Creates points that form a shape defined by parametric math expressions.
The math expressions can use the variables U and V. This node calculates each expression for evenly spaced values of U and V. Each calculation becomes one of the resulting points.
Time
— The time at which to calculate the expressions. (This only affects the output if the Time
variable is used in the expressions.)X Expression
, Y Expression
, Z Expression
— The math expressions for the (X,Y,Z) position of each point.Rows
, Columns
— Each of the above expressions is calculated for Rows
number of values of V and Columns
number of values of U. The total number of points created is Rows * Columns
.The math expressions can use:
U Min
to U Max
and V Min
to V Max
Columns
and 1 to Rows
, respectivelyFor a complete list of the operators and functions available, see the Calculate
(vuo.math.calculate
) node’s description.
