Turn on your mixer. Put some Papervision3D into it. Add some Imageprocessing, basic math and then push the button. Have fun with a spicy result.
I created for this little example a new geometry object that can use any function and rotate that around a center which results in such a mesh. You know this maybe from your favorite 3D application. In this case I abuse the Curve class from my Imageprocessing library as such a function.
Update: Added two versions that use different functions.
I love it.
They used to call that to revolution a shape. The bezier curve is really weird. Are you sure the code of it doesn’t have a bug somewhere?
Apart from that, really nice example!
It is not a bezier curve but cubic interpolaton over some given points. A bezier wouldn’t be any problem at all but is different from what you see here.
Anyways this is the curve class I use to generate image levels so it goes from 0×00..0xff on x-axis and same for y-axis. The funcion which goes from 0 to 1 is like ( ( curve[ t * 0xff ] – 0×80 ) / 0×80 ) * scale which is not such a good idea. I just wanted to be able to transform the mesh actually (which is quick&dirty) :)
Cool, the sine one looks cool, you can try having another sine for the revolution, you will have a wavy mesh, kind of spikeish ;)
The spectrum one doesn’t work tho. Music plays, but nothing appears.
Strange, it works for me. Do you get an error?
wow. would be interesting to see the source…
Hi Joa! I found your roto when searching for papervision results. I am currently working on my diploma trying to make a dish configurator. As I would like to makte the interface with flash, I am now trying to get into papervision but it is very difficult. Would it be too much if I asked you for the source-code of your roto? As papervision has quite bad documentation and I am not really into programming I feel a bit lost. If you like you can visit my Blog where I have posted some images frm processing and a pdf of the current state of the interface.

Thanks for your help!
Really cool demo!
