The kidney surface [ 8 ] is represented by the following equations.
|
x = cos(u) (3 cos(v) - cos(3v)) |
3-129 |
|
|
y = sin(u) (3 cos(v) - cos(3 v)) |
3-130 |
|
|
z = 3sin(v) - sin(3v) |
3-131 |
To represent the area, the two parameters u and v can assume the following values (domain of definition), for example.
|
u is an element from the set of numbers [0, 2 pi] |
||
|
v is an element from the number set [-pi/2, pi/2] |
Since the Kidney Surface is a closed figure, the definition range must be adhered to exactly, it cannot be changed with the plugin.
The plugin creates an optimized mesh without duplicate points and unconnected polygons.
