3.59. wave ball

[next]

The wave sphere [ 9 ] is represented by the following equations.

 

x = u cos(cos(u)) cos(v)

3-196

 

y = u cos(cos(u)) sin(v)

3-197

 

z = u sin(cos(u))

3-198

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, 14.5]

 
 

v is an element of the number set [0, 2 pi]

 

The domain of definition can be changed in the plugin.
