Here’s my second posting which involves Enneper surfaces (which are related to the mathematical study of minimal surfaces). Can’t seem to add “math” as a tag so science it is.
To me, the shape is very nice, so I imported it from Mathematica (from their demo project located here at : https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/EnneperSurface/ ). Then tweaked, textured and rendered all within Blender 2.82a. Opinions welcome.
Playing with the particles proved the trickiest as the particles refused to simply lay on the surface (even with size deflection turned on/off + various other settings - I think I tried everything). Perhaps would anyone have any advice on this?
I think you have done well with the particles so far. They are not the easiest to use, and getting the type of features you need, we need to wait for the ‘every nodes’ project to come through. You might be able to achieve some of what you want with the animation nodes addon. You essenially can have a event based workflow run the particles for you.
@fxgogo and @gstaub thank you both for the kind words. Most of the time was spent trying to get the particles to work correctly. The Enneper surface is one of my favorite mathematical shapes and it’s related to minimal surfaces. More info can be found here: https://mathcurve.com/surfaces.gb/enneper/enneper.shtml
