Rhino Math

Ever wanted to define a curve or surface by equation, not just by points?

Rhino Math is a small plugin that allows you to create a surface or curve from an equation. It came in very useful when I needed a loft path based on the deformation of a water wave. The plugin computes all the basic operations(+,-,x,/) as well as exponents, logarithms and trig functions. It also has the ability to use user-definable variables.

  1. This was used quite effectively in your current project and is a good reference point for future work.
