The SuperShaper

The "Super Formula" is a mathematical formula that describes many shapes existing in nature.

To demonstrate GPGPU and to show that it can be used for many purposes including simply having some fun, we developed the "SuperShaper".

A tool that uses OpenCL to create high-detail 3D models using the Super Formula.

Download

The SuperShaper is still in development. An development snapshot can be downloaded here.
The SuperShaper now supports any OpenCL 1.0 device (CPU/GPU). Tested on: Intel (CPU), AMD (CPU & GPU) and NVidia (GPU).
The OpenCL and OpenGL on one device situation is still the fastest due to buffer sharing.

WebGL experiment

A simple version is now available online using WebGL. At least Firefox 4, Chroome 9 or Safari 5.1 is required. MS Internet Explorer does not support WebGL.
