Hi there,

Last week, the heise newsticker had an article[1] about the
superformula. It is told that using this formula, you can describe
(almost) every thinkable shape with only a few parameters. Well, they
had a link to a site[2] where you can download a tool to play around
with, and even export a mesh to pov! I couldn't resist and now I think
I would like to share this with you.. even if only the rendering is
done in pov.
There was also someone who implemented the formula in pov[3],
dynamically generating a mesh. I didn't try that yet.

Ah yes, I was so stupid to not store the parameters to the formula for
this object, sorry ;)


Greets, 

Dave V.
