Created with hexagonal pattern functions, f_hex_x() and f_hex_y().
I will post the source in p.t.s-f.

Amazing! I like to see what people can do with isosurfaces; especially when
it's not purely abstract. The short render time also impresses me this time.
But I don't understand all of the code.. Square roots for example.. What are
they used for?? Sorry I had to ask.

Ok, isosurfaces ARE cool, but...
...isn't that basically using POV as a very high-end
graphing calculator? ;)
I know, I know, I'm just envious 'cuz Moray doesn't
let you make them, and haven't finished any scene
enough to go in by hand and add things after building
the lot of it in Moray....
Just had a thought. You can really do away with
primitives, what with isosurfaces being what they
are and all...reduce entire scenes to one equation. ;)

Stop it! Stop it! I can't take it any longer! I don't have a fast PC and I keep
thinking up isosurfaces that I'd love to try but don't have the time for. Plus
I've still got 2 more years to pay my PC off :oP

They are slow, but not any slower than media...

Don't you hate it when that happens...?

I tried the Isosurface-CSG-blob from the docs and had to wait a long time just
for that. Granted, that was on the 333 MHz Celeron at work (I have a 650 MHz
Duron at home)

Yeah. By the time I've paid off this thing I should be able to get something
more than 3 times as fast for about half the price I'd have paid for it =)

That really is quite stunning. I just hope I can understand the
code.
Thanks for sharing.

Great items...
I saw those and immediately thought "Storage containers".
So here's my real question.
Let's say I was going to do a whole warehouse of those containers... maybe 12,000 of
them.
What is the most efficient way to replicate them? Is there a way to make it reside in
memory once?
Sorry OO programmer here.

The snowflake and wireframe box ones are great, I like those most.
Hopefully these all tile onto planes as well.

That is so cool. Only the creator could come up with isosurfaces this
interesting. :) I really like the hexagon-brick (third from the top on the
left).
