Hi i’d like to make costa surface like attached image
Does it have to be made with Python?
attach some link may it help
Thanks!
Other than Daniel’s stuff:
Equation: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CostaMinimalSurface.html
PS: I have somewhere a C# that does this … but is made years ago and I barely can recall where is it (workstation, directory etc etc).
Google?
I think the easiest way is the sub-d approach. But if it is the best solution depends what you want to do with it. Of course you can also make Costa’s Surface from a single NURBS srf but that’s more tricky.
In my workstations? LOL
BTW: Found about 20 freaky things none of them is a Costa (Karma, what else?) . Here’s some. Notify if you need any.

Interesting
where these come from?
did you made all by yourself?
Yes.
In general given any equation … the rest are rather easy (in some cases you need checks for NaN and the likes).
BTW: These are a good intro on min surf matters:
minimal_surfaces.pdf (1.2 MB)
minimal_surfaces2.pdf (3.5 MB)
BTW: Found some 10 more in another workstation but none is a Kosta (maybe is deleted and/or is lost due to the traditional annual system crash (happens around August every year)).
