How do you resolve parametric functions to 0?

[xavier.bury]

So i trying to figure out this kind of equations in GH but can’t figure it out

I tried with this

Heart.gh (16.7 KB)
But it didn’t work…

How do you go about this? (Without python preferably)…

TIA

Check this: Julia’s parametric heart equation

This type of equation is intended to be solved with isosurfacing tool like millipedes and others tools

Isosurfaces / Signed Distance Fields

[image] [image] Here’s a script that lets you input an implicit equation as a string and makes a level set/isosurface mesh. Isosurfacer.gh (17.8 KB) This is a version of the method given by Paul Bourke here. (in particular this tetrahedral version), which @laurent_delrieu had already kindly shared a translation of into Rhino/C# here. This takes Laurent’s script as a starting point and makes a few improvements and speed ups. The file contains 2 versions - one which lets you input the equ…

To do it without any scripting or plugins, I guess for this shape you could also sample the function along radial lines and get the roots like this:

thanks guys, you are amazing!
