Minimal Surface Function

A minimal surface as a scalar field repeating in x, y and z, scaled to stay within −1 to +1. Its zero level is the surface.

Inputs

Surface Choice

The minimal surface: Gyroid, Schwarz P, Diamond (Schwarz D), Lidinoid, Split P or Neovius.

Cell size Number

Length of one repeat along each axis (default 10).

Output

Number

Used by: any block that takes Number (95 blocks)

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

Solid Solid

The field read as a Solid whose surface is where the field is zero.

BoundingBox Bounding Box

The box the field is evaluated in.

Negative Number

The field with its sign flipped (−f), which swaps inside and outside.

Redistanced Number

The field divided by its gradient length (f/|∇f|) so it reads close to a true distance; the zero set does not move.
