While on season break we received quite a few questions. One of those mails pointed us to the amazing work of Loris Cecchini, a sculptor who created (among other stunning artworks) those wave pattern sculptures. At first it didn’t seem clear what’s going on there.
However when you take a closer look it turns out those shapes are caused by what’s called wave interference. That’s when multiple waves overlap and create more complex shapes. Usually interference is displayed as a 2D graph or some sort of heatmap. However if you use the wave’s amplitude to move points of a plane in space, you can create those mesmerizing patterns.
You guys have helped me so much as a cg artist.I am all the way in Kenya,Africa and I have learned so much from you guys.Thank you.
it opened my like crystalline ice style, thank you Moritz , it’s a fantastic work that you made here, thanks for helping to move forward. please check here if have a minute :

Glad you like it 🙂 Sadly the link seems to be dead… Cheers, Mo
That’s math folx !!!
Life’s not fun without sin() 😉

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Cheers, Mo
sorry Moritz,
I deleted it because I was waiting for you to upload it first to sideFX. it was just a bit of respect and humility.
here is again :
How might you remap this to manipulate a curved surface or a sphere, moving the points along the normals instead of the y-axis?
