I made this small and sloppy processing program for the Reasonable Music project to help me sculpt and export 3d shapes that are based on Paul Bourke’s supershapes formula. A lot of this is just based off Daniel Shiffman’s youtube tutorial, and there are similar web-tools out there already, but this one has a randomiser and also lets you export the shape as an OBJ, which you can then import into blender etc for animation or 3d printing. A lot of the generated models are going to be weird star shapes, but occasionally you will get these really wild asymmetrical forms that would be hard to model by-hand. I think the best approach is just to spam the R key until something crazy turns up. I have included a bunch of fun models in the zipped folder.
It needs a bunch of free libraries to run, and it only works in Processing 4.0+.
