Superscope
in the visualization called "living in a box" there's a superscope that has peaks which are flat
does anyone know how to do that? cuase it's really neat but i cant figure out the code, i've tried to break it down for almost 2 weeks now, but i cant figure out everything, would sumone please explain what the different values mean?

Thanks,
Jehan


here's an isolated superscope from the setting:

INIT: l=0;k=0;m=20;n=1000;mx=0;my=0;mz=0;dst=2;rx=0;ry=0;rz=0;rdx=0;rdy=0;rdz=1;p=3.14159265;p2=2.0*p;p3=180/p

ONBEAT: ;rdz=if(equal(rdz,1),2,1);

PERFRAME: =0;k=0;rx=rx+rdx;ry=ry+rdy;rz=rz+rdz;xs=sin(rx/p3);ys=sin(ry/p3);zs=sin(rz/p3);xc=cos(rx/p3);yc=cos(ry/p3);zc=cos(rz/p3)

PERPOINT: ;k=if(equal(k,m),0,k+1);
v1=if(equal(k,0),(v),v1);
y1=v1;
x1=2*i-1;z1=1;
y2=y1*xc-z1*xs;z2=y1*xs+z1*xc;x2=z2*ys+x1*yc;z3=z2*yc-x1*ys;x3=x2*zc-y2*zs;y3=y2*zc+x2*zs;x4=mx+x3;y4=my+y3;z4=mz+z3;x=x4/(1+z4/dst);y=y4/(1+z4/dst)

PERFRAME: =0;k=0;rx=rx+rdx

sorry, here's the whole PERFRAME thread, the missing variable is "l"



l=0;k=0;rx=rx+rdx;ry=ry+rdy;rz=rz+rdz;xs=sin(rx/p3);ys=sin(ry/p3);zs=sin(rz/p3);xc=cos(rx/p3);yc=cos(ry/p3);zc=cos(rz/p3)

It's actually easy, you simply take the same value for a series of points, instead of always a different one, like this:

k=if(equal(k,m),0,k+1);
v1=if(equal(k,0),(v),v1);
y1=v1;

This means k will go from 0 to 'm' and back. When k equals 0, a new 'v' is assigned to 'v1'. This is actually the same as k=(k+1)%m; (using the modulus operator, which means 'remainder after division of a by b').

An easier approach is to use getosc and getspec... they allow you to use any value you want.

By the way, try putting up a more descriptive topic the next time. This makes it easier for others when they are searching the forums (a thread titled 'Superscope' could cover anything about the SSC).
