MathMod is an interactive mathematical modelling and visualisation application for creating three-dimensional surfaces from mathematical equations. It supports implicit and parametric representations, allowing users to investigate geometric structures and explore how changes to equations affect their appearance.
The application provides a graphical environment for working with mathematical models, including complex surfaces and objects constructed from multiple components. A collection of example models offers a starting point for experimentation, while its scripting system gives users control over mathematical expressions, colours, textures and animation parameters.
MathMod is suitable for mathematical exploration, education, scientific visualisation and generating geometric models for further use in 3D applications.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Generate three-dimensional isosurfaces from implicit mathematical equations.
- Create parametric surfaces in three-dimensional and four-dimensional mathematical spaces.
- Support for complex-valued parametric surfaces and composite mathematical objects.
- Interactive OpenGL viewer for examining mathematical models from different perspectives.
- Extensive collection of predefined mathematical models and example scripts.
- Script editor for modifying equations, model parameters and geometric properties.
- Define custom mathematical functions, constants and variables within scripts.
- Combine multiple surfaces and apply conditional expressions to select particular regions.
- Procedural texture generation with configurable RGB and HSV colour representations.
- Control lighting, material appearance, ambient properties and specular reflections.
- Create morphing animations by varying mathematical parameters over time.
- Generate animated sequences using model rotation and time-dependent expressions.
- Export mathematical models in OBJ format for use with other 3D applications.
- Script generation for adding thickness to implicit and parametric surfaces.
- Undo and redo support for navigating previous script modifications.
- Configurable calculation grids and multithreaded processing options.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
