HyperFun

What is HyperFun?

HyperFun is a specialized high-level programming language designed for modeling geometric objects and their internal volumetric properties, such as color and material density. This language allows the creation of models that include objects of mixed dimensions, ranging from 1D to kD, defined by real functions of point coordinates. HyperFun is applicable to a wide variety of modeling approaches, including algebraic, skeleton-based, and procedural "implicit" surfaces, convolution surfaces, distance-based models, voxel objects, constructive solids and volumes, and more general FRep objects. Models created in HyperFun can be interpreted by software tools for modeling, rendering, animation, and fabrication
