Enhancement of Gielis’ Supershapes in Generating Nature Motifs
Abstract
Nature motifs have played an important role in designing and generating most products such as jewellery, fashion, furniture, textile, or visual arts. The designers may translate their ideas by using the mathematical equations to design the products inspired by the nature motifs. One of the mathematical equations that can be used in creating or designing nature motifs is the Gielis’ Supershape (GS). This formula has been introduced by Johan Gielis, who is the botanist and mathematician. In this paper, we will discuss the nature motif that can be created by using the GS. We also proposed the enhanced GS and do some comparisons. As a result, it shows that the nature shape created by using the enhanced GS is more impressive compared to the shape created using the original GS.
