Yes it is different. Waves 2 & 3 are based on closest source. The wave-function at a specific point is defined by the nearest generator. The image on the left looks like it has interference, meaning all wave generators contribute to the wave function at any given point.

It's actually easier to do 1 as you just have to add together all partial waves to get the final result.

This shows how to create an interference effect. The Mass Addition component is key.

Hello,

I really like how this definition works but I am wondering how I could apply this same effect to a geometry such as a sphere. Is that possible? And is it possible to make it into a NURBS object?

Thanks

And nearest neighbour effect.
