[Bf-committers] The best way to make 3D surface from a math equation(s) using blender?

[joe]

We don't support implicit surfaces via user-inputted equations (ah
which I assume is what you want? like pov-ray?)  You could write a
python script that'd do the calculations and tessellate the result,
but it'd be quite a lot of work.
