Hi-Lo algorithm . I found somewhere this algorithm , and made this demo , simulating waves with Grid ( net ) . It looks interesting and it is possible to make various models of 3D grid-waves , depends on math function you choose. I've added simulation of animated 3D grid-wave , just to make it more effective. It is nice graphical performance , and with possibility to make a lot of extensions in this field of programming. However , it is not so easy to understand , but I hope that it could be useful. See the screenshot . I would like to see your comments about , and votes :) Enjoy ! !

I've been looking for some way to do this in VB for a while! I'm in Multivariable Calculus now, and we do a lot of 3D graphing. I can't do it with my graphing calculator (it's 2D only), and this will help a lot. Keep up the good work! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This is very cool. I submitted a "contour" type of 3D mathematical plot some time ago. (Do a search for "3D mathematical plot") with a math parser built-in and custom colors. I'll try to combine my color codes to create a colored mesh grid. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This code is awesome! The author, Rod Stephens, has many more examples in his book (where this code came from) that are even cooler than this one. I bought the book about 3 yrs ago entitled: "Visual Basic Graphics Programming" published by Wiley. You could probably get it at amazon.com. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Oh man, this isn't your original code. Sorry to say this but, seen already. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

To stop the flickering in the animation, goto to ShowFrames sub under the frmWaves. Now, change the following line of code: Pict.Picture = SurfaceImage(num).Picture To this line of code: Pict.PaintPicture SurfaceImage(num).Picture, 0, 0, , , , , , , vbSrcCopy (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
