Is it possible to add a feature so that we can simply edit the numbers rather than dragging the sliders, this way it's easier to get control of everything in my opinion. :) (It's not very important though.)

Actually, at the beginning I was using number inputs instead of sliders, however, openFramework's library doesn't update edited numbers in real-time i.e you have to push reset to see the changes. For sliders the changes happen in real-time and in my opinion this real-time visual feedback is essential for fine-tuning & finding interesting patterns. We'll revisit this option in later releases.

I just had a glance on the openFramework's docs and I have an idea: You can check whether the user has completed the input through ofKeyEventArgs(), then update the numbers. (It's just an immature idea)
I am unfamiliar to both C++ and openFramework, so please forgive all misunderstandings!

I have added a simple Python port to this repo.

I have added the ability to save and load parameters for the C++ version and made the screen size 1600 by 900 to be a bit more friendly for those who don't have Full HD monitor. I also added a folder where I'm planning to add some interesting models showcased in the video so that users can easily load these models. In future, we could add many more interesting models.

Hi, I'm just a beginner who is trying to compile your cpp source code. When I try to compile I get "fatal error: 'ofMain.h' file not found". Could you tell me why I get this error? Thank you

you need to install openframeworks then launch the project generator and import the cpp code
