The Equation-Driven Pots project has expanded with a new browser-based tool: QuadColorPotDesigner.
This new designer extends the earlier multi-color workflow by adding two interacting pattern masks that define four surface color states:
- base / neither mask
- pattern A only
- pattern B only
- overlap of A + B
That makes it possible to generate more advanced multi-color pot surfaces directly from equations, while still keeping the result printable and functional as a real pot.
Like the other tools in the project, QuadColorPotDesigner works from equation-driven geometry. The base form can be controlled mathematically, surface texture can be added independently, and the color logic can now be driven by two separate mask equations. This opens up new combinations of sculptural form, surface relief, and color-separated print workflows.
In addition to the new QuadColorPotDesigner, the project now has an online browser-based tool collection, so the HTML tools can be explored directly without downloading the repository first.
Main GitHub project:

Online tools:

The project now includes:
- cylindrical equation-driven pot design
- spherical equation-driven pot design
- unified textured pot design
- 2-color multi-part pot design
- 4-color QuadColorPotDesigner workflows
- guided sweep-based form generation
- Fusion 360 reconstruction workflows
Equation-Driven Pots continues to grow as both a practical 3D-printing project and a design system for exploring mathematics as a creative tool.
