Curv is a pure functional programming language for creating 2D and 3D art using mathematics, built on Function Representation (F-Rep) with GPU-accelerated rendering. It doubles as a geometric modelling tool supporting full colour, animation, and watertight mesh export (STL, OBJ, X3D) for 3D printing.

Use cases

  • create generative art with a functional programming language
  • model 3D shapes using signed distance fields and CSG
  • export watertight meshes for 3D printing
  • reproduce shadertoy-style graphics with simple programs
  • teach math through visual creative coding
  • make animated full-colour 2D and 3D models

When to choose

  • you want a beginner-friendly functional language for mathematical art
  • you need F-Rep or SDF-based modelling with GPU rendering
  • you need defect-free mesh export for full-colour 3D printing
  • you want to prototype shadertoy-like effects as reusable shape operators

When to avoid

  • you need a production CAD tool with precise engineering constraints
  • you require a stable, mature language with long-term support
  • you need a browser-only tool (web interfaces are early prototypes)
  • you want imperative or object-oriented modelling workflows
