[maxmsp] 2d.wave~ question

Hi Joe,

I did my masters thesis on Wave Terrain Synthesis. I looked at a lot  
of existing methodology for this technique, and looked at some  
alternative methodology for multi-dimensional systems. And I did very  
briefly look at 2d.wave~ as an existing implementation in Chapter 1.

Please bear in mind, the examples documented do not utilize many of  
the further enhancements made to MaxMSP since I submitted! And  
ideally many of the objects and sub-patches should have been  
individually compiled for reasons of efficiency.

Find thesis here:

Thanks!
