Here you go Kram and people:

Code: Select all

import Blender
from Blender import Mesh,Scene
from time import time



scn=Scene.GetCurrent()

def generate(location, scale, level, currentVerts,currentFaces):
	
	for i in range(32):
		currentVerts.append([i,0.1*i**2,0])
		if i>0:
			currentFaces.append([i-1,i])
	return [currentVerts,currentFaces]


t=time()

i=1
v,f=generate([0,0,2],1,0,[],[])
level=Mesh.New(str(i)+'level')
level.verts.extend(v)
level.faces.extend(f)
ob=scn.objects.new(level,'lensShape')
ob.setLocation([i*2,0,0])
print "It took %2.2fs"%(time()-t)
Blender.Redraw()

It's awful code, but it'll make one side of a parabola for you. Scale it down and shape the other side if you want, or make it flat, whatever, then spin it.

ah!
I searched it for three days, now, as I forgot, which thread it was xD
I saw your chat box message, though.
(for some reason, this thread wasn't even marked orange O.o )
thank you, very much
