Wanna triple the amount of petals you have without actually defining new petals?
Asymmetric Petals
Right now the left and right control points are simply mirrors; controlling one controls the other. Two ideas:
1) Convex/concave. Retain some degree of symmetry but pull the petals convex or concave. You would still control both left and right points with one slider, like you do now. You might need a slider to control the distance of them too
2) Complete Independence. Allow every control point to operate independently. This quickly results in an insane amount of sliders. You will need to compress the hell out of the UI to make this feasible.
Just to be explicit, each petal is still the same as every other petal in a ring, but the petals themselves can be asymmetrical.
