Enlighting!


<<So I need a different way to make the PNG?
You have no choice to make different level of rendering image at the begining of the PDF process?
Seems remember that ...but a long time that i don't made a PDF! (i have not more this program)

Blurry for me only when you make a big zom!

French translation of your Tutorial in a few days! :)

Thanks PILOU,

I updated the PDF a little bit.

Quartz is in the translate list.
Quartz is also a basic node, but its activation is commented out in the basic.js file.
Quartz refers to a quartz watch.

To activate Quartz, by editing the basic.js file, uncomment it by changing //LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Basic/Quartz", Quartz);
to: LiteGraph.registerNodeType("Basic/Quartz", Quartz);

Try replacing the slider in motor2.nod with a Quartz node for slow, continuous animation.

The Hz (Hertz) input should control cycles per second, somehow?
The Hz input does not seem to do anything?

- Brian

Hmm, there is also a Watch node...
The Watch node can be wired in just after the Quartz node.
The Watch node displays the input numbers. With Quartz, the numbers go from 0 to 359.

Quartz can have its step value changed, and has a tic-tac mode.

So Quartz acts like an automatic slider?

Hi Max,

How are you ? I hope well.

Have you got some good news about a new official release of your NodeEditor ?

In my garbage time i'm continuing to code some new utility nodes for PointArray or in general but,
if i remember correctly, you said that the next version of NodeEditor will present a major rewrite of the fundamental datatypes,
so i would like to know if it's better for me to wait the new version, instead of coding nodes that will not work anymore.

Nice day,

Marco (mkdm).

Hi Marco!
I'm fine, thank you! :)
I have no time for programming right now, but it will not last for long. Wait two or three weeks.

>> the next version of NodeEditor will present a major rewrite of the fundamental datatypes
I have plans to replace Number type with NumberArray type. It should be last change in the datatype system.

Max's motor2.3dm is here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7713.203

Also, to try out the continuous animation, copy the modified basic.js to nodeeditor/nodes directory.

Hi Max,

It's good to know that you're okay.

> I have plans to replace Number type with NumberArray type. It should be last change in the datatype system.

Thank you for this heads-up.
I think that it shouldn't be a problem for the utility nodes i'm coding, for the PointArray datatype.

One more question, just about the PointArray.
Did you plan to code some business logic that will supply programmatic ways to select the PointArray's element ?

I realize that i've already asked this in other posts and with other words,
but i think that this would be a very very powerful thing.

For the time being, i've only written the "PatternSelArray" node, but it can be done much, much more :)

Nice day,

Marco (mkdm).

Hi bemfarmer,

Thank you very much for your great work !!

It's kinda like a cornucopia for other similar ideas...

Nice day,

Marco (mkdm).

Hi Max!

How are you ?

> I have no time for programming right now, but it will not last for long. Wait two or three weeks.

What about the new release of project Elephant ?

Ciao!

Hi Marco! :)

I don't know when I release the new version. :(
I'll try to do it this month.

---

Hello Max!

OK, that's good to know !

Thanks.

Hi guys! :)
Sorry for delay.. My work takes all free time during last months.
But today I wrote a few lines of code :)

---

Take your time!

---

Hi Max!

I'm glad to see you back here!

Waiting for your new version of NodeEditor...

So, I can finally finish my bunch of utility nodes for pointArray() data structure.

Ciao!

- Marco (mkdm)

Hi Marco

I made a lot of changes in the internal structure today. The work goes faster than expected. :)
Right now I rewrite all nodes for using numarrays as input data. It will take couple of days.
Wait for the new version next week.

Hi Max,

I'm glad to know that your work is almost done!

> Right now I rewrite all nodes for using numarrays as input data.

Well...which means most likely I have to rewrite some portions of my utility nodes.

I'll wait and see :)

Ciao!

P.S. One last question Max.
Some times ago, when you developed the excellent SubDiv scripts, if I remember correctly,
you said that one day you'd add the ability to accept surfaces with more then 4 edges.
Do you think to upgrade SubDiv script in order to give it that feature ?

Thanks a lot and have a nice day.
