Hi Al

FROM YOUR IMAGE >> How insert domain Ex (-2pi to 2pi)<<

In the URange or VRange field type:

-2*PI,2*PI

exactly as above, and it will populate field with numerical values.

I'm noy sure if this answers your question.
Let me know

-James

Hi james
Sorry, I'm too "speedy", I had not noticed
the comma as separator in the fields ,
I wrote-2 *pi to 2 * pi - like in Grasshopper-
Sorry...
Many appreciate your answers

Hello Max,

I thougth about an interpolation for numarrays. I choose a spline interpolation and activated your average mode. Maybe you can use parts of the code. Maybe someone can test it, if it is useful ...


Have a nice day

Hello James,

it is exacly what it should do. You have 11 circles and the radius is given as a sequence of numbers (1,2,1). The average mode in the circles-node, maps a interpolation of the three values to the radii of the circles. You can add or delete a value also- (I hope so:-) It isn't tested well, because the integration in litegraph.js is just a hack - as good as I understand the code.

Have a nice day

Hi Karsten,

I get it now. This will be very useful.

Thanks
- James

:-)
But I don't know, if average is the right word for that? Max has to decide about it!

---

p.s.: for 2 values it degenerates to a linear interpolation:-)

Hi Max and Friends .
I am trying to redo the exercise (twist), (simple in Grasshopper ) but can not find the same Node
Polygon pts-
Node that I can use at the time, has three called input
center, radius, sides,
and not two , as the one used in the video......
Where am I doing wrong ????
Thanks for your help

Hello Al,

I think that Max hasn't released the node, typically he post also the exampe.nod file for new features -so we have to wait:-)

Have a nice day

Thanks Karsten ,
I thought so, but I was not sure

Hi guys
I was busy few days, so I didn't wrote anything since tuesday.
Here is small announce for the new version:
PolygonPts node (done)
TransformPts node (done: twist, rotate; to do: explode)
Interpolation node (to do)
ConvertPts node improvements
pushFrame rad/deg bug fixed (again) :)) I accidentally wrote Math.pi instead of Math.PI in the last version.

I don't know when I will release the new version. Maybe this Sunday.

Good to know! Thanks a lot!

Sweet sounds to my ears.......
do not forget (tutor) exercises for beginners like me-
Great

I am testing it and it's great! Thanks.
Question for newbies: how do I extrude some shapes randomly? I can generate a random number but of course the number is used for every extrusion.

maybe you have to set Long rather than Short
in the field math

PathPoints:-) only integration of the startframe evaluation is missing at the moment!

Have a nice day

Hello James,

I had make some tests with the average-mode and found two bugs. If you want, you should correct this two lines:
r.push((e[1]-e[0])); //error corrected was r.push(2*(e[1]-e[0])); !!!
r.push((e[i]-e[i-1])-((r[i-1]*h[i-1])/u[i-1])); // error corrected was r.push((e[i]-e[i-1])-(r[i-1]*h[i-1]/u[i-1]));!!!
in basicFunctions.js -splineMap-function.

Have a nice day

Thanks Karsten,

It fixed an anomaly in interpolation with > 3 values in radii input series
as well as crashing bug if U,V or W input centre value < the number
of values values in radii input series.

I can't wait until Max has finalised the foundations of node editor,
to see what you build upon it.

Keep up the great work
James

Hello James,
thanks for the reply. If you want to test another node, please test this one. But first you have to correct pushFrame in litegraph.js as described here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7713.436
PathArray in Points2.js generates an aligned pointarray along a curve. ShowFrame shows now all Frames in a pointarray - I think useful for test.

Have a nice day
Karsten
