Hi Al

FYI Attached is an alternative node wiring to achieve similar result using Mathpts.

Hello Max,
thank You for the answers. I have written a spline interpolation already. If you want to test it - it's called reMap. The last Patharray-node isn't posted - so I will do it now.
Thanks for your great work
and have a nice day
Karsten

p.s.: Comparison of Interp-modes. Thanks for the interesting aspects of the monotonic behavior of various interpolation strategies.

Hello Friends
Many thanks Karsten , for your timely information and advice....
many thanks Max , for having considered some of my requests....
many thanks James, marco , for vs suggestions and estimation-
I will continue to explore and share with you the results obtained with
the potential (ElephantMax'sNode-System)
See you soon

Hi Karsten,

and thanks a lot for your latest experiments!

A little bug....

If I use the ScaleUVW node with the Average mode, I get this error :

see this screenshot : http://take.ms/k7bSC

Best,

Hello Marco,

as mentioned, average doesn't work:-( and I don't figured out, where the problem is.

Have a nice day
Karsten

> as mentioned, average doesn't work...

I apologize....I forgot.

Have a nice day,

Flow Job:-)

Nice weekend to all!

Hi Karsten and a bug thank you for your nodes.
There is much to learn!

Just a little bug :

The resulting object presents some glitches.

In this screenshot http://take.ms/58Z82 they are displayed in blue.

Here's the resulting object.

Nice weekend.

Hello Marco,

switch of cap ends in the loft node (important! if not -> surprise;-) and change the const from 0,2,8,16 to eg 0.6,2,8,16! The problem is caused by a scaledown to 0!

Thanks for testing
Karsten

Hi Karsten and thanks.

I followed your instructions and everything works correctly with new const values.
As said by you, Loft with cap ends ON causes a Moi crash.

Only one thing does not convince me.

Why the resulting object is made by two elements ?
One, the cluttered, which is a joined surface, and the other one, a single surface sharp and clean.

You can see in this brief video the two unjoined surfaces

And here's the .3dm file

Hi Friends
another exercise to share

Hello Marco,
the example isn't the best choice to demonstrate the flow (relation between input and target), but it looks nice:-) Nevertheless it shows me problems with the factory, so I try to filter problematic inputs. Feel free to replace transform2.js with the hopefully improved version.
Have a nice evening

Hello Al,

very cool result! But, be careful - it's addictive ...

Have a nice day

Hello WastZZZ,
>>>>
I have 3 different objects: a, b, c.
How do I linear array them randomly? For instance a,a,b,a,c,c,a,b,b,a etc..

I thought about your intention to randomly array. There are various ways to implement such things, maybe it is possible to do that with the things, already present in V0.85 - I don't know. So my first idea is a node for that. It takes your input objects and create a new and longer array with randomly copies of your originals. These new objects can be placed with e.g. orient to any point array. Please try the attached files and give a feedback, if it is useful - maybe someone else has a better idea.

Have a nice day
Karsten

A second node window can be open on the MoI screen, along with the original.

For example, if customui is installed on Windows 7 :
1. Inside Moi3/ui/customui, make a copy of 99 NodeEdit.htm, and name it 98 NodeEdit2.htm.
2. Edit the 98 NodeEdit2.htm file, and change text 'nodeeditor/index.html', to 'nodeeditorTesting/index.html', and also change NodeEdit to NodeEdit2
3. Copy the contents of subdirectory nodeeditor to nodeeditorTesting. Modifications can be made to the files in the new nodeeditorTesting subdirectory.

The second node window could have different colors and different cursor.

The old motor2.nod file does not load properly in version .85.
The lochinvar blue (medium blue color) wires, hex 339999 color, do not work. Is this a compatibility bug?
However, if the three Math nodes are cloned, and rewired, the modified motor2.nod file works fine.
The new wires are shadow green (medium aquamarine color), hex 99ccaa color.
The three old Math nodes, and the lochinvar blue wires may be deleted.

There seem to be many different names for colors.
This website has some names for many colors:
http://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/#99CCAA

Gold wires: CCAA00, Buddha Gold.
Pink wires: BB77AA, Bouquet. Orchid seems close.

The epicycloidal reducer .3dm and nod file was previously given.
Similar to the motor nod file, the 4 math nodes had to be cloned and rewired.

Is there any reason not to activate the quartz node?
