@Apophis

Yes totally crazzy but absolutly necessary if like me you want have any chance to make something with it when you come from the moon! :)

---

Thx to James but some headaches for adapt its advice at any volumes! :)
(give a specific place to the new resized element : here its Bounding box ...
better than nothing but wanted a more specific one like a same x,y,z for same start / target Pt's element !

...and what is Mode Repeat, RepeatY, RepeatZ ?

Pilou,

It is not clear to me what you mean, but cloneToPts node would generally be used with multiple points.
Attached is a better example of its use. ScalePts is multiprocessing values between 1 - 2 relative to distance from origin shown in red, to points in an array.

(Note: that my "PointArray" node is the same as your "Points" node; I changed the title in the code because I think it is a more appropriate description and less similar to "Point". It will still load OK in NE)

Hope that makes it clearer.

So MathPts can make a u,v network of a surface in 3d space by feeding its output into two ConvertPts, one with Curve U output, and one with Curve V output,
based upon a mathematical formula with Javascript math, which includes typical math such as sines, cosines, *, +, etc.
Feeding Curve U and Curve V into a network should make a surface.

James, your light color scheme look very good. Will you be making it available?

I'm glad you like my NE mod UI. I find it more legible.

I have attached my nodeEditor folder. It also includes my alterations to node labelling and titling of many of the nodes for logical consistency and removal of redundant info. This does not in any way impact on the operation of NE, or the opening & running of existing .nod files; it is purely cosmetic. Nevertheless clarity & consistency are, IMHO paramount UI/UX considerations.

I encourage you to give it a go....however if you only want to change the colour scheme, just replace main.js & colors.js in the core folder.

Have a great weekend

Thank you James, your colors now replace the "dark" theme.
The previous "light" theme is also still available with appropriate alternate hotkeys.

@James ...something like this! Target of the scaled volume(s) has the same x,y,z than the start one!



because all your examples used a figure who have yet a "center" inside their definitions so more easy to manage! :)
There is not such thing inside a simple complex volume(s) selection except maybe the Bounding Box...but I wish a specific x,y,z point :)
(maybe your last example will give me some ideas ...

Maybe JitterPts Node who has a Scale item inside can also make something...
other thing : Why colors of links have changed in your new personnal design UI of Node Editor?

@Bem ... yes i see the theory but can you put a little example with the nodes Math concretely for see how input formula in a Math node! :)

---

Ok find my wished Scale! :)
Start Object is selected at the good X,Y,Z position! (1,2,3)

The trick was to put 1,2,3 inside the Node Point (but even seem the "Frame" works only with 2 x,y positions ? )
and 1,2,3 inside the Move Node! :)
so some relatively easy :)

Alternatively use objects2/scaleUVW. See below

@ James Yep ...but I am for the moment only on the Native Nodes! :)

Your help will be of course needed for the extention Nodes...when I will finished the Native part!

---

"Out" of JitterPts seems gives bad link...

---

Finally found JitterPts and the scale inside! :)

JitterPts Node (English french)

Now have one Star figure on the screen during the animation is another story...
surelly restrain the Array Point...Yes it is! :)

---

Less esoteric example of the CloneToPts node :)

---

TransformPts Node (English French) rest MathPts in this section! :)

http://moiscript.weebly.com/points-e.html

---

More precision about TextPts Node (Don't know if there are more than 6 parameters ?

---

If for the normal Math Node I can understand where put some formulas, I am more perplex for the MathPts Node! :)



I need some examples for unblock the situation! :)

Hi Pilou,
The X, Y, and Z can be functions of u and v.
So X = sin(u) would be one example. Y = cos(v), Z = sqrt(something)...
Or more complex equations.

Check out the Macro's, which are likely from James:
mobius, offsetGrid, sineSurf, waveSurf, quadSpheres.

It would be nice to find a really cool example.
Maybe a curvy surface in 3d...

Here is an enneper example by James, posted by Pilou :-)

James link to the nod file EnneperScaling.nod:

https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6521.34

Note the complex formulas.

I think this one is an excellent example.
A surface in formed in 3d space.

The iso linecurves can be viewed with the MoI iso command.

Many Thx! Ok All is clear now! :)

Just a little last question : does it possible to increase the size of the Info Pannel? (seems not)
because biggest formulas are truncated at the screen!
