Hi James,

Thank's a lot!

How much can be eclectic the MathArray Node made by Max ?!!

It would be fantastic if almost every plugin written until now for Moi,
could be rewritten for NodeEditor!!!

Nice day,

Marco (mkdm).

Thankyou James. Does the Nodeeitor work for V2 ?

Tom,

>> Does the Nodeeitor work for V2 ?

I don't know, I'm using V3.
I can't see why it wouldn't.
Give it a go, it's great fun.

Good Luck

Looks like an amazing tool - will have a look and hope to find instructions

About the Node Enneper : Maybe you must limit number of Lobes to 12!
It's freezes and blocks Moi over 12 ! (in reasonable time)

No nodes possible in V2. Thinking about transition to V3 but there are
still lots of secrets for me to unpack in V2 before getting to know all
the new treasures hidden in V3.

Hi.

The Enneper script generates curveswith very small dimensions around 1,5 mm.
Is there a way to change some numbers in the script to be able to generate curves with much larger dimension - I am currently curves with MaxRadiis around 170mm.

I achieve this by scaling, of cours, bur would be very helpful toe get the desired size directtly.

TOM

Since MoI does Scale, I usually do not put in a scale.

Here is a version with a built in scale multiplier.

- Brian

The enneper curves, depending upon settings, have about 2 orders of magnitude already. (???)

Attachment revised 9/28/2017, with Update error and Scaling error fixed.

See corrected script, post 25 below.

Hey Brian thank you - thats awesome !

I may be doing something wrong as I am getting different curves
with the two scripts using the same values - see attached file.

White _
Originale Enneper script
lobes 5 Max Radius 1,15 - then scaled manually

Red
New Enneper script
lobes 5 Max Radius 1,15 -scaled with slider

Hi Tom,
That is amazing!
So my thinking must be faulty, applying scale to points. I'll have to think on it some more...

So the problem is a very simple error, failing to place parenthesis around the equations for x and y, so that the scale applies to the whole line.
(z was correct as there was no addition, so the curves changed shape.)
- Brian

Script updated again with scaling error corrected. Updating also is corrected.

Hi,

I tried out the Ennepernode but ist does not run.

What I relalizeid ist that the node named "convert array" displays Points and Objects" whereas in the JPG posted by James the same node displays "In and Out."

An thought what I could do to get it running ?

Hi Tom,

The enneper array is working here, in both MoI3 and MoI4Beta.

Maybe install Jame's latest nodeeditor extensions?

I do not understand your sentence with convert array/Points and Objects/In and Out.

I'm not sure what version of nod file you are using, but it may contain deprecated nodes.
This one (attached) however, originally dates from late 2017 and still works.
Latest NE folder can be found here:

Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for helping,
I downloaded the node-file and yes, this one works !
I wonder where I had downloaded the version attached which
is different from the one recently posted.
It offers scaling options which is a feature I would be specially
helpful - but it does not work.
Could you Node Gurus take a look at it ?!
Brian, I added a screenshot to visualize what I meant.

Hi Tom,
My computer cannot open your JPG :(
Your enneper does not work on my computer either :(
It's bedtime, may look again tomorrow... :-)

Thats terrific James, thank you ! I had a look at your gallery and
am amazed about your Nodeology-skills. Do you have any background
in programming / math ?
Is there a thread collecting all the nodes available. I will have a look
at the simpler ones to understand how the system works.
As nothing seems impossible I am speculating if it would be possible
to also change the radius values of an Enneper with sliders.




PS The attachment was a scrrenshot of the node which does not work because
as you said ""MathArray" was superseded by "MathsPts"
