Hello,

I want to share my last investigations of subD for the elephant. I have simple wrapped Max SubD-Script in a node. Sorry about the videoformat. It's my first screenrecording and I have some problems with the upload.



Kind regards
Karsten

You will not erase this one ? ;)

Hello Pilou,

I have not deleted the other video. YT has deleted it, caused by a 95% problem. So I made a new one and converted it before upload - but I'm to stupid to get a correct aspect ratio:-). Maybe some day I will find the time for better results.

Have a nice day
Karsten

No problem! :)

Hi Max
Is it possible to have a node that outputs the X,Y & Z box dimensions of a selected object.
Unfortunately I don't have the ability to write it myself.
Cheers
Barry

Any chance of an update on Project Elephant progress.
I have been checking the forum incessantly since your last posting:
"New alpha/beta vesions will be soon :)"

Please don't mistake my enthusiasm for impatience.

Hi James

Yes, I will continue development of this project in the nearest future. But now I have no free time at all.
I'm sorry for the delay.

Max soon the return! ;)

Hello Max,

that looks really great! An there are a lot of interesting details! I can not wait any longer, to study these stuff!

Have a nice day
Karsten

Great work Max,

I'm especially impressed with productivity enhancements.

Thanks
James

Hi Karsten, I'll try to post the new beta version this weekend.

---

That's great news!
The moment before earth quake!

p.s.: That's what I'm playing with at the moment:-)

Hi Max: First of all big thanks for your great support !!!

In the context of MoI and scripting I am wondering if it would be possible to integrate functions
for minimal surfaces, some kind of relaxation of meshes as it is the case with 'RhinoMembrane'
in order to create surfaces in analogy to soap films: equal tension in all directions. ???

Here are some examples for that specific form findig process of anticlastic surfaces:

Any comment is highly appreciated,
thanks + best wishes !

Names of boxes are some curious! :)

Hello Pilou,

with respect to my wife, it is allways a good argument, to write a shopping list, while playing around with elephants;-)

---

A good mnemonic trick! :)

---

Hello Ken,

for me it Looks like the Network command of Moi - with turned on control Points (3 and 4 sided examples). Am I right? The form finding is something else, what I didn't understand at the Moment:-(
By the way - I saw a lot of clicks!

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Ken,

I had another look to these stuff. It seems to be a finite difference or a finite element analyse behind the algorithm!?!

---

New nodes and features


Karsten,
Cool! I'm really impressed!

Ken,
Yes, it can be implemented to my subd script. I'll think about it later. Right now I need to finish this NodeEdit project.
