Tracks & nodes draw a gun! ;)

Hi Barry,

I'm not an expert, so I can't decide if this is a proper way, but I think everything works fine. I'm playing with the @'Y'@ like some others, too. Remarked by chipp, the system is not easy to use at the moment, but playing with it, will help to find better solutions.(like your comments:-))

Max announced some changes in the core system that will help reduce wiring, but maybe some nodes have to be changed, alot will be obsolete. I'm not a programmer and time is limited, so I will have a look to a reset function or some better defaults, with the next version of max core system.

Keep on playing:-)

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi ,
being a beginner I'm posting this file hoping for some feed back on where I could
improve it or make it easier.
The attached node file as two arrays combined to allow nesting of objects.
In the picture the red and silver objects are the same. This was an exercise to maximise
a mould layout for a given shape with the ability to rotate and adjust and offset centres.

Cheers
Barry

Hello Barry, Hello James,

It should be a bug if it isn't work. I will have a look tomorrow.
Very interesting to see the different application areas and different point of view to the same thing.
Sorry, if there are bugs in the nodes.

Happy new year to all
Karsten

Hi James & Karsten,
I'm not sure if this may help but I replicated James problem and found you could
produce the sine wave in the X & Y or Y & X also X & Z but not Y & Z.

Happy new year
Barry.

Hallo Barry,
Thank you for your investigations. The problem is that I check the input of x(n) and generate not an default array for that. So if you put an array with the same number of values, with start value 0 and step 0, it should work (all ports connected to avoid side effects). I am waiting till next alpha of the @'y'@ to find a better solution, because Max has announced big changes in value handling - maybe he will integrate some better solutions by himselve? I'm very curious:-)

Kind regards
Karsten

@ = Ear
' = Eye

Hello Max,
Happy new year! I am very excited about the changes you have made:-) and I hope, I will understand them!

Kind regards

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.
