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 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:
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!
After considerable manipulation a 4 hole Scherk2 surface was created from the basic uv curves.
Only one quadrant of open curves was used. The ends were connected with a through point curve, and then mirror and revolve to get 4 sets.
The through point curves were blended 4 times, and the 8 curves joined. Then network worked quickly. A 3 point circle trimmed the rounded ends.
Vertical copy and revolve of the surface enabled join to work.
