My favorite topic here is the one labelled: METHFUSION - never a dull moment. Where do nodes go when they die?

Hello Moi3D community, this is my first post here! I hope it is appropriate for me to tag on to this topic.

I have been a regular reader on the discussion forum, and am very grateful to everyone for being so generous with sharing knowledge and tools. I am a Graphic Designer by trade and love Moi3D to experiment in 3D as it seems so similar to other tools I use. My interests lie in Phyllotaxis, ever since studying Karl Blossfeldt's photography.

My question,

Would it be possible to translate the attached, into a customisable NodeBundle for outputting points? I have tried my best to translate something myself, but alas my inexperience is limiting.



I found the example from the excellent post by Christopher Carlson on the Wolfram Blog, http://blog.wolfram.com/2011/07/28/how-i-made-wine-glasses-from-sunflowers/

Thank you so much for the great tool Max, and thank you for the amazing builds and mods since developed.
Thank you in advance for any help or pointers, Christian

Hi Pilou, I hope this message finds you well!

Thank you very much for replying to my question.

The Fermat script is indeed a perfect match, but I am hoping to further manipulate the points within NodeBundle and to have greater control over the process, with the opportunity to add objects to each point.

Where I became stuck with NodeBundle was attempting to create a point array, I have the underlying math which I can apply to 1 x point, but I was unable to figure a way to generate multiple points, or apply the rotation and distance to the n'th point in a defined range.

Thanks so much,

Christian

Hi Christian, welcome to the MoI forum!

I'm not familiar enough with the node editor myself to set that up for you but hopefully someone else will help you with it.

Michael,
Why not arrange a WEBINAR of sorts - even for making NODES?!

Webinar's are interesting where we can all input to the online action - and learn new 'tips & tricks'.

What do you say?
Cheers,
Charles daVinci

Hi Ced, it's not a bad idea but I'm not familiar with running webinars right now, so it's not something that I would do. If you'd like to set one up then certainly go ahead!

The forum right here is already a good spot to share information and tips & tricks though.

- Michael

Fascinating!

Did you know 'node' is synonymous with 'knob'?

I've PUT-OFF installing these quirky NODES for a month now - trepidation I'll ruin my beautiful mod-Moi configuration.

The possibilities with nodes! Next: Is it possible to have them 'Flow on Surface?' YIKES!
Cheers,
Horacio Aguascalientes

Does this last Node's file works with the official Max Elephant or with the modified one ? (or both) ?
Sure I can test it but... :)

Hello Pilou,
the modified one;-) caused by shiftDublicate, but it's possible to replace it by interp here :-) to work with the core version.
Have a nice day
Karsten

Hello Ced,

your mod-UI is independent from the nodeeditor installation, so you don't have to fear about that.
And someone called Gates told us: "Allways have a backup"

By the way, a very untested flow node is present in the modified version:-)
(I hope I get you right)

Have a nice day (from far far away)
Karsten

Yeah! I have ORGANIC surfaces, which, if the ARRAY, pattern & Fibonnaci nodes 'FLOW ON SURFACE' would make my dreams come true! I've been trying to make textures & patterns generate in matrix & double reverse matrix with SLIDER SIZING - to seamlessly FIT & WRAP.

That way I can take a sunflower head - a flat one, and flow it onto a complex network curve or lofted surface -

I'm almost caved-in to buy 3d Coat!
Thanks,
M C Humperdinck

Dear Karsten

Thank you so much for your generous time in helping me learn more about Nodebundle and for the well-described .nod file. I appreciate your help, especially given I am new around here!

Thank you, Michael, for your note, thanks for making all this possible

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Christian

I wanted to share a little update, I have been playing with the file Karsten kindly created all afternoon, and found that I was able to begin adjusting the Z-coordinates on a hemisphere. I hope to eventually space the points successfully to a sphere, or other surfaces.

Exactly! That's exactly right: Flow to Surface!

To add sliders - or input values into a box would be ideal - what that would do is take Moi3d to a whole new level of parametric - terrazzo modeling which is piss-poor in Rhino!

There are other tools e.g., Armadillo & parametric tools, however they aren't nearly as intuitive as Moi's NODE functionality.

I'm looking into the adding a webinar functionality to this 'Behive Forum' which is without live video broadcast capabilities - sadly.

If possible I may setup a live cam forum for brainstorming & sharing scripts, shortcut keys & nodes, as well as cool tips & tricks within - is this something that the inmates of this auxiliary lunatic asylum would be interested in - participating?

Perhaps, with those added tools increasing the functionality of the foundation Michael has built, together we could add-on creative branches which would take Moi3d in a direction which would carve out a soft 'pattern parametric array glow in surface terrazzo' object - that compliments hard edged CAD.

I may be off topic - if so - I'll begin a new post on this subject: webinars
Cheers,
Bill Gore

A quick follow-up to my previous post.

Using Nodebundle > ArrayGem > Scale Array (thanks, Karsten & Michael!), I was able to produce a Phyllotaxis-like Succulent. Rendered in Keyshot.

At some point, I hope to manipulate the points in 3D (versus 2d point pattern > flow), so they space correctly over a surface as described in the Mathematica article http://blog.wolfram.com/2011/07/28/how-i-made-wine-glasses-from-sunflowers/.
