Ciao Marco
in Grasshopper riesco a tirar fuori molto di più ,
ma il merito è del programma... non mio-
Ci sono una quantità di strumenti disponibili di default nel programma
che fa spavento...
inoltre , ci sono tutta una serie di plug , realizzate gratuitamente da terzi
"amatori" , dedicate ai piu svariati ambiti, prima tra tutte Kangaroo , Wb Mesh,etc. etc
e tante altre
Vale la pena che tu dia un occhiata alle potenzialità del programma
credimi , ne vale la pena-
Però , c'e anche da dire che Elephant , per alcuni aspetti ,
e secondo me innovativo , sopratutto per quanto riguarda il funzionamento
di alcuni Nodi , Math Point , SubD ad esempio con il trattamento delle
Poly Surf come fossero Mesh, etc etc
Tutto merito del Geniale Max-
Ti ringrazio per le belle parole , e ti esorto comunque a scoprire al più presto anche Grasshopper
Buona Giornata

Hello Marco
In Grasshopper I can get out a lot more,
But the merit is the program ... not mine
There are a number of tools available by default from the program
Scary ...
Moreover, there are a whole number of plugs, made free of charge by third parties
"Amateurs", dedicated to the most varied areas, first of all Kangaroo, Wb Mesh, etc. etc
And many more
It is worthy to give a hint to the potential of the program
Believe me, it's worth it-
However, there is also to be said that Elephant in some respects
And in my opinion innovative in terms of operation
Some Nodes, Math Point, subD for example and the treatment of
Poly surf as if they were meshes, etc. etc
All the credit to the Max's Genius-
I thank you, and exhort you to discover Grasshopper
Have a nice day

Grazie AL.
Cercheró di tornare a dare un'occhiata prima o poi anche a Grasshopper (Ho Rhino da 5 anni e da circa due lo apro solo per scaricare gli update della WIP 6 :)

Buona giornata.

Hyperbolic functions, such as sinh and cosh, do not seem to available in nodeeditor v .93.
Are they likely to be available in the future or does the litegraph library not support them?
Mike.

Hi Mike,

Try:

cosh(u) = ( exp(u) + exp(-u) ) /2

sinh(u) = ( exp(u) - exp(-u) ) / 2

Brian

Thanks, Brian.
Of course - it worked!
Nice work around.
Mike.

Hyperbolic Helicoid. HyperbolicHelicoid

Thanks to Brian's formulaic equivalents to sinh and cosh I've got this working.
HyperbolicHelicoid.nod produces a surface which is easily converted into a solid by executing Construct/Offset/Shell using Thickness 0.01mm (for default .nod values) and Direction: Normal

Cool: with image + Nod we can decide if yes or no we want load the tool! ;)

Maybe useful for pasta makers ?

Hi All - trying to get this node to work but cant realised I am still running node editor 0.91 not 0.93 have searched this thread for update but cant find it - if someone could point me to the latest build would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
alex

Alex, as far as I can tell this is the latest from Max. It's what I'm using. http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7713.596
Mike.

Hello Alex,

for me it Looks like that a modified Version is used by Mike. ScaleUVW and Concat2 are no standard nodes. So please try the Version from here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8197.7

Have a nice day
Karsten
p.s.: Most of the stuff here needs a modified or better a Version with extensions:-)

Karsten,

Slightly puzzled by your post as your link leads to nodeeditor.v.0.93.2017.03.09mod.zip Note the 'mod'
and my post leads to v.0.93.2017.03.09.zip - no 'mod'

Also, my shortcut key in MoI, F9, executes this command: moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor.v.0.93.2017.03.09/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

Am I missing something?

Mike.

Hello Mike,

everything is fine, If you have collected all the puzzle parts. Only from time to time I share the complete collection, for those who want to start from scratch.
The modifications are not really modifications to Maxs Versions - there are only additional nodes. So you can replace, add or delete files in the extensions Folder without an effect to the base Version from Max. So if you think something is missing, you can also add or replace single files and restart.

Have a nice day
Karsten
p.s.: You can recognize the modified Versions by the colored Cursor in the nodeeditor (yellow or blue)

Note that Max added the "extensions" subdirectory for noncore/nonstandard nodes.js.
Under ui/nodeeditor93/nodes/extensions, place non-Max (some_new_node.js) nodes.

- Brian

The nodeeditor93mod name indicates that modifications have been made.
The yellow cursor is nice. I tinkered with colors, or should I say less darkness:-)

Thanks, Karsten, that make things clearer.
Mike.

Thank, Brian.

It's starting to make sense to me.

Thanks also for the 'less dark' tips which I have implemented.
Much easier on the eyes when zoomed in.

Mike.

Thanks for that 0.93 mod has me up and running as this thread is so BIG maybe start NODEBUNDLE thread just for software enhancements.
A big thanks to all the developers pushing this along.

Hello,

I've made a twist node:-)
I hope there are no bugs in it - so it would help, when someone would test it.



Have a nice day
Karsten

Snake.
Another from MathMod.
The .nod produces a surface. I converted to a solid using Construct/Offset/Shell with Thickness 0.5mm and Direction: Flip.
