Hi Friends
I want to share this last search
in the field of Special Surfaces, I tried to make a Variation
to Boy's Surface ...
some parts are similar to those next to (polo)
the rest I changed by doing it maybe
more feasible, I think....

Have a great weekend to all
best

Hi All,

Please find .nod file with spaceFrame macro.

It is a requirement for execution that extractEdges node be present.
"object2.js" to replace similar in "nodeeditor/nodes/extensions".
can be found in my earlier post:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.729
Also requires most recent NE mod (Karsten's cleanup menu):

Be warned that generation time may be approx. 20 secs

Hi Friends
I want to share this new one
exercise of Sub Poly Triacontahedron
really interesting I think ......
file to this link:

Have a nice day to all

Ps- James nice result gives you exercise frame

Hi Karsten,
how's everything okay?
... it's been a while since I did not live alive ..
I wanted to ask you , if it was possible to improve the tools
Fillet and Bridge ....
When you created these Extensions, if i 'm not wrong ,there were not
Extraxt and Extract Edge (James's paternity).
Now, I ask you, using the latter, you can not improve and make it
easier the procedure currently in use, which I personally believe
very laborious and unstable time ...
I wait for your new ones
Have a nice day

Hi Alberto,

I was inspired by your node to make simple*
nod file to create pentakis Dodecahedron
derived from solid/polyhedron.nod with Dodecahedron option.

UPDATED:

Super simple method for truncated icosahedron (well almost) included.

James




*It should be simpler. Hopefully we will soon have new info nodes for finding center point of a regular closed curve.

Hi James
I am very happy to be one of your "inspirers" Yeha ...... ,
and , even though I did not open the file, I must tell you that
PentakisPolyhedron is very usefulll for triangular tassellation
of domes or spheres-
For this purpose I send you the Truncated Icosahedron file , to get
a base for classic soccer ball construction
file to this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/pc5les5y6cqp4u3/CP-Truncated_Icosahedron.rar
Nb - the files are about a half ago, I think, February,
I do not know if they had been implemented by Max Polyhedron tools
in any case, in the nod. file there is all the classical construction
of the icosahedron

Have a nice day
alberto

Hello
For the beta V4
I have downloaded the Pentakis... familly nodes inside the last Max Smirnov
November nodeeditor.v.0.97.2017.10.05.zip + New EditorCss + Editor.js

I have "red nodes"

What is the method for make these nodes efficient ?
Does it possible ?
Or I must load a // Elephant (What is its last version ? And it's working in the beta V4)

Thx
So junction between the 2 versions are not yet made!
Must have two Node editors folders specialized under the hood! :)

And that works on the Beta V4 ?

Hum it's not very clear to install! :) (Windows 10 OS )

Does not exist a complete folder ziped "ready to use" ?

@You : "...Does not exist a complete folder ziped "ready to use" ?..."

....It's the million-dollar question!!

:)

Hi Pilou

Unzip attachment and replace "nodeeditor/nodes/extension" folder.
I contains "ExtractEdges" node, so you are good ti go.

<<For the beta V4>>

You will likely encounter error messages attempting to run in V4
It seems that v4 is more stringent in parsing js code.
I could not get "pentakisDodeca&TruncIcosa.nod" to execute.

James

<< Unzip attachment and replace "nodeeditor/nodes/extension" folder.

Perfect for the V3 (for me it's "extentionS" folder ! ;)
So just one folder to name/rename for use the //node editor or return to Max one!
Maybe a day i will translate all English tittles' nodes in French who are not yet made! :)

Alas seems not the same for the Truchet.nod above! I keep the James one above:)
Some nodes stay in "red"! i have made some try with objects.js, objects2.js (must they live bother, kill one, rename one ?...)
but without result!
So a new zip "extensions" package (or more) will be profitable for not lose too much times and headaches for old brain! :)

Hi Pilou

<< Alas seems not the same for the Truchet.nod above!>>

For me "Truchet.nod" works in both v3 & v4 with extensions folder replacements:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.750

Don't worry about "objects2.js", it is already included in extensions folder.

Try downloading "Truchet.nod" again. It is possible it has been updated
since the version you originally downloaded.

It is curious because I have found that most of my NE experiments
will not run in v4. For example my earlier experiment "spaceFrames2.nod"
give this runtime error message:



http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.739
So, we know that none of the nodes used in "Truchet.nod" cause problems
and at least one or more of the culprit nodes is in the macro of "spaceFrames2.nod".

James

UPDATE: I tried pulling nodes out of macro and rebuilding on main tier, to see if
macros themselves were the issue. But no, I still recieved the same error alert.

Hi James

could you send me this nod-file and all files from your extensions folder?

Hi Max,

Please find files attached.
FYI I'm a mac user (10.13.1).

Thanks
James

Hi James,

this error caused by Infos/GetBBoxes BoundingBoxes (infonodes.js)
line 477: bbox.pushPoint(input.item(i).getBoundingBox().center);

You need to set boolean parameter for getBoundingBox() function
change this line to: bbox.pushPoint(input.item(i).getBoundingBox(false).center);

Thanks Max

That has fixed the problem.
I have attached "extension.zip"
with fixed infonodes.js included

Thanks again
James

PS Attempt to run "pentakisDodeca&TruncIcosa.nod" (attached)
gives the error message in red box, however does generate result
albeit with pentakisDodecahedron in default colour rather than red.

Generally, I get the main error alert showing when navigating in
NE interface.

Hope this helps!
