Thank you gentleman for your help, Bemfarmer youre amazing !

Thanks Tom. The scripts are mainly cut and paste, based upon Michaels scripts, and study of them.

Attached is an update, adding spherical sine wave. It was a bit harder, due to imaginary numbers turning up in the spherical formula, due to possible
square root of negative numbers. So there is an alert if amplitude squared is greater than radius squared. Note that negative amplitude is possible, resulting in "phase shifts." The solution is cobbled together. Maybe there is a better way. The .js and .htm in the zip are not labeled 2, so they could overwrite older versions.

Hi Benfarmer , very cool to see you have updated the script - never thought of a circulear sine wave before ... works perfectly !

Im really impressed with the circular sine wave . is there an easy way to create
only a segmented circular sine wave (like 30° / 60° etc), Bemfarmer ?

Create CircularSinWave2
In view Top
PolyLines : you can take any angle in seeing the Bottom task Bar case < angle or input angle by numeric keyboard!
Trim ;)

Seems some speedy! And avoid headache to Bemfarmer! :)

Hi Pilou,
Never intended to create headache to benfarmer ;-) I thought maybe it is only the need
to change a number in the code - for example I changed "8" to "3" in the code of the array command
to generate 3 instead of 8 instances.
Btw what renderer did you use for that nice "sinewave" rendering ?

The funny easy tricky SimLab Composer! (not free: 4$/month hobbyist-student)




and at the end you can use some of these 2 other free ones !

Simlab


then Fotor


and finally Fotosketcher + Fotor

Hi Pilou
nice - where did you get that setup for Simlab?

<< where did you get that setup for Simlab?
for the first image rendered
Just pick Materials from the Gallery of Materials as explained on the video
and apply them on each different part of your model by moving from Material to the piece (selected or not) on the screen!
This can be made even during the rendering itself!

A proposal : an icon of CircularSinWave2 script ( and for the script icons gallery )

Icon Added French Site : http://moiscript.weebly.com/liste-scripts-commandes.html

Hi BEAR17,

That's a similar proposal for the CircularSinWave2 icon,
that imitates the style of the other icons in the package of the thread http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7862.1

Nice night,

Marco.

Hi Marco,

I think my icon is more appropriate :
- More simple it is, the better is
- The script does not allow a tubing of the curve (as suggested by your icon)
- In the scripts gallery, there are many more icons with a representation of orange curve as solid.

Of course, it's only my opinion.

Bear

Hi BEAR17,

in general i also agree to keep things as clear and simple as possible,
but, if you notice in my original icons package, i have drawn some of the icons in
a way that may help to identify a possible use of the resulting curves generated by the various scripts, as i did with the icons for CircularSinWave2 or DupinCyclidesUV.

But, of course, it's only a matter of personal taste.

Nice day,

Marco.

Thank you Pilou, very informative !

Another question regrading the script :

The sine wave always starts at the origin point . is there a way of letting
it start at specific coordinates ?

Nonzero center coordinates could be added. Forcing the user to pick a point every time the script is run might be annoying? Maybe add a "pick center" check box?
Or have entry boxes for x, y, z coordinates, with default (0, 0, 0)?

The 3d orientation could be set up pre-script with cplane?

Hi, I am currently using the script to create "sinewaved" surfaces and tried to create a sinewave
at a specific location by simply picking a point before running the script, but it looks like it always starts
at the origin, just wanted to know if I missed a hidden functionality. What I do now is to move my
object to the origin to "place" the sinewave.

The script would need an update to the formula, adding x,y,z, per the formula in one of the links. Also would need "select center point" point picker code. Neither of these changes is very hard, given lots of study of other scripts. IMHO
