Yes Pilou,

You're right, similar result achieved simply with Max's plugins,
or could alternatively, with SpherePts node in NE.

However, the point of the exercise was to use a spherized cube as the base surface.
Perhaps this one illustrate it better

Enjoy your weekend,
James



UPDATED:

revised nod file containing quadSphere macro (in red) that may be useful for other applications.

OK...sorry if I'm repeating myself but...this is really AWESOME!!!

Hi Alberto,

thanks a lot for your Islamic Pattern node, much appreciated!

While i do currently have not much time for 3D i will use your
node, for sure, in the future.

Regards
Stefan

Hi Alberto and all,

today i have a bit time and i like to try out the Islamic Pattern, but i am not sure
how to do that... So, what steps are needed for creating such a pattern on a sphere?

Regards
Stefan

A simple Projection ?

Hi Pilou,

i don't know..., when creating a sphere like you did and with a pattern,
i select those and in node editor the run button is greyed out, after
loading the node file... :-(

I have the latest node editor version installed, in MoI v3.1.

Regards
Stefan

@Stefan
Sorry I have not seen you want make that with Node Editor!

Hi Pilou,

no problem, i wanted to try out Alberto's Islamic node pattern.

Hi Stefan
thanks for the appreciation, I only read your messages now ...
if you want to see the method used, better than many words
you just have to follow step by step what you did in the file
of which I have attached the Link
have a nice day
alberto

Hi Alberto,

thanks, i will take a closer look at your node file again.

Regards
Stefan

Hi Alberto and all,

i must admit that i am pretty pi#%ed. I looked again, but i normally not
use Node Editor, so i am new to it's usage. I expected more clear instructions
from the community, i must admit.

After loading your node file why are the run button etc. is greyed out?
Do i have to load geometry in MoI and then connect it, or what?

If i don't get clear newbie instructions i send this Node Editor to /dev/null, for sure!

P.S. I am not asking Michael for help! He has better things to do! ;-)

Regards
Stefan

I am affraid that you must have some files installed before use Elephant Node Editor! ;)
Generally i ask to put all the folder Nodeeditor because there are several versions for be sure to use the .nod posted! ;) ....

After this done...

Maybe you must try some easy things for understand how all that works! :)

Take a look here for a very simple and detailed example (in French - I don't remember if I made the same in English)

Ps Alas i have no time for this special sport for the moment... :(

Hi Pilou,

thank you for your help, much appreciated!

The problem is i have played in the past with Node Editor
and it worked. Now with the Islamic Pattern node the run
button is greyed out and i don't understand why. So it seems
not many people using it and trying out the examples, provided
by community members...

Stefan
