Hi Pilou,

> If i make Trandform array /Curve with a point along a
> curve I give direction i want ? ;)

Well, remember I'm talking about doing the array as part of a script and not using it in the regular way.

But maybe the built in orientation in array curve will work ok for that anyway.

Maybe it won't be quite as difficult as what I thought, I'll give it a try later.


But if you want to make more kinds of crazy automated constructions, it becomes difficult for me to make special tools for each one of these myself, you probably need to learn scripting or learn to use Grasshopper if you want to make a lot of this kind of stuff.

< you probably need to learn scripting
Sure :) I am thinking of "Processing" http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl
Seems perfect for that and very versatile ;)
see this guy ;)
http://www.complexification.net/

Just that this function above is maybe pertinent or not for MOI : that is the question :)
As there is not yet "deformer", that is an easy way to simulate them

Hi Pilou,

No, if I remember right Processing is for controlling what is drawn in a "canvas" element in a web browser, mostly with 2d drawing commands.

It's for generating an image result, not for controlling another program.

But you could definitely have a lot of fun with it!

Hi Pilou, try the attached plugin LineWeb.zip .

To install it, unzip and copy the 2 files into the \commands subfolder inside of MoI v2's main installation folder.

Then to launch it you can either type in <tab>lineweb<enter> or go to Options > Shortcut keys and set up a new shortcut key with LineWeb as the command name.

It will take a sequence of curves, if you have more than 2 click on them to select them in the order you want them connected. Then it produces stuff like this:






There is a point count option that you can adjust for how many connection points you want.

To get the kind of thing you were wanting, you would run it twice - first with 2 lines like this:





Then select just the outermost 2 lines that were just created and run it again:



Note that when you run it the second time, there will be some lines created right over top of the very original 2 lines so there will be duplicates there, you may want to delete those original lines after doing the first run through.

Hope this helps!


EDIT: Uploaded new LineWeb.zip, this updated version now has an option to build either lines, polylines, a smooth curve, or point objects.

EDIT2: Uploaded another new LineWeb.zip, this one now has a closed option to make a closed ring of lines or a closed curve.

Oh, and if you get things connecting reversed like this:



then select just one of those original lines and run the Flip command on it, that should fix it after that.

Hi Pilou, I'm glad that works - cool idea with lines + extrude + shell! :)

Sounds like time for a new monitor?

Yes I have it one but with less resolution
No problem, I make only miniatures :)

You have also funny results if you take in the same time all the sides curve!

Autoreflexivity with the same form at 90°
And then Transform /Circular



Anothing thing: take the same 2 curves after the LineWeb
Make a Loft
Trim all
Select some faces Make some extrude
and you will obtain some volumes :)
