Hi Karsten,
your faster than Usain Bolt.
Many thanks

One of these days, an updated set of extension nodes, which can be found:-), would be nice.
I'm still doing some very minor "tweeking" on a few nodes...

Hi All,

I've done a psy-code-lic little gyro to trip out to.
(with extra degree of freedom to anim below)

Haves a great weekend

Hello James,

That's a really cool effect, with only a few nodes - more or less. Good to see you are back!

Have a nice day
Karsten

What I really need is a heated mouse, or a heated mouse box :-)
Maybe a mini heat pad...
- Brian

Maybe the Gyro node could be modified to take as input "Get by Style" node, or similar node?

Does it possible to make this sort of thing with Elephant ?

A bridge between 2 faces with a sort of variable adaptaion?
(and of course if the 2 faces are different that will be a must! !)

Hello Pilou,
no it's not possible. I've started some subD nodes in the past, but they are all outdated and dosen't work at the moment.
Furthermore the node Editor has not the Level of interaction like such a software.
Have a nice day
Karsten

THX for the efforts! ;)

Hello,
a few beginner's questions:
- is there a node bundle that works with latest beta, of February 26. Exactly, I'd like to get fillets. During this weekend I've tried to combine the code of node editor v.1.0.rc3.2018.03.09 which works nicely, together with code from construct2.js files downloaded from this thread, however only with limited success, MoI 4 beta is complaining about minimum fillet radius, sub-object naming node is missing. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, here.
- is it possible to have a node, able to import something directly from hard disk, like 3dm file or new subd from obj file into MoI. If so, we'll have a sort of usable referencing system.
- any plans for commercial version of these nodes - once such system will be enabled to work smoothly, I'd believe it will be able to dramatically improve the strength of MoI.

Hi anto,
It may be helpful if you are able to post your .nod program, so that someone proficient may see the areas of concern.

I have not seen much activity in the nodeeditor arena the past few months, what with vacations, the season, and other interests.
But Max did make some much appreciated improvements, a short time ago!

The Objects/ Get-by-style node enables the entry of a .3dm file that is already in MoI, into nodeeditor, by color-style. Set the objects color-style to a unique color,
then open the .nod with the node.
There is also Objects/ Get-by-name.

I do not know how to script, or if it is possible to script, importing and exporting in a node. (???)

Sub-object naming node?

- Brian

Honestly I don't have any usable node tree, yet. I'm just looking for a way to get fillets into node editor in MOI 4, as they are definitively not present into ''official'' version, I suppose that is v.1.0.rc3.2018.03.09 . The rest of node editor is looking really easy to understand for anyone who already played with similar solutions, don't see general problems. I hope I'll find a way for these fillets, eventually.
Thank you for answer!

Hello Anto,

here are my last extensions for NE. Put all the files directly under extensions - don't forget the basicfunction file in the libs directory. Fillet is difficult in NE. If you want to fillet a BRep use BrepNameSubObjects from Objects2 and wire it. Run the NE and the Brep will be displayed. Select the edges you want to fillet and use fillet from construct2. Construct2 stores the names given by BrepNameSubObjects. Wire the node. Switch of the visibility in BrepNameSubObjects. Example in the attachment.

@all: New nodes are in vector, objects2, construct2, ponts2, infonodes, curves2

Have a nice day
Karsten

Thank you Karsten for this update.
Please consider the attached modification of objects:separate, which will pass on to the output objects which are not separable.

I needed such objects to be passed on, for mapping.

Or maybe have two modes? Or a second version"

Hello Brian,

I've added the node to objects2. And replaced the attachement extensions.zip in the previous email.

@all: I've placed an old version of the R2D3.js in the previous attachement and forgot the stream.js file. Now I hope everything is up to date.

Sorry for that.
Karsten

p.s.: A good moment to place your Torus node here;-)

Hello Karsten,

Thank you for new extensions.
I notice that your version of Flip is relegated to Curves2 menu,
however the functionality also applies to faces, as seen here:

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1204

Having said that, I think for the time being it is an acceptable home for the node,
but ideally this node should IMHO be folded into a general "Flip" node, together with Marco's "ArrayFlipper", as well as function for flipping num arrays.

With a view to this, I submit here, for your consideration: "FlipNumArray".

I have posted this before, albeit with a different name "arrayRev"
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1248

Below is an image of its use, which is simply to reverse the order of a num array.

I have also included an "ArraySort" node for sorting num arrays into ascending order,
which may have some application with managing data flows.



Please find attached your arraayExt.js with inclusion of 2 new nodes

PS I wonder if there would be value in initiating a new menu heading: "General"

Within in this category could go all the multiMode nodes
(those that have separate functions for numArrays, ptArrays, curves & surfaces etc).

Apart from a multimode "Flip" node; another example a node that would be at home
in a "General" menu would be a proposed "Extract2" node that would have, at once,
the functionality of Max's "Extract" node with "Numbers" & "Points" modes in addition
to 2 further modes: "ExtractPts" & "ExtractEdges"

Your thoughts?

Hello Karsten,

I would also like to submit for your consideration another node: "Extend".
Again this is a node that I have already posted:

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1258

However previously I had it in the Construct2 menu but now IMHO, it would be more logically placed in the curves2 menu. Here is an anime of it in use:


Attached is Curves2.js with Extend node included, and nod file for testing.
