Dear Karsten

Thank you so much for your generous time in helping me learn more about Nodebundle and for the well-described .nod file. I appreciate your help, especially given I am new around here!

Thank you, Michael, for your note, thanks for making all this possible

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Christian

I wanted to share a little update, I have been playing with the file Karsten kindly created all afternoon, and found that I was able to begin adjusting the Z-coordinates on a hemisphere. I hope to eventually space the points successfully to a sphere, or other surfaces.

Exactly! That's exactly right: Flow to Surface!

To add sliders - or input values into a box would be ideal - what that would do is take Moi3d to a whole new level of parametric - terrazzo modeling which is piss-poor in Rhino!

There are other tools e.g., Armadillo & parametric tools, however they aren't nearly as intuitive as Moi's NODE functionality.

I'm looking into the adding a webinar functionality to this 'Behive Forum' which is without live video broadcast capabilities - sadly.

If possible I may setup a live cam forum for brainstorming & sharing scripts, shortcut keys & nodes, as well as cool tips & tricks within - is this something that the inmates of this auxiliary lunatic asylum would be interested in - participating?

Perhaps, with those added tools increasing the functionality of the foundation Michael has built, together we could add-on creative branches which would take Moi3d in a direction which would carve out a soft 'pattern parametric array glow in surface terrazzo' object - that compliments hard edged CAD.

I may be off topic - if so - I'll begin a new post on this subject: webinars
Cheers，

Hi Friends
It was a long time that I wanted
ask,
I take this opportunity with the post of
Christian ....
It would be nice to have a Voronoi Node
am looking forward to
Have a nice day to all

Hi Friends
The Elephant goes on.......
I want to share with you
some tests on creating connections
using the tool Subd-

A quick follow-up to my previous post.

Using Nodebundle > ArrayGem > Scale Array (thanks, Karsten & Michael!), I was able to produce a Phyllotaxis-like Succulent. Rendered in Keyshot.

At some point, I hope to manipulate the points in 3D (versus 2d point pattern > flow), so they space correctly over a surface as described in the Mathematica article http://blog.wolfram.com/2011/07/28/how-i-made-wine-glasses-from-sunflowers/.

Wonderful rendering Christian !!!

My compliments !!

Nice shot Cristian
and nice render....
Could you share with us the nod. file of your creation?
Phyllotaxis is a subject that fascinates me greatly
have a nice day

Appetizing vegetal!

Thanks very much!

Please see attached .nod, which simply adds the z-Coord's to Karstens original version.

I used ArrayGem to duplicate the leaf to each point, then ScaleArray to gradually increase the size of leaf.

Is it possible a clip how to exactly download, install & make this double-reverse helix?
I also would like to know if there is a repository where all, or most of the nodes are available.
I've got my Moi3d modded supremely with commands, scripts, shortcuts & lighting options, not to mention tricked-out the GUI & ICONS, therefore I'm not keen on destroying the beautiful setup I have now. Nevertheless, I'm looking at finding a means to download, install & build what I see nodes are capable of creating - I just don't want to guess at what to download - install - and how to configure.

I find that the general inmate population here wish to prevent Moi3d from becoming super charged, (too) populated with many sweet scripts, shortcuts, nodes, lighting options, interface skins & icons, however isn't there a way to present an install option where one could ENABLE / DISABLE add-ons during installation for those of us who would like those gems?

Why not have a questionnaire - survey ha-ha!

It's interesting understanding how 3d Coat compliments Moi3d, and how it compares to Rocket 3f.

I'm hardcore Rhino 5 & T-Splines - and trying to beef up Moi3d in order to give me every possible advantage as far as the add-ons here. The downside is that it requires a month of reading forum posts in order to
ferret out the latest & greatest complimentary tools which this pool of genius's conjure up!
Cheers

It looks great Christian!

Hello Cristian
thanks for your file sharing;
Excuse me, but I thought the whole building
It had been carried out using only
Elephant " feature"
thanks again and have a nice day

Phylloz works with "Classic" Elephant or "Modified" ? ;)

Hi Friends
another exercise about building
a mathematical snail

Hi Friends
Some transformation test and Morph on Surfaces
using isocurves which shows instability in maintaining
the name chosen-
So if you launched the file the result will look different from the one
which you can see in the attached images ,
you have to set the right edges in tool Isocurve -
The second file Morph 3 , and skied with only the result Polygon
because despite many efforts to apply Sub I could not
It closes the program-
Maybe it depends on the power of my computer
Have a nice day to all

Hi Friends
I want to share with us
this task :
an Helicoidal Staircase -
I hope it can help any of
you, as a start.......

Hi Pilou
What show in the video, in a future ,
not too far , I think we can succeed
to do even with Elephant-
The important thing is that Max and Companions
implement a " Cluster Node "
as in Grasshopper , which allows to group
a series of operations , made with traditional nodes
they accept as various inputs (Slider)
those delegates to make the changes.....
for instance......
Scale, n ° pt, etc etc-
The Cluster will have as output the result
of all the manipulations carried out
through inputs into Entrance-
Grasshopper did you implement this system
from long ago
and I must say it works perfectly-
So we hope that Max & Co
create something similar, maybe improving it
We just have to hope-

Hello Friends
I want to share with you, this......https://vimeo.com/66227736
I saw this video,very interesting, about the construction
Scenic for Dance, curated by architect, Calatrava
I rebuilt everything with Moi-Eleph-
I redid the same exercise with GH
aside the fewest number of nodes and the different
handling the result is the same-
I believe that the current level achieved despite
many improvements is remarkable.
Thanks again to Max, and others
are contributing to the improvement
of this fantastic tool-
