Hi Brian,
thanks for the pointers got the screws to rotate ok.
Reversed the direction by starting the LH Screw at max revolution and subtracting the slider position.
Ie: Rh Screw starts at Min and LH Screw starts at Max.
Going to try and add the bottle movement in and if possible to check for interference as Karsten did
with the motor node.
Again thanks
Barry

Hi,
I am using node editor v0.93 and cannot find the quartz clock/timer/oscillator node that Brian mentioned in a previous post.
Can someone point me where to get it and how to install it plus how to use it instead of a slider to animate my Screw model.
Thanks
Barry

Hi Barry.
under the subdirectory "nodes," Quartz is inside the basic.js file. It is commented out.
Just remove all but the first //.
I do not know why Max has not activated it.
Output is a "numarray."
Maybe there is supposed to be some input to it that was not completed. (this.addInput("Hz","numarray");)
Maybe Quartz node can feed a second Quartz node? Have to try it...

Quartz may be from the original source of nodes (?)

Default Quartz runs from zero to 359, which yields 360 degrees, which may be a full circle rotation...

Quartz has 2 modes.
Cycled mode runs from e.g 0 degrees to 359 degrees, then starts over at 0.
Tictac mode gets to the end of the count, then runs backwards to the begin count, e.g.zero

- Brian
I think of it as an electronic quartz crystal oscillator, or a clock, etc.

Hello Friends
I want to share with you
this research done, to draw curves
Math(Roulette Curve) ,
I have used Vector to represent
"Locus "of the points
which then turn into curves ...
I also attached a variant in 3d
very interesting, at least I hope....
For those interested this is the link:https://www.mediafire.com/?l58wc87s75uw6j6
Good in-depth
best

Hello Al,

thanks for sharing - very interesting - the Vectors looks great!



A look to the curvature also says perfect:-)


Have a nice day
Karsten

Remember the Line Web! ;)

Hello Pilou,

I do not understand what I should remember!?

Line Web is possible since Max has made pointarrays and I made patharrays. You have tested it already.
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.330
The example makes nothing else then:

http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.163
or in a more complicated way:

For the inspiration I had please google: helix bridge singapore

Or do you think that we have to have a line web node?
Have a nice day and please let me know

Karsten

<< Or do you think that we have to have a line web node?

Will be perfect because it's a tricky thing for make easily some regulate surfaces!

Hhhmm!
That's all!?!

I will try that! :)

Just about indepth of the beast of a node...(just by curiosity because i will never code that)
You must re-create all the function or you recall an existing function (here Line Web) somewhere ?

Else for a Node Line Web itself
- Nbs point by curves
- Nbs of curves
- Variation of curves (distort curves)
another infinite variations! :)

Ps Can you post your node because I don't obtain the same! :(
(or maybe i don't make the good process ?

Hello Pilou
You have to set-up "cross " in the node preferences,
(mpath array )

@Al
Ahhh yes! Some indispensable hidden things! Bravo!
(Now Lineweb native is more simple! ;)
But as soon as more nodes will added that will be rocking!

Maybe the Info window must be open as soon has a new node is created!

Hello Friends
an experimental test of a sphere tasselation

Have a nice day to all

Al et al,

I have had no opportunity to play with node editor for the last couple of months,
but this weekend I teased apart your Spir-Curve nod to comprehend your method.

After researching roulette curves, I started from scratch to produce this very simple scheme (no trig) based on your method for Trochoid curves.

It can also create Epicycloids by flipping the vectors
(i.e. multiplying by -1 bottom most node)

Now I am going to try and get my head around your geodesic nod.
It looks amazing!

Have a great weekend

James

Hi,
I'm running an animation with the node editor and was wanting to hide edges.
I've tried hiding them prior to running the animation but this does not work.
Is it possible to have a node to hide them ?
Barry

Hi Barry.

The code which loads the .3dm object is located here:
Under Node/Objects/Get by name

Perhaps a line could be added there. I do not know how:-(
The following code did not work:
// TEST edge hidden code (BAD)
this.inputobjects.edges.setProperty('hidden', true);
// End Test Code

Hi,
I have been able to produce animations of the bottle feed screw with a constant pitch helix
and also a variable pitch helix but I would like to be able to produce a screw that as a mixture of both
i.e: start constant pitch then variable pitch exit constant pitch.
So my total movement is X = A + B + C
If I have a slider for X how can I switch to the various move profiles without have separate sliders ?
Any ideas .
Barry

Hello James
welcome back
I like to feel you.....
Well done , Trochoid .nod , turns out
Clear and Nice definition
Good Work my friend
