Hello James,

At the Moment I don't work on nodes. I've already written a Network node, but it's very unstable caused by the orientation of the Input curves. I didn't figured out how the Standard function solves this Problem. It's the same Problem like the radius factory.
For the form finding I figured out the stability Problem, but it will take some time to solve it. The code is quick and dirty and the biggest issue was the meshing. Maybe I have to rewrite alot of things in it. I'm not a Software developer and in the past sometimes I used C/C++ for short programms. With this Background JavaScript is sometimes a mystery for me.

Have a nice day
Karsten

p.s.:And I have still some private Problems.

As you can see there is no intersection of the material itself! :)

here with 2 grides surfaces intersection but that will be the same with volumes!

Hi Pilou,

<<This structure has it's mesh truly intersected ?>>

The grids do not intersect, it is just a pattern mapped to surface of the solid.
If you run the .nod file, you'll see that any appearance of intersection is an
optical illusion in portraying 3d model in 2d image.

Does this make sense?
James

Yes perfectly! :)

Hi James!

Thanks a lot for this amazing node !!

Had some fun with it...

(the 3dm file is pretty big...almost 80MB)

The picture is from a Moi screen export at 3x the original screen size and retouched in Affinity Photo, then scaled down.





Ciao!

Marco (mkdm)

WOW! Marco,

Your graphic is beautiful!
Did you apply subD & shell prior to export to Affinity?

Thanks for sharing
ciao

Hi Pilou,

Thank you for the link:
http://www.savoir-sans-frontieres.com/JPP/telechargeables/free_downloads_transit.htm

At first I did not pay the website any regard, because the layout/design is so appalling.
However I did return to it & am glad I did.

It is a wonderful resource, and right up my alley.
My favourite topics delivered for easy consumption (comic form) for the lazy geek.

Thanks again
James

Hi James!

@You : "...Did you apply subD & shell prior to export to Affinity?..."

Oh yeah James!

It took a consistent amount of time to compute on my i7-7700K and I almost get Moi blown up reaching up to 3.5 GB of used memory !!!

:) LOL !

Ciao!

Hi Friends ,
this is an exploration of the various surfaces
Topologically related to that of the Taurus-
I think the Height Torus and some variations are
very interesting
how many interested in the subject find the file available
at this link;

Good in-depth
Have a nice day to all
best

Ciao Alberto.

What a wanderful node!!

You rock!!!

I would really like to have your math skill :)

But...unfortunately this wasn't my area of expertise... :(

Thanks!

ASAP I will make some CG elaboration with your node...

Ciao.

Hello,

would someone post Al's last nodefile - Mediafire isn't working for me at the Moment.

Thanks in advance!
Karsten

Hi Karsten.

Here is the file : http://take.ms/kAx7x

It is a modified version of the node based on your indications found in "Deviations.xls" that you posted of some days ago.

It works for me.

Ciao!

Hi All,
I don't know if I'm reinventing the wheel (it can probably be done with the existing nodes)
but I have managed to coded a simple Key Frames node to use for animation.
It as the following features.
1) Inputs: Time, action start and action end.
2) Output: Count and action length.
I'm new to javascript so if someone cares to have a look over it and tell where it can be improved
that would be great.
Many Thanks
Barry

Hello Friends
this my fifth Macro
- Bezier Curves by an open or closed polyline-
it is a great flexibility tool, and I also hope for usefulness
in the drawing

Input:
Open or closed polyline
Output:
Bezier Curve

the file is at this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/a6cq469wyhkaq1x/M_-Bezier_Curve_from__Polyline.rar
Have a nice day to all
... (for my friend Marco, thank you for your appreciation )

Hello Barry,

Looks great. For the Keyframes-Node the mode:[ "Long",...] isn't used and not necessary. So you can remove that. It is only useful with multiprocessing.
If you want to make film sequences you can also use the camera node. It makes single Pictures from each step. After that you can join them together with ffmpeg or mencoder(command line).

Have a nice day
Karsten

---

Hi Karsten,
thanks will try the camera as you suggested.
Barry

---

p.s.: You can also use ImageJ to convert the pngs to an avi. For that use Import->Image Sequence , Then save as avi:-) For a not moving camera you have to Trigger the node with a constant value from the quartz node eg. a math node that gives allways a constant. Choose a path and Directory e.g D:\test\ for Windows systems.

---

Hi Karsten,
can you explain or post a simple nod file showing how to use the camera.
Also is it possible to do a fly thro with it.
Thanks
Barry

---

Hello Barry,

test the attached node file. Switch to 3D-Viewport and press run. Now stop. Double click the camera node. Insert a valid file path. And switch save to On. Press Run. Now every position of the camera will make a single screen shot. Starting with the start index up to Frames number.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
thanks for the camera nod file looks like I will have plenty of options for recording
animations with added camera movements to give walk thro and around.
So again many thanks for your help much appreciated.
Barry
