FYI wovenTorus.nod file now uploaded to previous post


Hi Pilou,
Yes, I know it: topMod is a kooky & fun little program.
I lost many hours to it some time back.
Great for free play, not so much for realisation of intention.

When I get a chance, I will open it up and have a play.

Thanks for the reminder
James

Hi Friends
I want to share these two new Macro
M_Helix and M-mradiiTube
I think they are two utilities that may serve
to users.
I know that there is already a Helix node, but
in my Macro I think many more parameters are inserted
like Draft, Direction, Clockwise etc etc
that make this tool more flexible ......;
the second is a simply Pipe with the posibility
to insert variable thickness (internal cable)
Those interested find the file at this link :

Good work everyone

Hi Sppedy
I have a script error when i want to load it.
See screenshot
+

Hi Finema,
I can not understand why it gives you error ..
(I do not understand anything about scripts) I can only tell you
that works perfectly to me ...
Maybe inside one of the two macros there are
nodes that are highlighted in red ?????
I do not know what else to say to you, we are hoping to help
other user .. Karsten James Marco ...
best

UPDATED: Solved as a Macro

Hi Karsten

I hope this post finds you sitting back and enjoying the world cup.

I thought I may plant a seed to germinate in your subconscious,
while your conscious mind is wholly captivated by "the Beautiful Game".

It something that I have raised before: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.533

Since your ReMap2 node (Numbers Option) performs the same function as Max's Interp node in Linear mode; it may be worthwhile to give your node a new function.

Grasshopper (which I have not used myself, but have watched youTube videos) has a node called ReMap that will take an array and remap it between a new range.

When you have a chance, please have a look

James

Hello James,

>>>>>Since your ReMap2 node (Numbers Option) performs the same function as Max's Interp node in Linear mode; it may be worthwhile to give your node a new function.

Ehm -no. It's more like the other Options - but with different mathematic behind. It looks like a linear Interpolation for an array with constant steps, because it leads mathematical to the same result.

Have a nice day

Hi Finema
No reply....!!!
Were you able to run the file ..
I hope so
alberto

no
script error at run
sorry

Hello Finema,

please try to store the file to another Folder/directory - maybe there is a Problem with the path or the Name of file.
Please Show us the file-path.
Which OS and MoI-Version you are using?

Karsten

Hello Al,
can you please post the *.nod file to the forum?

Thanks in advance!
Karsten

Vasarely revival! :)

Good Morning James
Congratulations , you got the target
cool node, very useful
have a nice day
al

Ps-Peeking on Grasshopper you'll see that there
are, many other nodes to be able to create
or adapt with macro, good work

Hello Finema and Friends
Sorry, I double checked and inside the folder
the nod file was missing
now everything is OK, at least I hope

sorry again

yes, it's great :)

Hi Friends
this macro M-HelixfromRef.Curve , completes the Helix tool,
taking a cue from Catia, where this utility is Default,
I thought it could be a great help for the Users to have this tool.
Starting from a reference curve, lying on the plane
xz, with starting point on the x-axis of any height and shape ,
the macro returns the helix whose limit is the curve
of reference...
In the posted example there are some Ref.Curves, just enough
give run
how many interested people find the file at this link:

Hi All,

Here is an exercise, showing localised distortion of point array from a point at the origin.

James

Good morning James
your distorsion node is a Gift ...
mathematically very inspired.....
beautiful in its essence .....
Compliments
Have a nice day my friend
al

Hi Al,

Thanks for the compliment, but to be honest I could do with your help.
I have been trying to introduce multiply points for repulsion, without success.

Although my method worked well for my intents, it is not extendable
(at least, not as far as I can see).

If you are looking for a project, perhaps you could turn your masterful skill toward this.

James

Hello James and Friends
I took your words to the letter, I did some small manipulation
to your node and I used the Wire as a starting point to sketch this
Construction ... a pretty original Dome I would say ....
James , your Remap macro , will be very useful -
