Hi Karsten ,
How are you?
I hope everything is OK-
The new Extension import, just posted , is fine
at least I think, if Barry's goal was to create a Heklix
with variable radius .... thanks for your intervention ...
but I believe that if I post some examples
from which we can better understand how to manage
the points imported ... would be the maximum ..
thanks again , and have a nice day

Hi Karsten,
once again thanks for your help all's working well.
Barry

Hi All
an exercise, using M_Helix and the new M_1Blend,
revised and I believe improved ...

Have a nice day to all

Super AMAZING creation!!!
This is the beauty of math :)

James you're a "math painter"!

P.s. now only a background music is missing!
After that we could use Moi like a DJ in a dance floor :)

Hi,
can someone help I am trying to get the inverse of sine for a calc within the node editor.
Is there away to do this to get the angle in degrees or radians ?
Barry
Got it used asin() function

Hi Karsten,

Your M_PathArray node is extremely useful, however I have a thought of how it may be be made even more powerful.

If the input is a single decimal number < 1 (e.g. 0.6 as shown in attached image)
then a point would be positioned at that percentage of the curve length.

I know that something similar can now be achieve with use 0 & 1 concatenated to either side of the number; but this becomes a problem with multiprocessing multiple curves with input numarray parametrically determined by say proximity to attractor point.

Hopefully, this makes sense.
Thanks
James

Hi James, I agree with you, it would be extremely useful to be able to use
a single decimal or a decimal progression,
leaving out the concatenate with the No. 1
I hope Karsten can improve
the functionality of this Node, I do not think it's too difficult for him ...
at least I hope.....
Have a nice day

Hi All,

Another experiment with performative screening.

James

WOW!!! Wonderful!

Hi All,
created this nod after reading this thread http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8986.1
Having originally done the calcs on a spreadsheet I wanted to see if it could all be done with the node editor and it's
a good way for me to learn how some of the nodes work ( still lot to learn )
I have been working on 2 options the first being the one posted which adds the helix to a core this gives the slot bottom a curved shape.
Option 2 which subtracts the helix to get the slot thus the slot bottom will be flat more like it would be machined.
Cheers
Barry

Hi All,

GEMERATOR: A fun little macro utility

Have a great weekend!
James

cool ! thanks

a test of this node with a keyshot render

Beautiful render! Thanks

Very very nice!
