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

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

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!

cool ! thanks

a test of this node with a keyshot render

Beautiful render! Thanks

Very very nice!

HelloFriends
The Hot air Balloon It is one of those objects that has always been
fascinated me, years ago, I also realized
drawings and engravings that had this subject-
I was trying to create a pattern in a sphere , when
I understood that I had laid the foundation for building
anything but .... a Hot air Balloon ...
As you will see, in fact, opening the file the object is positioned upside down,
from below to above ...
Patience, I left it just to remember
in the future, this little quirk, and, on the other hand, I had
already brought the modeling forward enough, and rotate
everything would have been, in my opinion, a useless and pedantic work-
The resulting object is a true explosion of colors ....
hope that you will communicate enjoy and freedom ...
In any case, as I have already said, I can not
to publish directly in the Forum images and files ...
so, if any of you could do it for me
I would be grateful ...
for the benefit of all useres-
Welcome your comments
