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!

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

Hi Karsten,

I made a submission to Pattern on a sphere post: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9014.58
which was done mostly in NE. However it was necessary to break the chain at the SubD classic operation.

If you are looking for a little project; would it be possible to include this functionality in your SubD node?

All the best
James

Hello everyone
Those interested can find this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2so5x76vta3bjg7/M_EXP.POLYHEDRON.zip/file
files and images related to M_Exp.Polyhedron.
I think it is a utility that can be exploited well
in the future by all users
Have a nice day to all

To the Node Masters - how feasible would a node with this function be?

Hi,
can anybody explain why I am getting the result shown in the photo.
I have created a helix and then trimmed it into sections using the points that generated it.
I want to use the curve start frame to position my required profiles along the helix and rotate them about the frames.
The frames are not orientated the same ie: the axis's point in different directions.
Is there away to orientate them ?

Barry

Hi Barry,

Without having your nod file, I can't be sure what is going on.

However I think the issue is, that the points that generated the curve
are not oriented to the curve.

It is necessary to rebuild point array with mPathArray along curve.
See attached

Hope this helps
James

Hi James,
thanks I will give it a try.
Cheers

Hi Barry,

I have been experimenting with line attractors manipulating tiles in 3d space
as opposed to on 2d grid prior to flow.

Also rather than standard quad tiling, I have used triangular facets
which have the advantage of always being planar.

As a test I have been working with your "Network CurvesReworked.3dm"
Tile affect is relative to distance to closest point on green line (shown)
See result attached.
