All the guys, you are able to work with NE at such a high and creative level, have my sincere respect!

NE creators have my respect as well of course, I admire their work.

Sorry what should do Corner 's parameter in the Node Rectangle of the Voronoï example above ?
Seems make nothing...
In the Node Voronoï itself works fine but in rectangle... ???

No problem i will be sure i don't miss something! :)

Pilou/James,

In Max's original script, the value of the voronoi corners range from 0 to 100.

Good to know!

Hi All,

Here is a little tip for wire management when working on complex node circuits.

2 macros with inputs connected directly with outputs can be used to channel multiple wires converging into a conduit and diverging at the other end. See below



Obviously, the example above would not need measures to simplify the wiring, but some circuits can become overwhelming, especially if some time has elapsed since working on them.

Have a great weekend

Here is a Macro which combines four Extract nodes.

The Macro may be placed in the nodeeditor Macros folder, for easy Canvas right click selection.
Do not Load the Macro to the screen.

- Brian

ps, Three+ Clone nodes in a Macro create a Clone4 Macro, (or more), so no need for the Clone4 node.

I have been trying to understand the multiProcess command in the Node API.

Max has a detailed explanation of the process in this post:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7713.395

When should it be used and what circumstances?
What could be other uses for the multiProcess?

When dealing with multiple entities?

I will be outputting a pointarray with many circle centers, and numarray with corresponding radii, to one circle (or sphere) node, to display a Doyle spiral.

It's been a while, so here's a post using Wayne's recent node contribution: Objects2/PerlinNoise node to generate a field of wave forms
(wave_Field.nod attached)

James,

Your node design is great. Made a sample on my CNC router.

Wayne

Wayne,

Looks Brilliant!

I was planning to use the design 3dCNC routered into birch ply as doors to a cabinet (sideboard).
I will take this image along to machine shop, as a proof of concept.

Can I post your image on Instagram with link to your instagram page
and a caption stating something to effect of "CNC routing by Wayne Hill"?

Thanks
James

James,

Bonitum.com has some examples. And yes, there was a plywood version going on the machine soon. Saw a desk out there somewhere with mirrored 3d door designs that is great.

Yes, you can reference my Instagram page. I have other images and a short video of it being made on my Instagram page.


Thank you,

Wayne

There seems to be a BUG with Vector in nodeeditor in MoI 4 beta.

After running the attached VectorExamples.nod file in nodeeditor, and clicking on Apply, and clicking on Stop,
the three vectors Cannot be erased from MoI4 screen, even if nodeeditor window is closed.

Clicking Run again, and toggling Clear on an Output node then seems to show 1 instead of 0, and vice versa.

(A test circle node seemed to work fine.)

Hi Brian,

re:
> the three vectors Cannot be erased from MoI4 screen, even if nodeeditor window is closed.

Could be that those objects have their hit testing flag turned off. See here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1595

The fix would be at some step .setHitTest(true) needs to be called on those objects.

- Michael

Thank you Michael.

Rotate, Move or Copy create new copies of the 3 vectors in another area, which are delete-able,
but the original 3 vectors remain, and still cannot be deleted.
It seems like a flag for "keep original objects" is set.

I'll do some more experimenting.

- Brian

Hitting Stop, then Apply, doubles the number of Vectors. The extra set CAN be deleted, but not the original set.
Running the .nod file, then hitting Apply, without hitting stop, then closing nodeeditor, just makes one set of vectors, still not delete-able.

I want to get nodeeditor working (again) in MoI3 and try the vectors there.

VecBy2Pts does the same thing, so probably vector.js is doing or not doing something it should...(?)

Using your Set Hit Test true shortcut key script does not seem to do anything.

The results are the same for nodeeditor in MoI3.

- Brian

Hi Brian, what about if you run this, does it have any effect on those objecst? :

moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().unlockSelection();
