Hi Ralf

Thanks for Camera2 node. Great stuff
I can't wait to see what other things you do.

>> instead of SuDoKu i play with nodes <<

I have some suggestions that may pique your interest for nodes to play with:


1) ExtrudeDir
Ideally this would be a RMB option to Extrude node, but for now can be stand-alone.
The ability to set set start & end points (thereby denoting direction) will solve problem of multiprocess extrudes of multiple curves flowed over a surface, each with unique normal.

2) IsoCurve2
Karsten's IsoCurve node is supremely useful, but it could be improved by the option of including the perimeter curves as well.

3) Fat Lines
This one is pretty self-explanatory; it is simply Max's "Fat Lines" script wrapped in a node.

These are by no means the most needed nodes missing from the toolkit, far from it... just some thoughts

Keep up the great work
James

Thank you James,

yes, this are interesting ideas - thank you!
Perhaps i will dive into... :-)

BTW: the camera2 node doesnt need any in- or output so its ideal for a macro:
Just load the macro in one of your projects and you have also the cam control..

Today I wrote my first NE extension node. :) It converts points array to rotation matrices which can be used as an Octane render scatter node data.

Hello Max,

that's a good idea to write extensions ;-) I don't have access to octane, but I always enjoy to read your code.

So have a nice evening and many thanks
Karsten

@Max
Never use that but for the glory! :)


last French lang.js for Node Classic & deviant! ;)

Path animation



actually very easy with the existing nodes... but (sorry Karsten ich habs schon wieder gemacht... ;-) the quarz nod needed just a little tweak.. to sync the quarz with the path_array Div i added Min and Max as an input.



Max's new SWITCH got also i nice place in the CameraMacro (which now also follows pathes)

Hello Ralf,

Thumbs up!
Looks like you having fun! Every change is allowed here! Hauptsache wir haben Spass!

Have a nice evening
Karsten

Hi,
can anybody tell me how to run the latest nodeeditor in moi V4 portable. i have tried the usual method and the latest as below.

moi.ui.createDialog( 'moi://appdata/nodeeditor/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

Barry

Hello Barry,

I've placed it in the standard UI folder with >>> moi.ui.createDialog( 'nodeeditor.v.0.99.2017.12.18/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow ); <<<<<
Should work also for you.
Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
did that to start with I am only getting a white window.Installing previous version of node editor same result.
There was some discussion between Max and Michael about the portable version not sure if it's been resolved.
Cheers
Barry

Genau!
Lets have some funny nodeling !

Hello Barry,

please check your path in detail - if there is no fault, try a complete/absolute path e.g. moi.ui.createDialog( 'X:\MoI_V4 beta\ui\nodeeditor.v.0.99.2017.12.18/index.html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680,defaultHeight:420', moi.ui.mainWindow );

Hope it helps
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
still no luck perhaps this discussion http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8704.48
as something to do with it.
I have looked at the index.html and it references the appdata path, if that means anything.
Thanks
Barry

Hi Karsten,
this is the error from a direct path.

SyntaxError: \u can only be followed by a Unicode character sequence

line 1

1: >> moi.ui. createDialog ('D:\MoI V4 beta\ui\ nodeeditor.v.0.99.2017.12.18/index. html', 'resizeable,defaultWidth:680 , defaultHight:420',moi.ui.mainWindow );

Barry

Hi Barry,

re:
> SyntaxError: \u can only be followed by a Unicode character sequence

In a JavaScript string the backslash \ character is used as an "escape" so you can make characters like \t meaning tab, or \uXXXX for a unicode character. If you want to make an actual backslash you need to put in \\ .

But it also looks like you may have some extra spaces in various places causing problems, especially "index. html".

I'd recommend trying 'nodeeditor.v.0.99.2017.12.18/index.html' - that should look for it in your MoI ui folder. Note there should not be any space in the middle of index.html

- Michael

Hello Barry,

fits the path exactly to your configuration? Please open the file path to the index.html and post a screenshot of the explorer or dolphin or other file manager, depending of your OS. then we can have a look.

Until soon
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
here it is.
Barry

Hi Michael/Karsten,
sorted my typing leaving spaces seems to have been the problem.
Many thanks
Barry
