Hello Friends
a new exercise, just to keep the mind trained
nothing special, but the result seems
to me quite high-performance-
have a nice evening everyone

Hi Friends
an animation test of a
Mechanical Iris, entirely made in Elephant ....
I think because of the numerous Booleans made
the file is heavy, and this undoubtedly affects
on the yield of the Quartz Knot ...
in any case, for those interested

Ciao Alberto!

...ma come cacchio fai a creare certi "mostri" ?
:) :) :) scherzo...

ma...no mi funziona. Mi da in rosso i nodi "Quartz2" e "Display".

In English :

But...how do you create such "monsters" ?
:) :) :) I'm just kidding.

Anyway...it doesn't work for me. I see these nodes in red "Quartz2" and "Display".

Ciao!

P.S. I've tested with latest Moi V4

Ciao Marco
display e quartz 2 sono nodi di Ralf

Hello Marco
display end quartz 2 it Ralf's extention ,
go to this link for download

Have a nice day

alberto

Thanks for the link but...I really have no time to follow that discussion :)

If you can, please post the two nodes as they're form your actual config.

Thanks!

Hello Friends
an interesting example, I think, of creating a surface
transition between two existing ones
also quite stable ......

StuffitExpander on Mac says:

Quartz2 is inside here:

Wanderful!

...some use case or example ?

Thanks.

I changed Karstens Quartz node to Quartz2 with the min and max as a input to sync it with the numbers of control points for my path animation Node...

Ralf....I've no words!!

What a wanderful thing you did with the Node Editor!!!

I'm pretty sure that Michael never imagined that one day Moi could have been an animation software !!!

Very funny!

Now we have a free terrific solver who will avoid some headaches of the Nodes Builders fans!

Hi Friends
I want to share this exercise
a famous mechanism .... " geneva well "
in the attached images I also show the set-up
to create the animation ...
the file is parameterized, so it is possible to modify
the number of slots in the well ...
For interested poeple the file at this link:

Hello Alberto!

As I've said many times here....YOU'RE A MASTER OF NODES!!!

Amazing :)

Here's a quick video : http://take.ms/bV1qz



Ciao!

Marco thanks for the nice words..
and for the video you made as a service to all nodeeusers ...
Thanks again
Have a nice evening

alberto

You're welcome Alberto!

If I may, let me give you only one little suggestion, that maybe you already know.

If you want, you could post a simple capture of Moi's screen with some, or at least, one use case of the wanderful nodes you're post here from time to time.
In this way it's easier for any user to get a quick look of what that particular node does.
And also the user is "encouraged" to download the stuff and play with it.

My two cents :)

Thanks for all your wanderful nodes!

Ciao.

Hi Friends
I want to share this Macro with you,certainly useful I Hope
M_Pipe
input:
-curves
-radius
- cap round =0
- cap flat = 1
If the input curves overlap the result
it is only one Brep-

Hi I need some help (as usual),
I'm using James Retop nod to generate the facets for Sub D smoothing as the Zarkow method.
I create surfaces and name them.Then using the 'get by name' selector step thro them one by one
adjusting Iso 'u-v' as required and applying the faceted results.
however sometimes the facets are connected out of order (see photo's) usually in the Iso 'u' direction.
however if I rebuild the surface (unnamed) it works correctly.
I'm using Max's latest nodeeditor and have attached Surfaces and nod files.
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry,

I'm sorry about this bug in my macro. I have encountered this issue before with a similar macro: "Surface&Tile", and attempted a work around. I have pared back said macro and included it in attached .nod file.
The only remaining issue is that U & V isocurves are at times flipped relative to neighbouring patch, but this only requires switching between inputs. See attached image.

Hope this helps
James
