One thing that i would like to ask, is how can I name my curve so its not conflicting with the previus one ge...

Re: Parametric modeling (Closed linear curves for start)

Re: Parametric modeling (Closed linear curves for start)

The square challenge! https://i.imgur.com/yUlPnw2.jpg Here my horrible (i bet) code for a Linear curve square, im still using the string to populate my points / draw the curve at the end. The plan was simple change direction every quarter. Then it got a litl more complicated with divisions. //Linea...

Re: Parametric modeling (Closed linear curves for start)

Hi! Perhaps this could also be of help? :: http://andy.moonbase.net/archives/940 Which can also be applied to strands and then (parametrically live) curves (with Strands to Curves) Hey FXDude, not expert on ICE or strands here but actually anything could help and it looks promising thanx! Even if i...

OKay lets start with super basic stuff for example: The Str8 Line Challenge :-o https://i.imgur.com/dKqT4lj.jpg SICreateCurve creates an empty curve SICreateCurve( [Name], [Degree], [CurveType] ) To add points in the curve we can use SIAddPointOnCurveAtEnd .

Re: Parametric modeling (Closed linear curves for start)

Is good to know that i have all these alternatives. For now i will try to play with simple shapes in Softimage. We also have some measuring tools avail can help some times.
An addon like (constraints etc) would be awesome, but since is too much of a work maybe it could be done in pieces.

Parametric modeling (Closed linear curves for start)

Hello Guys, not long ago I came across a situation, were i had to 'solve' a 2d shape outside of SI on paper with my rusty trigonometric skills, and actually I had to do the same over and over again with different parameters, in order to extract info and pick 2-3 designs that suit my case, with targe...

Unbiased RT Pathtracer - Coding tutorial (LWJGL + Java)

KaiHH from the LWJGL forum, started recently a tutorial on unbiased realtime pathtracers writen with java and lwjgl. He makes use of an importance based sampling technique (that improoves speed), and an nVidia Filter , enchanced somehow for real time noise removal of the final frame. -- http://www.j...

Re: Split / cut Texture_Projection by cluster

If you want to have 4 vertical slices. You can create a typical sphere, apply spherical proj, select edges that you want to cut , disconect components In T editor, seperate the 4 isles (or patches), by default u select them with the 'I' or you can directly double click polygons in viewport , and you...
