Custom ICE Node

Post by grreez » 29 Aug 2013, 15:09

Hi
Are there any good ICE nodes resources I can download.
The factory nodes are nice but sometimes i need things to be done faster.
I need to remap a non-uniform UV coordinates to uniform space on a curve in ICE.

i have attached screenshots.
I am building a fence compound and use the uv to layout node to generate the positions on a curve. As you can see on the second picture a gets stretched and all the point positions are getting messed up.
Does anyone know a solution?

Cheers

I wonder why nobody puts any comments :(

Anyway
I have found the solution to fix the odd parametrization of curves, uneven spread of uv's.
Modify curve/re parametrize/cord length which fixes the problem although some more things will have to be done to make the fence look perfect.

Hands down the best resource for ice compounds is here:

If you search for curve, there is a more even spacing compound by Julian Johnson that might be useful, but broadly, your approach is the right one, making the curve parametrization more equal.
