Hi Neil,
Unfortunately, it takes about 3 to 4 hours to generate one of the forms that
I'm making .... the setup creates spheres in a path determined by three
waveforms then each of the three axes of the sphere are determined by 3 more
waveforms. The path of spheres is collected and condensed into one form.
It takes time to do this. I dream of doing this in realtime to sound but
I'll have to reincarnate to see the technology that will be available to the
non-military civilians to do it.
I'll send you some images by private email if you give me your address.
Cheers, Chuck Henry <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>

Howdy Chuck
This 12 input oscilloscope draws some VERY COOL sculptures
Got a screen grab of some of this very cool stuff ... pretty please?
Your project sounds massive. But animation is missing ... maybe set it up
for a stereo movie sequence rather than statuettes? Set it for auto-play
with any given music and hand out the glasses?

Subject: BB and Periodic waveforms ... Hi Frank Dodd
Hi Frank,
I've been using the Building Blocks JavaScript plugin that you helped me
with years ago to model periodic waveforms on three axes and on the axes
of
the sphere all of which are controlled by notes of the musical scale.
The
combination that has me stumped is the A, C, E triad. The attached file
includes the JS script and the path of the sphere does not return to the
starting point in the number of frames that I have assigned .... no
matter
how many I use .... I've gone as high as 25,000. It seems to need about
15%
more frames than I assign no matter how many I use. This doesn't happen
on
other note combinations. I don't think it is a non-recurring cycle. I'm
using 30 FPS. Any thoughts, suggestions. I also discovered that the
sequence of spheres file grows much faster when the realtime renderer is
turned off .... Duh!!!! The things I learn while beating my head
against
the wall:-)
I'm finally getting access to our Stereo-Lithography Printer so I'm
looking
forward to seeing these forms in the real world soon. I'm in a course
that
is using Rhino to interface with the Stratasys machine and the instructor
says that the best import/export is with the IGES plugin. So, I'm trying
all
of the possible formats before I spend the $200 for the IGES plugin. So
far .3ds is working pretty good.
This 12 input oscilloscope draws some VERY COOL sculptures ...... Thanks
much for your input on this and for your many contributions to this
forum.
Cheers, Chuck Henry
