meshmachine/ SizP & SizV

Hi everyone,

Quick question about mechmachine: I cannot get SizV & SizP options to work. I simply put to points on opposite corners of a rectangular surface with to reasonably different values as SizV and run the machine, but no effect. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Joshua - This comes from one of the examples Daniel posted along the first version of mechmachine, right? I tried to use it, but it has problems with new version of Plankton and Kangaroo I guess. doesn't work any more here.

Try without grafting the inputs.

Will - Tried different compositions, grafted & flattened, but no luck.

Hi all,

Try setting the "Background" input to 0.

This value(which by default is 0.5) makes the edge lengths a blend between the global value (the Length input) and the local value (from its location and the SizP/SizV inputs).

Also, MeshMachine works on flat lists, so no grafting.

Hope this helps,

Daniel

Daniel - Very nice. With the exponent variable and the distance put into calculations it's really flexible, too. Thanks.
