Re: Help with tile shape
The Set node allows to set a custom variable value. You have to write the variable name in the text field. It gets the type from the previous node, so if you want to get the variable, make sure you get it using the correct type. You can't get the variable anywhere anytime: you can set/get variables only within the same… -
Re: Help with tile shape
We actually talked about that when the Set/Sequence feature was implemented. The thing is, you can Set variables in any function in any parameter in any node in the fx-map graph. The way we use it in this example is one of the many possibilities: we could set a variable in the iterate node and get it in a quadrant below,… -
Re: Help with tile shape
Hi Nicolas, I see your point. If Sets are accessible by all the nodes in the FX-Map, it means you could put the "first evaluated function" slot, at the FX-Map level, rather than in the Quadrant or in the Iterate. A variable set at FX-Map level could be used in any Quadrant, for example, but each Quadrant could define its… -
Re: Help with tile shape
the line thickness at least. The "pattern specific" function would be nice, but i could fake that with other nodes i believe. -
Help with tile shape
Hey all, wondering if anyone has some guidance getting this shape with a tile or brick generator: Currently I am using a tile generator with an SVG node to connect the tiles together. It works, but if I want to change any of the tile generator functions, i would have to manually adjust the SVG, which isn't that efficient.… -
Re: Help with tile shape
@NicolasW: I noticed you used Set and Sequence nodes in the FX-Map. I have never quite figured out how they work and unfortunately they are missing in the documentation. Could you point out any piece of information about them? By looking at the graph of your FX-Map, I think they might solve a hurdle I am facing. Thank you -
Re: Help with tile shape
Sorry kwshipman for hijacking the thread :) You're right Nicolas, it wouldn't take into account the actual iterations... It is tricky indeed, and I am sure you've given the matter a lot of thought, considering all the implications. The only possible solution I see, like you said earlier, would be to add this special "first… -
Re: Help with tile shape
@NicolasW: It helped indeed, I successfully used Sets and Sequences in a graph of mine. The only thing that doesn't sit very well with me is to have to put everything in the topmost parameter of the FX-Map, namely the Luminosity. I understand it mustn't be that one, but it happens to be, because it is the first evaluated.…
