rdg Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Day 23: Touching Circles on a Spline Very minimalistic ripoff of uncontrol's 'Animated Circles Animation' [1] A spline is drawn between NULL objects. For every point > 0 pscale is set to the distance of P(n) to P(n-1) minus the pscale of P(n-1). setup_touching_circles_on_a_spline.hipnc Happy New Year.

rdg Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Day 24: Touching Circles on a Spline Cont'd The next step somehow didn't work out as expected: creating an arc to between two segments. I started this in September and back then the results where looking more promising [1] [2] [3]. The longitude/latitude formulas Mario posted [4] maybe produce more usable results? We will see. --> The orientation of the arc depends on if the next point P is left or right of the current segment AB. [5] v = (Ay-By)*Px+(Bx-Ax)*Py+(Ax*By-Bx*Ay) v>0: "Left" v<0: "Right" v=0: "On the line" (or in front of B / behind A) Meanwhile I just added a resampleSOP to add more elements. setup_touching_circles_on_a_spline_v2.hipnc [1] http://proforma.preset.de/spool/arc.jpg [2] http://proforma.preset.de/spool/arc2.jpg [3] http://proforma.preset.de/spool/arc3.jpg [4] http://forums.odforce.net/index.php?showto...ost&p=54521 [5] http://groups.google.de/group/comp.graphic...+line&pli=1 Edited December 31, 2008 by rdg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
