davegee Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Whilst "Wireframes" are not AVs in the accepted sense, there has been a little interest lately.Can I suggest that anyone with a "wireframe" that they want to share post it in this thread?I'll kick it off with "Wheels Within Wheels". Three Spheres - a blue one inside a green one inside a red one - all moving in different directions.Three Looping Slides repeated. Use the left and right arrows to move forward and back - escape to abort.It will give us something to occupy us until August 1.DGWheels Within Wheel.zip Quote
Lin Evans Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 LOL, you "knew" this was coming:O.K. - the 4th of July was our national "independence" day - so forgive the national flag flying at the top.... The "eagle" is our national symbol of freedom, courage, etc., but if Benjamin Franklin had his way it would have been a wild "turkey." Somehow - not quite the same - HA.This is a "spoof" on the mighty bald eagle - I call it "Fly, Fly very fast, the cats are coming"... As with your neat wire frame construction - press ESC to leave the continuous loop. All in fun!http://www.lin-evans...inwireframe.zip (about 3 meg)http://www.lin-evans...ireframemac.zipBest regards,Lin Quote
David Porter Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Well these wire frames are well beyond me and I'm not even going to try and understand how it's done but why are the wire straps infinitely thin so they disappear when when they come end on. Can't you make them have a circular cross section - is that another challenge? Quote
davegee Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Posted July 5, 2012 I "knew" that was coming!Within the context of this thread that's great.Before it started I expected the Eagle to be going around the wireframe.Any new "Wireframe" ideas?How about a PIPE?DGPIPE.zip Quote
davegee Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Posted July 5, 2012 Mick,That is the problem!!Our hobby and our software is 2 dimensional and we are trying to simulate 3 dimensionality with the tools that Igor has supplied.If we could give an image or an object "depth" then we would not need all of the trickery that has gone into some of these demonstrations / illusions.Imagine a PIPE which has first four sides along its length - like a square drainpipe. Then imagine 4, 8, 16 etc sides and keep going until the pipe is a round pipe.We could "tear" an image into 4 strips and put one on each face of the square pipe. We could do the same with the pipes with 8, 16 etc faces but to be able to wrap the image around a round pipe we would need an infinite number of impossibly thin strips to create the illusion of an image wrapped around a pipe.With a sphere it is even worse because from North Pole to South Pole the strip required is pointed at each end and has width at the equator. Even then it could not be wrapped around the sphere from North to South. DG Quote
Lin Evans Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Interesting optical illusion makes the pipe appear like a funnel in the "end" perspective...Best regards,Lin Quote

Ken Cox Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 DAVE/LINhow about an advert for the 2012 Olympics you guys are great ken Quote

sti65 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Hi Lin ad DaveI got the hang of the wire frame but what I have just seen it is way above my head.Charlie Quote
davegee Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Posted July 8, 2012 I played with this for a while - it might give someone ideas.Out of Control.zipDG Quote
Ken Cox Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 DAVE that one creates an optical illusion during it's cycle - had to blink and do it again to see it - it resembles a bed springyou want an idea - what about the particleseehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_bosonken Quote

davegee Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 Ken,Not an illusion - that's what I intended - look at this one.SPRING.zipRe Higgs Boson - that looks too much like SNOW - that's Lin's territory.DG Quote
Ken Cox Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 DAVE does it ovalise at the top end when extended or are my eyes trickin me )http://www.odps.org/glossword/index.php?a=term&d=5&t=409My eyes are dim I cannot see,I have not brought my specs with me,I have not bought my specs with me. B) Quote
sti65 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Posted July 27, 2012 Hi AllI put my wire frame in the wrong place sorry about thatI hope this one is correct.CharlieSquare_Jul27-2012_16-22-34.zip Quote
