NC model for a coroflake

[Steve Gase]

Is NC now at a point where custom models can be added?


Would NC have much value for a coroflake? 


The flakes look sharp as the arms swing around, or as pixels of light wind their way around the flake.


Here is an example: [size=78%]You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login[/size]






Here is the layout of my pixels across the individual 46" flakes:  [/size][size=78%](50 smart pixels, with 10 pixels per arm -- 5 arms)[/size]







I'm starting to think that NC may not be a great fit.  I'll have 7 of these in the show, and having the effects span individual flakes would be my goal.

I think a 5x10 matrix should work good. The effects can move center out, and rotate around. May have to play with pixel arrangement.

My thinking

1              4

3              10

Frankr and I are talking about how to address models like this. You will find there is a new option in ver 23 in the models screen. Besides Mtree 360,180, horiz matrix, vert matrix,, there is now a custom model.

we are not done with it (Or rather, frank is not done with it), but very soon we will be able to model radial models (snowflake, stars, combustionmark star).

Frank is also goign to make it so you can paste from Excel into the custo model screen.

Exciting stuff, glad frank is on board.

Both Frank and MAtt helping is why the releases have increased so much. There is just lots of new content being added.

thanks

That is GREAT news!
 
I now have 6 coroflakes completed -- hanging on the wall, and should complete the final 3 in just another couple days.  Looking forward to throwing NC at these and taking some video!
