Eric Mims replied to TheChosenOne's discussion BUGS with commands "Sweep 1, 2 rails", "Rail revolve" with closed curves."I once had the problem where I had to have the Curve Seam of the rail lined up with the profile curve. Doing this fixed the issue. Maybe that will work for you. It isn't always reliable though."
Vicente Soler replied to Eric Mims's discussion flat shading"You can try using the following code to sort of "unweld" a mesh. Just paste the code inside a vb.net component and conect the mesh to the x input.
Dim m As New mesh
Dim c As Integer =…"
Eric Mims replied to Eric Mims's discussion flat shading"Well, fortunately this is for a very course mesh.. a heavily faceted surface that I wanted to be able to visualize as faceted without having to bake each time."
David Rutten replied to Eric Mims's discussion flat shading"Oh dear, that means you get an individual mesh for every face in the original mesh. Unwelding would be a better approach, though there is no unweld function available in the Rhino4 SDK.

Eric Mims replied to Eric Mims's discussion flat shading"I just figured it out. I Decomposed the mesh, then created a new mesh using the vertices and faces, but graphed the faces input. It displays as a flat shaded object in Rhino."
David Rutten replied to Eric Mims's discussion flat shading"I don't think that's possible.

How do I use Preview or Material to show a mesh with flat shading? I saw one other question, but the answer wasn't helpful, or I couldn't figure it out. thanksSee More
Eric Mims replied to Eric Mims's discussion Relief"I have, but not in regards to this.. I will read over it when I get time later. I just added a bit so it could be constant height plus have custom profile. There is lots of room for refinement. I think such a definition would…"
Fred Becquelin replied to Eric Mims's discussion Relief"Hi Eric,
Have you been there?
I'm interested in going further on this matter as I got myself a nice cnc milling machine...
Cheers,
Fred."
Eric Mims replied to Eric Mims's discussion Relief"I was able to achieve a constant height by hand drawing the centerline ridge, measuring the CP from each point of the flat mesh, then using a function of the CP of the centerline and CP of the border. So does Rhino contain any methods to…"

I'm looking to figure out if this is the best method for creating reliefs within GH. Are there any gradient creation methods that could be used (I have seen similar things in photoshop that could…"

I've been working on a relief creator (think Artcam, Enroute, RhinoArt). So far it's quite simple, with the vertex height being based off of the point's CP distance to the original curve. (See image below) I have tried adding a graph mapper and that does some cool things, as well as adding a profile curve to try and drive the shape. Enroute has the ability to do a constant height relief, so imagine the image below, except that the ridgeline is at same elevation (ie. the angle of the…See More

Wade Martin said… I read your blog nice work yourself.
it's mostly the same way, I control depth by gray scale. vectors are laid on top gray scale image or surface. I use a different cam software to generate G-code. No def, as i was just playing.
I see lots of models here thought I share finished work
