New Array Module

Post by Sadler »

A module that is able to use an input to transform array elements in 3D space. Input distribution would depend on the number of array elements. Options for offsetting rows or columns. Offsetting would would allow better packing of elements or would allow alignment of features between rows/columns.

For example, Poly -> Array and Audio -> Array would use audio frequencies to scale each poly.

Another example, Model -> Array and Gradient -> Array would scale the arrayed models according to the gradient and sliding the gradient would ripple the models.

Thanks, I do have plans for an improved Array module.

I was thinking of something that would allow an input to be drawn, and then some kind of transformation to be applied, and then the input to be drawn again, etc... I was going to call it "Iterator" or something like that. Parameters would dictate the number of iterations and the type(s) of transformation.

I'll keep your suggestions in mind.
