RE: strand tree and xsi2014

2014-04-14 Thread Hans Adrian (Intern)
Here is the explanation for the modified `Emit Branches` compound:
I moved the `set data` node to outside of `Add point` node on creation. This is 
because whenever there is a `Add point` node, the custom attribute stored in 
points may be reset. This was the case with 
`self.__strandTree_NumBranchesPerIteration`, which was reset to 0. It caused 
division by 0 in `Even Distribution Grow` node and thus the whole compound does 
not work. To work around this, we need to set the custom attributes in per 
Object context, instead, so that those attributes will not reset when there is 
another `Add point` node.

Hi,

Attached is modified Emit Branches compound which would work with the preset 
basic tree and other basic use. It has not been tested exhaustively, though.

Hi Andi,

not that I know... some ice updates really messed up the whole thing.
unfortunatelly I will not have the time to dig into the nodes and fix it, sorry.

have you ever checked the (much more elegant solution) Forester plugin from 
3dQuakers ?

Hello,

i was wondering if someone had tracked down the issue in Fabricio Chamon's 
superb strand tree compounds that stopped it working in  2014? Failing that 
would I be able to find a list of ice nodes that changed between 2013 and 1014 
so i could at least have a chance of replacing / rebuilding just the bits that 
changed (before i rebuild them all by hand - and then discover that I've still 
not fixed it)

cheers,

A.
