Hi list members, I am starting out with programming some stuff in GEM. I want to have a bang trigger a 3d path for an object. I have played around with the spline_path examples as provided but it seems quite laborious to create tables for paths. I am having trouble getting my head around how a table with figures like "0. -1. 0.5" relates to 3D positioning, can anyone offer some ideas?
the tricky thing with the *_path objects is the way they store data: the table should have values like x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x3 y3 z3 ... i really have to admit, that this is ok for storing and recalling data, but not for intuitively "draw" 3D-paths maybe i will add a feature for reading the data out of separate tables
I have seen mentioned in the pd documentation canvases and tables with drawing functions. I guess it maybe possible to create a table which is editable via the canvas to set a 3d path? Anyone done this already (so I dont reinvent the wheel!!) and if not anyone got some ideas of how I can set this up in a pd patch???
well, just use 3 tables (one for X, one for Y, one for Z) draw lines in them read them out with [tabread(4)] and you have 3 independant parameters (x,y,z)
