Thanks Eduard for the link to the voronoi sphere

I've been looking at stuff like http://toxiclibs.org/2011/12/metworks-workshop-facade/
and also Radiolarians
e.g.
http://i.materialise.com/gallery/radiolarian-lamp

which can be generated proceduarlly

*Project ID: M0302

Thank you for applying for Maker Faire Tokyo 2019.
We are glad to notice that your exhibit is accepted.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Tokyo!*

So, it’s now official! 🙂
Let me know if anyone wants to attend.

@kaosat-dev At first I tried to use a 10K triangles model but as it didn't render I downscaled to 5K, 3K, 2K then 1K. And after, I made another model with 2x more slices that this script was unable to render even with a 1K model, so I changed the script to make it render chunks of slices, and it was ok. I suppose it could work with higher resolutions models.

@z3dev for my purposes the type of api doesn't matter much, because I use a preprocessor (currently python, may be something like livescript in the future) that can generate whatever I need. Ideally I would use the lowest level.

That said, I could eventually use javascript as a frontend directly. It's a whole different situation with jscad compared to openscad as a backend.

My preprocessor generates a tree internally (which seems to be very similar to the vtree).
So, the transition to jscad could also be from my tree to vtree...

btw. I already created a new thread for further discussions, because I thought it would not fit well under "V2 hulls"):

@z3dev Hello, I didn't open an issue because it's V1, but I will do it so we could keep track of the solution I used. Yesterday I tried my little html5 app on my android tablet with Firefox and it works perfectly

even the PDF creation part

@drewpear strange indeed.

sorry, but i don't have any suggestions at this time. i will post again if i think of something.

by the way, i just submitted a pull request to enable the editor again for the V2 website. this should be available in the next 'alpha' release.

i also opened a new issue for changing the shortcuts for the 'reload' of designs. this will be important for mobile devices which has soft keyboards.

@BarbourSmith is there some reason to use three.js? the primary focus of three.js is quite differnet from JSCAD.

It should be pretty trivial to convert between three.js data structures and JSCAD data structures. But don't expect either project to supply the conversions.

Maybe somone has a set of functions already, or you'll have to write some simple conversion functions.

I have sth with this function 🙂

@z3dev Hey! Thanks for the reply and the welcome, appreciated. I tried @danmarshall app and it works as I was expected. I tried the console.log with the web + debug console in safari and chrome (on mac) but didn't get anything printed.

It's any other post with other tools for debugging available or it's still in development? (I'm using vsc)
Thanks.

@Maria-Alzate Just for your information, as part of the last release, there's a new project() function which can project a 3D shape to a 2D shape.

@hrgdavor Thank you for your code, it would be great to be able to load code and data like that then fire it. I hope it will be possible, with v1 I used gProcessor.setJJsCad() on an html/js app but here it is directly a jscad script.

@Robert-Olson small update:

managed to add reload functionality into :
http://3d.hrg.hr/jscad/three/threejscad.html

just drop a script on to the screen, edit in your fav editor and see results.

tested only in chrome, to se errors use browsers console F12

it is a rough prototype with ton of scrappy code, but works relatively ok.
modeling is in main thread, so if you create an infinite loop, you will have to kill the tab.

nevertheless if you do start using it, let me know how it works for you , or if it breaks

And for those that don't want to wait... here's the full URL, which adds a query parameter to the end of the website URL.

Update: This was fixed after I upgrade the chrome to version 90.
Thanks.

@z3dev Thanks a lot, it is always helpful to understand the reason of specific behaviors. My design has one path for the outline that will be cut, and lines for the folds. To remove the black fill I can try to turn the path to a polygon.

@Nathan-Apter I'm interested in doing some freelance work. I'm pretty new to the project though, but planning to build up my three.js and webgl skills anyway, so might be a good match. I'm going to send you a message.

Researching cnc workings better, seems like the conversion process is more involved and that DXF is a suitable format for generating CNC g-code from. DXF export from jscad is very reliable so far. thanks all for the replies

Wow very cool! Hard to imagine how that would even be possible with traditional CAD software 🙂

@rozek hope that you are still using JSCAD.

there are some changes to vectorChar and vectorText, which will become part of V3 JSCAD. if you have time then please take a look.
