it's a project that creates a gallery from .jscad designs

Hello, here is another example script, it uses the 5 platonics solids, each one has its function :
tetrahedron(), octahedron(), hexahedron(), dodecahedron() and icosahedron(). I grabbed the math data from the OpenJSCAD platonics example. The sizes are not homogeneous.

It is here : https://openjscad.org/#https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gilboonet/designs/master/polyhedrons.jscad

This new star primitive looks promising. Thank you for the code sample, I will try to use .fromAngleRadians().

Hello, I'm making some code examples, here is a regular polygon generator. it can be used to demo the function or make a polygon with it. It can be viewed here
https://openjscad.org/#https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gilboonet/designs/master/regularPolygons.jscad

My intention is to do the same for common polyhedrons (icosahedron and so on), so users could start a design from one of those volumes, just by picking the corresponding function.

I'm using a function (simpleRotate) to rotate my points, but was there a way to use an internal function to do the same ?

My code (obj2jscad) only reads a very simple OBJ file (only triangular without normals or textures) and take use of its facets materials groups. Materials are described into another file that I don't use but it could be done to read colors as materials simplest expression can be colors. True OBJ format is much more complex than that.

Hello, i'm still working on improving my unflatten script, and the latest improvement I'm working on is a convenient way to specify separated spaces on a model. OBJ format can save a model with faces of different materials, so I adapt my Stl2Jscad nodejs script to obj. Here is an example using it :
https://github.com/gilboonet/auto_flattener/tree/master/testOBJ

To show the example into openjscad.org there's some work to do :

• copy the directory and open it,
• run node obj2jscad montage2 on the cli, that will create the file "modele_obj.jscad",
• open openjscad.org and drag "modele_obj.jscad" and "testOBJ.jscad"

You can then, easily modify the model colors (I do it with Wings 3D and what is important is not the colors but the materials), save the obj file, run obj2jscad on it again, and refresh jscad script.

I'm not certain that lots of people need multicolor models but I hope that that idea could be useful.

Hello, I added two features to my unflatten script :

• a list of facet couplets to not attach, in order to optimize the net
• a version of the pdf renderer (pdfP.js instead of pdf.js) with puzzle like notches, in order to ease the assembly.
  The code is here : https://github.com/gilboonet/auto_flattener/tree/master/Puzzle_Moai
  

@z3dev My cardboard facetted statues are not easy to make, but I would be happy to send you one of them as sample. Maybe the little elephant

or do you prefer another one ?

@jamesnewton Indeed it is not that critical, it won't be bad to have already answered questions on the previous forum asked again here, so up to date answers could be provided. By the way those who have jscad knowledge/experience to share can make a post to show what they do, put some code.

My example is here :
https://github.com/gilboonet/designs/tree/master/testInclude
You can test it by drag&drop the directory to openjscad.org
