tSXSpring 1.0. Spring polyhedrons maker.
For trueSpace 5.10 or above. Unzip inside the ../tsx folder along with path.
PARAMETERS:
- Resolution u (range 1 - 360): make polyhedron smooth or coarse along the wire's diameter;
- Resolution v (range 1 - 180): make polyhedron smooth or coarse along the wire's wind;
-- spring's extension and compression parameters --
- Wire diameter (range 0.001 - 1): the diameter of the wire;
- Spring diameter: the external spring's diameter;
- Windings: the number of windings.
These parameters acts on the free lenght of the spring; a large object could be created to match the required shape;
in this case the object must be scaled down through the common tools to match the suited dimension.

Re: Plug-in: tXSpring
Version 1.1
- fix correct Resolution range in u 3-360, v 3-180;
this was forgotten in seat of design against division by zero.

Thanks for posting this. I love TSx plugins and wish I could compile them as well. LeroyFenerit wrote:tSXSpring 1.0. Spring polyhedrons maker.

Re: Plug-in: tXSpring
Thank you Leroy.
P.S.
I'd already planned the releasing of the source just because I should like to have these "primitives" as NURBS patches, whose API I know lesser, and neither I know whether it is possible to do; hopefully someone may tell the last word (coding/not coding) about it.
Do you mean the source code here? Well, it will be released altogether once the parametric "set-up" has been well-tested against other math/shapes/plug-ins. It is far from being perfect now, and I could to re-write it from scratch if only to account for an all-in-one mesh buillder. FYI, I use VC6 designer/compiler.BNG wrote: Thanks for posting this.
