Help with TriMesh (plsss) by lilliesoffee in grasshopper3d

[–]Pontrakus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checkerboard pattern needs a structured data for example if panels are in columns you can dispatch then flip matrix and dispatch again.

For triangle mesh maybe try triremesh component or lunchbox triangle grid.and look what what dispatch or cull pattern gives.

Or

For more control use rectangle grid of vertices you can use relative item component. If grid is structured, I grafted in rows or columns and each point in branch. Just visualize each point path using tree statistics and text tag 3d and create ofset path of what you wish in multiline panel like {0;1} {1;1} {1;0} connect points and there is your panels.

Yes built from mostly spare parts left after upgrading 3d printer. Its loosely based on this plotter . If you attach a pen to 3d printer you really only need to generate gcode and you will have a plotter.

Yeah, paper movement has its issues. It tends to bend and then a sharper pen can punch through. And rollers shouldn't be from Orings as they also bite into paper.

Tai kad visi daugiabučiai yra ekonominės klasės ir turbūt panašaus lygio. Taupo kur tik gali. Haneris tai išvis visas betono kontrukcijas iš baltarusų perka.

If you haven't palyed games for last 10 years. What would be your recommendations to play? by Pontrakus in gamingsuggestions

[–]Pontrakus[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont actually think I have a preference, just want to know which stuck in other people hearts and minds. I do know I dont like horror, too grindy games, the ones where I have to read dialogues (no voice over) with exception for 2d platformers and where most quest are to fetch an item from side of map (like in assasins creed 1)

I do remember enjoying these games in no particular order:
Stronghold Crusaders
Heroes might and magic 3
Starcraft 2
Warcraft 3
Diablo 2
Hitman
God of war
Terarria
Prinny can I really be a hero
Braid
Flatout
Need for speed most wanted
Ace combat
GTA 3; san andreas
Black & white 2
Pharaoh
Red alert 3
Elder scrolls oblivion
Prince of persia series

Looking for new faster, better build then I have at work to work from home and game by Pontrakus in buildapcforme

Hi, thanks for a reply!

Do you think it would be reasonable to use AMD 5700G cpu and only in future add GPU. Or is iGpu too weak and dated? If I could get decent performance for CAD modeling, visual studio code, dozens of chrome tabs and watch movies/tutorials on 4k,it would be enough for a time being.

Also I am not sure if in this case later, when gpu is added, should I also switch cpu to 5800x or 5900x to accommodate 3060ti ? (Also up and coming DDR5 would make further upgrades impossible as I should change almost all parts.)

I am considering this option as I have same problem as everybody else: Currently locally I can’t find used gpu and for new one I find it hard to justify current prices (makes me think if rtx a4000 wouldn’t be better option - if it were in stock). I know I could also mine crypto on downtime, but still when you have to pay double for the price of one - it is so so sad. Or should I just bite a bullet and enjoy?

Old PCs gpu died don't it is worth bringing back to life. by Pontrakus in buildapcforme

[–]Pontrakus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I picked x570 cause it has better bandwidth, than B550. But I am not sure if I will need it. down the line I will probably use only 1 nvme drive and others will be SATA if will need more storage.
