Cartan Node Library 3.5

Cartan Node Library 3.5

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Attached is the latest rev of my Cartan Node Library. This file was built using over 433,000 nodes and over 583,000 connections, surely making it the largest Nodebox network on earth!

Version 3.5 includes 168 library nodes. I added 14 new nodes and improved another 14 existing nodes. All nodes are free for use with no restrictions.

To use: with your current project open use File/Open Recent to open node library 3-5.ndbx in another window. Then just copy/paste the desired node from the library into your project. A few of the nodes also require adding a code library module (included).

The top section contains all 168 nodes arranged under 9 categories. The bottom section contains 168 demos. Some demos contain extra bonus nodes. TIP: if you find yourself usually only needing the nodes themselves, make a copy of the library and then delete the lower section of demos and save that as "fast library 3.5"; it will open faster.

WHAT'S NEW

New Nodes:

Improvements:

NOTE: A PDF of the library poster showing all the nodes is included inside the zipped library folder. Feel free to print it out and hang it over your desk!

As always, please reply to this note and let me know that you saw it. This helps me know if anyone is using this library. If you find any issues with any of these nodes, or have suggestions for improvements or new nodes, PLEASE let me know. I hope you all have as much fun using this library as I've had expanding it.

Go forth and create!

John

    Hi there John,

    Thank you so much for another immense library!

    I wonder if it is possible to find a way to embed them in the nodebox ui. Search and browse them through that window would be so amazing, to see Cartan section below the Other ¦) and would be so easy to use, as well. I know, it is near to impossible but, I've just wondered, y'know ¦)

    Oh, I tweaked the time.py for split-second, 1/3600 and 1/216000 of a second and decided to turn my obsession to design mixture of analogue and digital clock to a lifelong project. I had couple of 'em somewhere but I only found this: so the tiny thing in the attached files is sort of a thank you gift for you.

    Thanks again chief!
    Abdu

    Ps. I count the nodes after I saw your last post. It was 36 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
