Hey there, here you do a similar thing like in the other video I commented on: taking simple maths and make it more complicated 😁 After mapping the curve factor to the range of -1 to 1 and squaring it so it goes from 1 to 0 and back to 1, all you have to do is subtract 1 from the value. This way it goes from 0 to -1 and back to 0. This way you don't have to multiply it by -1 like you did when subtracting the other way round.
Hey, thanks for letting me know! That definitely works and you can accomplish it with 1 node instead of 2. I'll try to keep these in mind when creating future tutorials.
Oh, and I did not rebuild this nodetree yet, but simple question: if you don't want cables connecting to points on the same object and using the length as criterion - why not deleting the curve before applying the slack? This way you can change the slack to whatever you want and it has no effect on the cables' selection.
That definitely works and is a much better solution than what I did😅 In my head, I went linearly and tackled one problem at a time and didn't check for methods of optimisation, which I definitely should have done. I'll try my best to check for these possible optimisations in future videos.
Great video! Your tutorial really helped me a lot. Thank you😄
Thank you so much!! I'm glad the tutorial helped out 😁
