Hi again,

I'm trying to find out, how I can morph between a fix value "X" and 4 different values "Y(1,2,3,4)", if "Y" is also morphing between it's four values at the same time!
I don't want Y(1,2,3,4) to be the 4 scenes on an x-y-plane!
I want it more the way that these 4 values can be mixed using 4 faders to result in a weighted average, but I cannot imagine how to get this done...

Any ideas, you guys?

Well...
I could anyhow equate every point (B,C,D,E) with a percentage of 25% and then restack the percentage onto the point the "X" shall move to using sliders or something, right? That should automatically set weights to the points. This is the most simple way to solve this I could think of...BUT...I again don't know how!

Help?

@elden Hello Elden,
I think you should look at PMPD again. You are trying to create a sort of static solar system where all of your points abcdef.....etc. (planets) have "moons" a(x) b(x) c(x) etc. which are the values that you are looking for.
X, a, b, c and a(x) b(x) etc. can have weights (masses) and be attracted (or repelled?). As X (the Sun) moves amongst the planets, the moons a(x) b(x) etc. (...the values that you are looking for?....) are moving because of the "mass" of X amongst them, being drawn from their fixed points abde....etc. towards X, but constrained by elastic string (gravity) connected to their host planets...... (I think, but of course I will be wrong!)

Wow - great analogy! Never thought about anything like gravity and space curvature to solve this problem! Amazing... and how would you patch this? Is it complex?

@elden I think you will be cleverer than me at making this happen....
First you should read (from your Pd folder) ....pd\extra\pmpd\manual\pmpd.pdf
and then in the....... pd\extra\pmpd\examples....... folder you might even find what you are looking for.......
Good luck,
David.

I'll take a shot at it. Maybe I find out something useful. Thank you!

@elden WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the first time that I have looked at the examples........ it's not "processing" but it is Pd on steroids......
many thanks to Cyrille Henry..... WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Play with.......38_elastique_membrane_on_a_sphere.pd............ and never ever again doubt that it can be "DONE" with Pd............
David.

@whale-av Holy crap I've been using pd for like 4 years now and have never seen this. Incredible

Really cool indeed!

Membrane mathematics is what I was looking for! Obviously it's physical modeling. Cannot understand how I could have overseen this! Great!
