Torus ======== .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/188714711-643291b3-6234-4a66-8c1b-8382d6ae3bac.png :target: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/188714711-643291b3-6234-4a66-8c1b-8382d6ae3bac.png Functionality ------------- This node generates torus like meshes. .. image:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/191261409-2e7c851b-1fc3-4978-97f7-0fcad4763cea.png :target: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14288520/191261409-2e7c851b-1fc3-4978-97f7-0fcad4763cea.png Inputs ------ All inputs are vectorized and they will accept single or multiple values. - **Major Radius** - Radius from the torus origin to the center of the cross section **[1]** - **Minor Radius** - Radius of the torus' cross section **[1]** - **Revolution Sections** - Number of sections around the torus center - **Spin Sections** - Number of sections around the torus tube - **Revolution Phase** - Phase the revolution sections by this angle amount **[3]** - **Spin Phase** - Phase the spin sections by this angle amount **[3]** - **Revolution Exponent** - Exponent of the revolution profile - **Spin Exponent** - Exponent of the spin profile - **Spin Twist** - number of twists (start-end vertex shift) - **Exterior Radius** - Exterior radius of the torus (farthest from the torus center) **[2]** - **Interior Radius** - Interior radius of the torus (closest to the torus center) **[2]** Notes: * **[1]** : Major/Minor radii are available when Major/Minor mode is elected. * **[2]** : Exterior/Interior radii are available when Exterior/Interior mode is selected. * **[3]** : The phase angles are in DEGREES. The Property Panel has option to set angle units as: RADIANS, DEGREES or UNITIES. Parameters ---------- The MODE parameter allows to switch between Major/Minor and Exterior/Interior radii values. The input socket values for the two radii are interpreted as such based on the current mode. All parameters except **mode** and **Separate** can be given by the node or an external input. +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | Param | Type | Default | Description | +=========================+==========+==========+======================================================+ | **Major Radius** | Float | 1.00 | Major radius of the torus **[1]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Minor Radius** | Float | 0.25 | Minor radius of the torus **[1]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Exterior Radius** | Float | 1.25 | Exterior radius of the torus **[2]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Interior Radius** | Float | 0.75 | Interior radius of the torus **[2]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Revolution Sections** | Int | 32 | Number of sections around torus center | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Spin Sections** | Int | 16 | Number of sections around torus tube | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Revolution Phase** | Float | 0.00 | Phase revolution sections by a angle amount **[4]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Spin Phase** | Float | 0.00 | Phase spin sections by a angle amount **[4]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Revolution Exponent** | Float | 1.00 | Exponent of the revolution profile **[5]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Spin Exponent** | Float | 1.00 | Exponent of the spin profile **[5]** | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Spin Twist** | Int | 0 | Twist spin sections by this increment amount **[3]**| +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ | **Separate** | Boolean | False | Grouping vertices by V direction | +-------------------------+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------------+ Notes: * **[1]** : Major/Minor radii are available when Major/Minor mode is elected. * **[2]** : Exterior/Interior radii are available when Exterior/Interior mode is elected. * **[3]** : When the twist has the same value as the spin sections the torus tube makes a full twist. * **[4]** : Phase angles are given by default in DEGREES. The Property Panel has option to set angle units as: RADIANS, DEGREES or UNITIES. * **[5]** : The exponents alter the circular profiles inwards or outwards to make a starrish or a squarish shape. Extra Parameters ---------------- A set of extra parameters are available on the property panel. These parameters do not receive external input. +------------------+----------+---------+--------------------------------------+ | Extra Param | Type | Default | Description | +==================+==========+=========+======================================+ | **Angle Units** | Enum | DEGREES | Interprets the angle values based on | | | | | the selected angle units: | | |* RADIANS | | | | |* DEGREES | | * Radians = 0 - 2pi | | |* UNITIES | | * Degrees = 0 - 360 | | | | | * Unities = 0 - 1 | +------------------+----------+---------+--------------------------------------+ Outputs ------- **Vertices**, **Edges**, **Polygons** and **Normals** All outputs will be generated when connected.
