Procedural modeling in Blender using Node Editor

sorcar's Issues

Request Access to drive parameters from the resize node

The random loop nodes works fine but can this be combined with the resize node
Do you have plans to expose these parameters so that they can be driven by the random float etc..

Random Error Message 2, No Output Mesh

Keep getting this... and no mesh generated. I think the refresh mesh has issue.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jimmyg/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.79/scripts/addons/ProcGenMod-master-2/__init__.py", line 434, in execute

Select Nth does not really select

When I am using Select Nth, with previous node deselecting all, I am getting error.

Apparently I need to Select All Face beforehand, before being able to select Nth. Is this by design?

Drivers aren't working

Sorcar not installing / Linux

ProcGenMod installs and shows up in the node list.

Removed ProcGenMod. Saved. Restarted.

Installed Sorcar. Not showing up in the node list.

Removed Sorcar. Reinstalled ProcGenMod. Showed up in the node list.

Boolean modifier

Boolean works fine , only one problem if you change the size from the other object then you must always reselect the booleon object names etc...:

Is there maybe a better solution for in the future

Installing Sorcar 3.0 Alpha as ZIP does not show up under addon

It bothers me but the zip install of the addon and it is not showing up in the addon list. Do I need to change the zip name or something? Thanks!

Old meshes do not get deleted on update

On update, the input nodes execute and delete the object, but not the mesh. A new mesh is created and stacked onto the list of old meshes.

Cannot install this addon now.... 😔

Whoopsie: In the latest version, Cylinder node does not have output...

It's probably a human error :D

I remember it was working before.

Resize uniform or Random

Random resize works fine , but is there maybe a solution that you can random uniform scale

Sometimes you need complete random x-y-z
Or uniform resize x&y or xyz or yz

if you move your object you get another random value this is maybe nice for animation but not if you need the same random look ,

Maybe refresh random node all the time or just one time and keep the same value

Can this be done in the future ?

ShaderNodeMapping: doesn't have attribute "execute"

Calling "Execute Node" operator (bpy.ops.sc.execute_node()) in some cases results in:

(Even on blank project)

EDIT: Happens on linux

With search select sharp edges : 2 nodes with the same name

If you use Search select sharp edges : i have 2 nodes with the same name is this correct ?

Set Shading smooth /flat and by angle works fine : Thanks

Search Node by Name does not work in some Blender version...

I am using multiple Blender 2.79 and somewhat the "Search node by name" does not work in some version of Blender (more recents). Any idea?

Can we use Float Random to have Multiple Values ...

... for Extrusion?

I tried this but it does not quite work the way I would imagine. Perhaps there is a trick to make it so that Extrusion can have random multiple values?

Memory Usage

I've noticed that the memory usage just keeps going up and up and does not get freed if you change the seed value on a select random node. The memory does not go down if you delete the object either. You have to restart blender to free up memory.

Request for Soccar displacement modifier

Can this be done with Soccar in the Future

Soccar enable And Sverchok Sv nodes conflict with Search

Enable Soccar
Enable Sv node
Search with Sv node Error
Disable Soccar now Sv node search works correct but not if you enable Sv nodes and Soccar

Shading smooth for hardsurface

Can you maybe add a extra option for the node set shading smooth for hardsurface ( auto smooth for example 30 or lower or higher etc...

Refresh Mesh Output gives error, and no output mesh

This is a really weird error or bug that preventing me to use Sorcar (previously ProcGenMod).

I am using Mac and this has been quite bugging me since last time. I remember having this bug and none work and so I gave up. And today I decided to look this add-on again and pretty impressed by what it has become with all new nodes etc.

HOWEVER, I just wanted to make and output a mesh with Refresh Mesh Output node and nothing happen, instead I am getting this error:

Am I doing anything wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jimmyg/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.79/scripts/addons/Sorcar-master/__init__.py", line 501, in execute

Bevel restrict by angle detection ( sharp edges )

I think the bevel modifier need some finetuning

Rotate X Y Z or -X - Y - Z

Rotate works fine only the user have no idea if he use xor y or z etc....

Scatter node need a better solution to align objects

is there maybe in the future a better solution for to align the objects like you can do like with sverchok see example ,

Vectorization / Multiple Values does not work?

I continue to explore Sorcar now that I have time. I still have issue in how to generate multiple values like to generate random offset poke or extrude. It should be logical, but still unsure how to go about doing this?

I use Sverchok a lot and got used to be able to just: Generate Random Values in Range, etc and then plug it into the next node.

Do we actually need Loop in order to generate Multiple Values?

ProcGenMod is clashing with Sverchok "search"

Not sure how this can be handled, you might need to talk to SV developers.

But I found that your ProcGenMod is clashing with Sverchok Search.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jimmyg/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.79/scripts/addons/sverchok-master-6/utils/sv_extra_search.py", line 165, in invoke

AttributeError: 'Node' object has no attribute 'get_shorthand'

Also on the other hand, ProcGenMod "search" does not work on Blender version 2.79 latest.

Object Ref sockets change active object

Nodes having mesh selection sockets change active selected object to the one created by linked network on execution (e.g: array modifier node)

Why ProcGenMod node looks like empty frame...?

Not the first time getting this, in the past it was Cylinder node, now this:

Extrude Faces : name is not correct

Extrude faces : maybe better to rename this to extrude individual faces

Plugin Interferes with Shader editor toolbar

Plugin Interferes with Shader editor toolbar

Node tree linker (selector) resets when changed

Icon is also different

Scatter Vertices

Scatter from vertices need some correction :

New Color connection some off them use the same colors

Some node nodes from the new system use the same color connection points , this is verry difficult to understand

for example normally you use white to white & black to black etc... but with the red input or output there are different options , the user have no idea or indication if this is correct or not .

Maybe better to use the same color for value another color for Swith ON/OFF etc....

Origin node returns NoneType

Cannot use "Pivot Center" twice

The first node encountered works fine, but the next one in the network has no effect.

Extrude edges mirror ON/Off make no difference

Extrude edges from a cone i think there is a problem with the normals , can you take a look to this

Connection Points to better organize the Nodes

I think with the addon wrangler you can make some extra connection points , this can be a good idea for in the future to better organize the nodes

Group nodes etc... Not importent for the moment , but maybe for the future

See basic example :

Thanks for the new update for the boolean modifier node works fine .

New Shading : Auto smooth By Angle is not working

Request : Edge split node & Modifier

Can you maybe add edge split for component mode and the modifier edge split for mesh

To control SC node using SV node?

I am doing a test where I am using SVerchok node to control SorCar. Apparentlhy Sorcar does not seem to it when attribute value is changing from outside and somewhat I am getting an error, no mesh output and everything break.

I have not tested with Drivers or animation to contor Sorcar, but with above setup I am doing why is it Sorcar failed in generating and updating the mesh?

Node Frame First Time ... what? Random error no Output.

Keep getting this error when I click on Refresh Mesh (Mesh Output)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jimmyg/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.79/scripts/addons/ProcGenMod-master-2/__init__.py", line 377, in execute
    node.first_time = True
AttributeError: 'NodeFrame' object has no attribute 'first_time'

location: <unknown location>:-1

Cannot get any output 😔 never happened before.

Some Nodes have the same name with Search

If you use search some off the nodes have the same name
Maybe you can rename it to Bevel Mesh and Bevel Component

How can i remove doubles

Basic idea : but can find a component to remove the double vertices : is there maybe a easy solution for in the future ?

Sorcar will cause Modular Tree error

Sorcar will cause Modular Tree's add nodes fails.

Can't install v2.1 on Blender 2.80.

Downloaded v2.1 zip and tried to install it as Blender 2.80 add-on. Didn't get any errors, but Sorcar is not showing in the add-on list and there is no "Node Editor" to open. Did I miss any steps? Thanks!

Introductory tutorials for beginners.

Hello. Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this type of question. Please let me know if there's a more appropriate venue.

I just started playing with this add-on and it seems very promising. Are there any plans to create some introductory tutorials for beginners? The videos linked to in the description are very impressive in showing what sorcar can do, but it would be nice to see how to build those node trees from scratch.

Request : Shading Smooth

Shading smooth can this be done inside the node editor , because if you change some off the settings it switch back to flat shading .

Select Nth with Array can this be done ?

Basic example :
Procgen Cicle Array .zip

New math operation : need some correction

New math operation works fine except if you use 0 : for example i you want to drive the radius/size from a cube and if you use 0+0 then you get no output but the user think now i have a cube with radius 0 but instead he get a cube with the default radius off 1
The same with - substract or multiply

Vector values in linear layout

Need to expand node to a huge size before the vector values are visible

Set location /Rotation /Scale

Set location /Rotation /Scale is this the same like Apply Location / Rotation/Scale in object mode ?

I think this works not the correct or do you use these node for other things
