I just hacked my first .svg.

and yeah, I'm proud :P

@Vincent Congrats

thx :) It was very simple, but first steps are first steps.

Sure

Doing eps is even easier

is it? I never opened an eps in a code edtor.

text editor, its simple but offcourtse programs can convolute it to their hearts content

hehe... wouldn't want to look at a gradient mesh

here is one example i have used before

codepad.org/uWOxCYc0

    %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
    %%BoundingBox: 0 0 40 40
    %%Title: Logo
    %%Creator: Janne Ojala
    %%CreationDate:  2014-10-08
    %%EndComments

    % Put this in a text file and drop
    % in app that understands eps. Like
    % ghostscript, illustrator, indesign etc.

    20 20 translate
    70 30 360
    {
        gsave
          dup rotate
          newpath
            15 0 0.01 4 -1 roll mul 0 360 arc
          fill
        grestore
    } for
    %%EOF

pretty simple stuff

altough you could begin with lines

hm, should be doable indeed

thing is, I just needed to fix an svg for working correctly in the Chrome browser

but I was fascinated by the simplicity of the code

Most formats are simple when you get to it

Im trying to solve the tangent equation of a bezier elegantly

I mean i can solve it but the code looks ugly

...that's too much math for me :/

its applied highschool math

A bit messy tough

my highschool math was always messy

LOL

except for spatial arithmetics

This is geometry :)

Anyway i want to add a small segment to certain tangent for 7.2 million bezier segments at a specific tangent

like so:

our final marks were 70% function analysis and 30% spatial arithmetics. I was -- barely -- able to compensate for my E's in function analysis with my A+'s in spatial.

I see

So you see doing it by hand is not an option... but i have a bit weird environment so i can just not copy a premade solution in

A bit like a oblique extrusion

I don't even know what a bézier function looks like in equations. Nor would I understand if I saw it :)

Hahaa

P0 (1-t)^3+3 P1 t (1-t)^2+3 P2 t^2 (1-t)+P3 t^3

vhere t is 0 to 1

what I said... pure abracadabra to me

I tried to understand the wikipedia article once.

...and gave up quickly :)

the animations should be explanatory

you slide a point on a line that slides along the corner lines

and that line slides on a line and so on for as many levels of weight you want but this is the one you use.

that I understood, but I'm a beta: I want to understand the formulae. And that's just a bridge too far

thats what the foruma says

p0 and p1 ... are just teh controll point vectors

okay i give up

lol

the problem is, I'm not even tryin

so, please stop trying. I'm okay :)

I'll live

how are you, @joojaa?

Well im trying to catch up on work that should hsve been done ages ago

problems with browser

heres a video from the coridor just outside my door earlier today

Students needed to pass the courses first module by building a walker

cool :D

I dreamed of building things like these when I was a kid

why not build one now

its pretty easy

all my lego is at my parent's, who... might have given it away

LOL well if you ever happen to be in finnland gimme a holler

Oh, will do. I was considering visiting Helsinki in the next few years anyway

Make sure you do it during summer

uh, yeah, that was the plan ^_^

otheriwse theres nothing to see. Black is black in the rest of the world i suppose

ah, you guys still have to invent the artificial lights? :P

yes

we like it dark

pity about those aurorae, then

I feel obliged to share this job opening in TN: authenticjobs.com/jobs/22295/ui-designer/?ajp=4

It's Lonely Planet searching for a UI designer

yay! :D It's a kitty! :D

it's even a .gif!

hi @Alex Haven't seen you here before? shakes hands

Hi everyone

or anyone?
