[Request] - Waves - Longtime Lurker First Time Poster...

Krisidious

Hello kids... Been a minute to be sure... You're never far from my thoughts is an understatement... I miss this place and can say with certainty that I feel so out of touch with our SU world and just dumber in general for not being involved in this place, this incredible community. Alone we wander and toil... together we are legion.

Anyway... as usual I digress... Did I tell you I got shot? Twice... Lol... But that's a story for another time.

[Request] plugin Wave generator that will generate a wave emitting from a singular point and radiating outward in all feasible directions as it would in real life. This wave would also be adjustable by frequency as well as any other parameters logically expected. This would allow models to show wave interaction as expected in any plausible situation. For instance you could have a model of a house on a plot and then show road noise waves, solar waves or sound waves inside buildings.

Is this feasible? What are the implications? Is an infinite wave possible, would the x,y and z construction lines be useful?

Unfortunately I can't think of anything off-the-cuff.

On another matter, it's good to see you again man. I've found myself sometimes wondering what happened to you. I know you were shot, didn't know it was twice. Good to see you're a tough ol' dude.

Wow, so good to see you back!

There was a thread a while ago that explained what had happened to you — I'm so sorry for what you must have gone through in the meantime.

As for the waveform generator, have never seen anything close to that — but I wonder if MSPhysics has that capability? (can't check it out since I'm on a Mac) Hopefully AntonS, Fredo6 or TIG will chime in regarding the feasibility of such an extension.

You're such a valued contributor and we've missed your presence and posts here. Welcome back!

Miss you, first time poster! I was considering this for a fountain a while back, but the project was sidelined by the pandemic so I never got to that. A concentric pattern with decaying amplitude as it goes out.

Natale Zappia has a good start to what you are looking for here----> https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/446917d2-d4fe-4622-817a-9fbe297f72bf/nz-ripple

Maybe some functionality could be added...?

good to hear you're on the mend, mate!

Have you seen this?

I have not seen much... I kept following along here as much as possible but the lack of a 3D capable computer got to be where it was kind if like torture seeing what you kids were up to...

Right now I have a fair lap top but my hard knock life has it working like 50% of the time.

I've missed all of you too... this place, the debates, the incredible things created and worked on here.

It's been 2 years since the shooting and I'm pretty much 100% minus 5 sections of my intestines, my gallbladder, my spleen and my appendix... my left leg has some nerve damage but all in all I'm good thanks to modern Medical science, brave men and women from emergency services like the ER docs, nurses, emts, firefighters and police. They were amazing.

I did sneak out of the hospital after 6 days... but I felt like a certain nurse there didnt have my best interests at heart. I never went back and never had any more drugs for pain or infection after that day.

I have to say if I had it to do all over I wouldn't change a thing... I'd get shot again in a heartbeat just so I could see this world the way I do now. The outpouring of support, the people I've met, the people I already knew that I got to know better... So many people have shown me the side of man that I had almost forgotten exited...

I already had a live life for today attitude, but I was living those days for myself... the true meaning of life and the path to happiness and a fulfilling life is doing for others, be it man or beast...

And anyone can have it... I'm not suggesting the clergy or the peace corps, just seeing someone in need or someone that could use a hand or an encouraging word and being that person not letting the next person do it but stepping up and being that person. And what may be more interesting is being in need yourself, asking for help or just allowing others to help you... helping people feels so great that you can give that feeling to someone else by simply accepting their help.

I'm practically and technically homeless, my website is update is unfinished, I just barely keep my hosting going, my bike still isnt repaired from the shooting, I work cleaning hospital labcoats and curtains for a massive medical services company that pays all its Bill's very, very late so getting back on my feet has been a chore..

That said, I've never been so happy to be alive and comfortable in my own skin. The only thing I think would make me any happier would be having the housing projects and the comradery from this place again. This place always made me feel as if I were growing every day... learning, thinking, pushing my own boundaries professionally and personally.

You should all pat yourselves on the back for creating this place and making it what it is.

Much love to you all...

Here's some fun photos from my adventures.
