Hi,
Let me first say that I am somewhat technically challenged. I've been watching videos and reading up on VEX to at least get a basic understanding of VEX. To me Vex is about as mysterious as the force is for a Padawan.
Today I was experimenting with Copy SOPs and some very basic VEX. I decided I wanted to change the size of the copied geometry (a polygonal circle) along a line and then skin the geometry. Then I decided to ramp the size of the circle along the line.
It all went well up until I noticed that when I changed ramp parameters, the end point scaled up and down. At the start point (point 0) the circle behaved like I wanted it to (not change size but stay at the default size I gave it). At the end point however the circle size kept varying.
How can I get the end point scaling to behave like the start point scaling? The attached Hip file might make things more clear.
Greetz, Rob.

Hi Rob,
You should find that dividing by (npt-1) inside the chramp() should fix things. So:
In your file npt == 9, so now when pt == 8 the division spits out 1 rather than 0.88888.
Hope that helps,
Henry

float pt = @ptnum; float npt = @numpt; f@circleSize = chramp("circleSize", pt/(npt-1)); // change to (npt-1) here! @pscale = fit01(@circleSize, 0.2, 0.5);
In your file npt == 9, so now when pt == 8 the division spits out 1 rather than 0.88888.
Hope that helps,
