how do you position a point relative to another point? Aug. 10, 2016, 5:34 a.m.

Yes I had thought about the for loop but was hoping there was another way to directly access each point as you operate on it, rather than in the position state as it is input. maybe with vops or something the copy node doesn't quite do what I want. Say for example you want to add the previous point and the one before that to get something like the Fibonacci sequence. So $PT = $PT-1 + $PT-2 I will look further into for loops in vops. Thanks!

Hi,

I just can't get my head around this. I am sure the answer is simple but I'm struggling with the syntax.
I want to be able to create three points at origin then position each point by taking the position of the previous point then adding an arbitrary value to it so I was thinking something like this

point(“../add1” ,($PT-1), P, 0)+.1

In the x position would work but it doesn't seem to. All points seem to shift the same amount. Any suggestions much appreciated.
