Implementation Combination

We designed the Energy Park model so that the coordinates of the Wind Turbines and the Solar Plants systems would change accordingly to the width of the river valley. As the valley gets wider or narrower, the dam / tunnel / road / wind park / solar park move along. To this configuration were also added solar and wind integer gradients going up from 0 to 5.

Implementing the final combination presented many challenges. Whereas during the second assignment non of us had encountered bugs with Sverchok, we discovered a frustrating part of it during this group assignment. We discovered some instable aspects of Sverchok when using Blender on Windows: even if the logic nodes are impeccable, its associated geometric model doesn’t always appear. These bugs considerably slowed our team down.

We also realized that appending all the models on a single blender file slowed  the navigation down to a point moving the mouse became impossible. For this reason we decided to create Group nodes. For every individual infrastructure, we set important criterias as inputs, and the Viewer Draw functions as outputs. This operation considerably lightened the blender file.

Here is an example of a group node including the whole dam, with its length / thickness / height as input and Viewer Draws as out put.
