Merry Christmas 2020 !

Great to see the tree again

Hi, I made another very simple X-mas tree. Everybody best wishes for next year

Thanks Willem. Like it very much. Could not resist and added some new link-snow-flakes made with PD-wb .
ps.: Did you know that you can use anti-aliasing in preferences-Display to get rid of the pixelated edges (See below)

In Austria you always have more snow than here in the Netherlands. I wish everybody the best wishes and a good health in 2021

Could not resist

If you want to turn it, here is the script I used for Roland's tree. You need a directory /tmp/images where all images of the animated gif will be stored.
Everything that shouls be turned, i.e. here Sweep and Body005 have to be placed inside a Container named "Part".

You may add the snowflakes falling .

Code: Select all

# create a Part container of all stuff to be turned, it will be referenced by its name "Part"
from PySide import QtCore
#?? activeView = FreeCADGui.activeDocument().activeView()
doc = App.ActiveDocument
baum = doc.getObjectsByLabel("Part")[0]

baseBaum = baum.Placement.Base

fileCount = 0;

def turn(angle):
  global fileCount
  fileCount += 1
  baum.Placement=App.Placement(baseBaum, App.Rotation(App.Vector(0,0,1),angle), App.Vector(0,0,0))
  Gui.updateGui()
  fileName = '/tmp/images/xmas%03d_%03d.bmp' % (fileCount,abs(angle))
  Gui.activeDocument().activeView().saveImage(fileName,485,505,'Current')

angle=0
end = -360
timer = QtCore.QTimer()
# timeout = 25
# step = 1
# -----------
# timeout = 50
# step = 2
# -----------
timeout = 75
step = 3
# -----------

def update():
  global angle
  angle -= step
  turn(angle)
  if angle <= end:
    # reset all to the origin and stop
#    angle = 0
#    turn(angle)
    timer.stop()
  doc.recompute()

timer.timeout.connect(update)
timer.start(timeout)

Here is an intermediate state, when I tried to move the Sweep into the Part and lost it halfway in one of the bodies:

That's somehow pretty nice too

Looks more like a happy new year after desinfecting the throats with some alcohol.

Looks more like a happy new year after desinfecting the throats with some alcohol.

My door seems harder to open, my stairs seem more wobbly, my driveway surface is less even, my driveway seems longer and more twisted, I made it to my mail box, checked it was empty walked back to the house sat down looked at my wife and realised she looks even more deliciously curvy than normal, and the room seems to sway a little ... but my throat is disinfected!

As long as there is only one mailbox it's not too bad .
