Universal Pattern

I was refering to the 3D. If it was a projection of the UP, there should be a cube and no need to join the points.

Do you have an example of a action that is a cube?

The action won't be a cube, but a side of that cube, think of it like a mopping, sweepping (maybe I'm getting this more confusing????). It's like a plane of motion.

Path of Motion as vs. Line of Motion. Think a squeegee or winshield wiper, with movement along the entire length of the blade. This could be the movement along one side of the cube (inside or outside the cube.)

That's exactly what I was thinking about, the windshield wiper
Thanks

Green Dragon and others,

Many times I find myself drawing the Universal Pattern in classes and such, and the more I thought about it I was always told that the Universal will cover every conceivable angle, line, circle, etc...

So with that in mind, wouldn't the pattern if drawn or made as a model be just about solid in that every angel would be covered and there would be no gaps?

Thanks for your comments in advance. Good journey!

Yep, that would be a big "correct"!

Hmm I was thinking something more b-spline oriented.

Instead of spheres using b-splines to define the paths.

I don't have bspliens but if you have 3d publisher I did put together an animated version of of a 3-d universal pattern. I will see if I can save it as an animated gif? it took a while to do, a couple of years, but it's pretty cool.

I would like a copy of it, if you can get it animated as a gif. I don't have 3D publisher though.

Yep. Just like a big black dot. Hmmmmmmmmm.
