Oh no, nothing genius

Oh no, nothing genius hide-in, at least from my point of view, and that means its not the eligible source to learn from, there's why I encrypt the code :)

I wonder why you would

I wonder why you would encrypt a funny little script like this? Is it an epic algorithm of D00M you are using to generate the knobs? :-P

Thanks Fajar, I glad you

Thanks Fajar, I glad you liked my script. Usually people rarely share more than one plugin, and creating a separate category for 1-2 plugs seems pretty unsorted to me, but my shared plugins become 6 so now has sense to sort them :)

I attach to the list new edited version (KnobAnubisPrimitives.mse) that will appear into "Anubis Primitives".

I'm not sure if this notice is required but just for safety I'll insert an install note:
The new version has the same ClassID, that means you can install only one of them.

Enjoy

I'm also thinking about a variable number of holes. This can be done easily with boolean operations, but unfortunately, the end result (after smoothing) is lamentable :) I may give more time on this someday.

I think you have too much time :D But when I ever have a need for knobs, I now know where to go!

Never get low & slow & out of ideas
