Leap Motion Ribbon and Cylinder

Thanks to @Bodysoulspirit for the new Get Object Vertices and Make Triangle Strip nodes I’ve been able to remake an old favorite of mine.

I find getting all the points into the correct order for Triangle strips is really difficult! Finally think I’ve succeeded with this one, no multiple faces or overlapping weirdness. Is there an easier sorting method than what’s contained within my Triangle Strip 2Q subcomposition?

Instructions

Put the Triangle Strip 2Q subcomposition into your User Library Modules Folder.
Requires Get 3D object Vertices node https://community.vuo.org/t/-/6514
and Make Triangle Strip Object node https://community.vuo.org/t/-/6510

You don’t need a Leap Motion to run this, I’ve set it up with waves for the position, or you can hook up the smoothed leap hand position.
