Hello! I am looking to generate a shape based on a curve’s proximity to itself, like in the example shown. I know this is similar to meatball and marching cubes but not quite the output I’m looking for. I will eventually use this to create a building based on a rollercoaster’s track, but I suppose that is not important at the moment. Can anyone help? Thanks!
hello
I think this question has already been asked. So it is helpful if you gave the reference of the video. It will me more easy to find what was said.
I think this kind of shape could be done using Cocoon or MetaBall. I don’t quite understand why the output of MetaBalls isn’t good for you?
For the meat ball I keep them for the meal 
, but tonight it is

I love a good hungry typo haha. @studiomyi on Instagram did the reference. The video you show here is perfect for what I want, however I’m not sure how to achieve this. The only success I’ve had with metaball is in more spherical outputs.
I did the animation.
The metaball makes sphere if only limited number of points are put.
Try to populate a curve with points then play with metaball you will see such shapes. You just need to put less points where you don’t want thickness. Vertical part in your example.
