I’m trying to make a beads that flow progressively smaller along a curve…is that possible? how would I do that?
you can see the image below of the curve with the smallest size above and larger size below. I know I can array them along the curve…but how to create the gradual size variation?
Short of Dividing the curve and manually placing each one, you will probably need to use Grasshopper for this.
If it’s a one-off, just do it manually.
If you need to do a whole series of these, then a Grasshopper definition is probably the way to go.
thanks a lot John and Michael for your replies.I have a quite a few to do, so it looks like I’ll have to learn grasshopper! been meaning to forever, so this I’ll be a good way to launch into it.
that’s an interesting suggestion Michael, to tween then, I’ll give that a shot first. thanks again.
This is very simple with Grasshopper. Take a look at some intro stuff if you are new. Variable scaling is like super basics, just make an effort and watch some tutorials first. Come back here with a file if you are having trouble.
