Here is a circular array of curves I used to make a nice Loft shape
The twist is the result of twisting each curve and equal amount more than the previous one.
What I’m trying to do is create a similar twist from this shape
I made this shape by using an 8 pointed star shape and a wiggly curve Rail revolution rather than just a simple circle. The attached GH file shows how I went about creating a set of Loft control curves that look like this:
As I did in the first example, I rotated each of these curves by an equal amount, thinking I’d get a nice twisted result like above. But all I can get is terrible looking things like this:
The reason has to do with how the individual curves are rotated and aligned, but I can’t figure out how to fix this. I’ve tried all the loft options, but they don’t fix it. Rebuilding the curves doesn’t help. So I’m hoping I’m just missing some fancy technique I haven’t become aware of yet.
My overall objective is to have twisted horizontal layers for this basket shape.
The untwisted ones just don’t fit with the rest of the geometry.
