Weaving Texture/Tween Curves

[helenwiehr (helwie)]

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to create closed curves on this surface, between two boundary curves. After that, I want to offset the curves and loft them to create a wave-like structure. Maybe there’s another way to do this, but unfortunately, I’m already stuck on creating the curves. Can anyone help me out?

Hello
as it is a surface it is better you use UV

For the groove using the surface parametrization seems also better.

you could use my tools in Nautilus plugin to do the tweening. To my understanding Tween in Pufferfish and Tweening doesn’t take into account Surface/mesh …

Tween curves on mesh using Nautilus plugin

Combination of various tools from Nautilus plugin. [tween 3D on mesh] [tween 3D on mesh2] It is a bit similar to the Heat Method I didn’t compare with Tweener but it seems similar except it is in 3d. [tween 3D on mesh5] [tween 3D on mesh4] [tween 3D on mesh3] Arm brace [tween 3D on mesh6] In order to explain that, here a little script. A mesh is created here with 2 holes. The components in the middles allows to put some weights on each vertex of the mesh. 0 is on the border of th…

I have also a tool that makes grooves BUT it needs a quad mesh with quads well oriented

Perfect. Thanks, Laurent. I will test it.

For the record here some outputs of Groove tool, In order to be more useful I must add to Nautilus a tool to orient the quad faces with curves or angles

Nautilus plugin

Version 0.8 published I added my version of Curve Divide Distances (work with linear search), thanks for the interface (wrap), I also implemented yours but it stays on my PC but you could surely make a plugin. Just an advise, separate gha from the tools, so make a library.

Pattern Challenge: Wave-Like Creases

A bit more better, for sure a C# script allows some more robust grooves. It is so simple it must exist in a plugin (mesh+, Pufferfish …) [image] [image] [image] [image] Rapid explanation, understand who can understand I take a quad mesh face and I subdivide it and displace it Lets say alpha is a coefficient that is 0 on point A, and 1 on point B [image] Interpolated points between A and B are calculated with For the number of subdivision i from 0 to n-1 alpha = i/(n-1) point = ptA …

Hi again! I’m trying to somehow integrate a curve attractor into the script. I want the surface to stay flat, and the waves to slowly morph out from it. Would that be possible – and how could I do that?
Thanks in advance!
