7Losses Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Probably the mother of all dumb questions but how do I extrude along a curve properly? I've tried all the options I can think of in the polyextrude node. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7Losses Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yeah I was actually following that exact tutorial! But stopped at 1:20 because of the strange shape that gets extruded. Here is the hip file. curvy.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ril Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 that's not the main intend of the polyextrude. There's many other ways, some a lot more adapted to what you seem to want (from your first post pic, as I can't open your hip now). easiest : make your curve and plug it into a polywire. or go the nurbs way if you wanna control the cross section shape : make a curve, make a cross section, and plug them into a sweep.
