procedural plates

[quarel]

hi there guys!

little head-worm for me.

I made stairs- plates. But very long time-not-procedural way. (see attachment)

I'm surely that it could go any more effective way. Please can someone try to show me how?

What if I would like to go from Square plate to triangon plate. Or whateaver two shapes blend between themselves?

Try a copy sop!

For the shapeblend, try this:

Here Dalibor, try this as well. NURBS skinning.

hey macha,

the stairs 2 is much better. Something that I was looking for. But not completely. This plates are a little curved or not horizontal straight.

Of course I tried copy sop:) but it wasnt exactly what I needed.

First and second plate was different shapes.

Also I'm going to study "shape deformation" thread. Looks interesting.

Exactly as there: your last post :

how to make plates from converted COLUMNS in this case? the best procedural way:)

I posted it here a little modified hip file and prtscreen.

Thanx a lot !

first of all

to make blendshapes SOP work correctly you should have the same number of points on each input, which is not the case in your file

this is easy with resample SOP but

to make plates you need all your curves to be closed, now you have open circle

to keep sharp edges on the X shape I resampled it by edge then just used final point count to resample circle

look at the file if it's what you want

hey tomáš,

that is maximally cool! also for fabrication.

Thank you!
