jonidunno Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hello, I need help trying to bend a bunch of curves into a tapered like shape. The attached image will explain better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadstorm Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Guide Process SOP in Bend mode works for this. You just have to define a prim attr that you can use as a bend axis... for this it'd be crossing N and up (the "forward" axis of the curves). Check the attached file. xoxo bend_curves_out_toadstorm.hip 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadstorm Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Sure, you just need to figure out what your central axis is (in your scene it's just the Z-axis) and then figure out a vector from each point to that line... then cross that with N (the tangent of each curve) and you have yourself a bend axis.
