Loft relaxation in Kanagroo

Hi guys,

I gave set up the following definition to try to relax a loft I created between two curves.

The definition seems to have two surfaces instead of one which I really don't want. I have attached a sketch to show the desired results.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Tom

I don't think there is any major problem with your file. It just seems like you forgot to turn off the preview of the source mesh.

Ah yes! That was the problem, thanks very much. I'm wondering whether you would know how to control how "curved" the membrane is and the best way to control this? Thanks, Tom

Right now, the springs are set with a rest length of zero. If you were to take a percentage of the original curve lengths instead (e.g. 25% of curve length), then the mesh won't relax as tightly.

Brilliant, that's helped a lot. I also lowered the U count to the original mesh which created less curvature. Thanks again. Tom
