Morphing a component around an organic form

Hi all;

I am trying to morph a component around an organic form as per the attached file. The way I am going about it is to subdivide the surface domain, then create a bounding box for the cells, with 2 attractor curves to scale the component down towards the ends. It works fine.

My question is: can I have the component to morph diagonally on the surface, say following the diagonal lines there, and still vanishes towards the ends?, Or can I morph it to follow a diamond pattern, and not just bounded in the regular U V cells? Is there a way to distort the bounding boxes created by the subdivisions cells?

Hello Zayad,

do you mean something like this (see attached file)?

Best,

Hi Martin;

Thank you for this.

I actually wanted the component to follow the diagonal lines I had on the surface, and not the bounding boxes which follow the UV directions. Is is possible to create bounding boxes following those diagonal lines and not the UV regular direction, and still have them vanishing in scale towards the curves attractors?

Many thanks.

Hi Zayad,

yes it is. :)

Hope it is like you expected.

Best,

Martin.
