Title: size tiles
Post by: piergiacomo on April 26, 2022, 11:20:23 AM

Hi, i need some help regarding how to maintain the size of the tile always the same all along the object, I am using a 2s1 array with a circle for x spline and a y for shape the object.... the tile is changing size alonge the curved y spline, getting very small at the end upper part... is it possible to do it with this operator? thank you

Hi.
I think it would be difficult to get what you want with A2S.
I would go with a different approach, something like in this tutorial:

Not quite sure how angles will be controlled at the momemet but I guess I will introduce some nesting in play. I don`t have 3DSMax at the moment so I can`t try it.

I thought that could be achived in some way in A2S...

The issue is that when using a 2D array with an X and  Y spline then the number of segments used in rows is determined once - by the initial size of the Y spline. There's not an option to calculate the number of segments calculated in subsequent rows independently.

Cheers,
Paul

That makes sense... thank you for the technical explanation. how would you suggest  be the best way to shape it?
