Follow Path

Overview​

Extrudes a profile mesh along a path mesh, creating a swept surface or tube-like geometry.


Inputs​

NameTypeDescription
PathMeshDataThe spine or path geometry along which the profile will be extruded.
ProfileMeshDataThe cross-section geometry to be swept along the path.
Close CapsboolIf true, generates geometry to seal the start and end openings of the extrusion.

Outputs​

NameTypeDescription
OutputMeshDataThe resulting extruded mesh geometry.

Parameters​

NameTypeDefaultDescription
FactorAnimationCurveConstant (1.0)Controls the scale of the profile along the normalized length (0 to 1) of the path.

Behavior Notes​

  • The Factor curve allows for variable thickness, such as tapering the extrusion at the ends or creating bulging effects in the middle.
