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.
