Surface deformation help!

Hi guys,

I try to deform a surface by creating a Grid that responds to curve and point atractors.

The atractors deform the surface by affecting the Grid points on the Z direction.

It sounds simple but i cant fond any simple solution. can anyone help me please?

A. I cant fid the simple battery that will call from the Gris the closest points to the curve without changeng their location on the Grid,

B. How can I reconstruct the Gris from the New set of points and build a surface from them?

please help, hope you ynderstand my problem :)

using the curve closest point you can find the distance from the point to the attractor curve. this component does not change the the location of the initial grid. it just outputs the projected point to the curve. you can use you initial grid and the distances output from the curve closest point component.

for the surface reconstruction you need surface component found in surface/freeform tab.

you can study the tutorials found in the tutorials section, they cover your question in a step by step exercise.

cheers
