Variable Curve Offset

by Matt

I have a list of closed curves that I'm trying to offset from a range of numbers defined by the distance away from a attractor and then reverse this list and so on in which it repeats itself to supply the offset curve component values. In effect creating a wave of values that offset the list of 400 or so curves. I'm relatively new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Does each curve have a wavy offset in this scenario? Or is each curve a uniform curve but varied from the other curves?

    If its the wavy answer then you will need to create a new curve based on the control points of the base curve moved out by a defined vector. Or if the control points are not enough then divide the curve with equally spaced planes to get the required accuracy. From these planes you can derive the perpendicular vector and then apply a Factor of the attractor point distance to set its length.


    For Multiple Curves the definition does not need to change just select more curves for the input
