Ribbon self-intersection

by Ioanna Symeonidou

Nov 8, 2014

Hello Daniel, hello all !

Is it possible to avoid self-intersection of the ribbon?

I use to rows of vertices to be able to control the tangency, overall the bending behaviour works super nicely, if only I could avoid self-intersection..

Is there any way to do that?

    You have a very regular mesh, which will lend itself nicely to using the "Sphere Collide" force. Just extract all of your mesh vertices to feed into it, and find a radius for your spheres where they won't be able to pass each other (from your image, I'd start from a little less than half your mesh's shortest edge length).
