- +1. Hey, do you know if i could use this process to output all of those slices as 2d profiles I could then process as individual objects in Illustrator?Nairn
- I always watch Blender vids, but I've not really ever much used it beyond a light dabbling, years back.Nairn
- Yes you can. Follow this tutorial until you get to the part before he adds geometry to the curve. Apply the modifier to make the curves real objects...monNom
- ...select the curves and convert them to "grease-pencil" objects (2d). Then you can export as SVG or PDF.monNom
- Well that's my weekend sorted, thanks monNom! xNairn
- lol, curious Nairn have you dove into Grease Pencil before? It's a great way to lose more than a weekend or five.garbage
- Nice! I hope it works out for your. Just to clarify, when I wrote "apply the modifier" that was to apply the "Geometry Nodes" modifier to make the curves real.monNom
- That’s cool you got hyped on it. Everyone I sent that tutorial to already had ideas or made animations, which is bonusPhanLo
- Would you 3d print it Nairn?PhanLo
- Wonder if you could input a model as a node into to create the lines, I'll need to have a playPhanLo
- Laser-cut, Phan (hence slices to Illy). Yes, beyond what's done here, I'd be lookling long term to control the form. I need to get back into 3D and Blender...Nairn
- ...looks like it's set up well to kind of stand in the two halves of modeller and programmable demi-CAD. I fucking loathe CAD software generally.Nairn
- Nodes are pretty fun, once you get in a routine with them, starts to make more sensePhanLo
- This is awesome. I feel like I've started and stopped with blender like 8 or 9 times now. Can never stick with it for some reason. Nothing pulling me through.cannonball1978
- Turns out my old-ass Laptop doesn't want to play nice with Blender, so I wasn't able to get this running at home. Ho hum.Nairn
