Yeah in our case, it needs to be ICE-based. We've working on a toolset for creating procedural buildings, and there are a couple of sections that would need to extrude a profile along a path. I think we can look at Fabricio Chamon's tool and get some inspiration... -Tim On 10/31/2013 2:22 PM, Ponthieux, Joseph G. (LARC-E1A)[LITES] wrote: Tim, Can you use the basic Extrusion Along Curve modeling commands in Surf.Mesh or Poly.Mesh? Or are you strictly limited to ICE? Does it have to be mesh or surface? I think that while its possible, in ICE, to do what you want with polygon topology, it may not be possible with NURBS. You can extrude strands along curves if that is useful. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.

Sorry if this is basic ICE, but is there a way to extrude geometry along a curve? We're trying to avoid using strands at all, since we're just doing some modeling operations and don't want to have to manage extra pointclouds.... Plus curves gives us more artist-friendly control... -- Tim Crowson Lead CG Artist Magnetic Dreams, Inc. 2525 Lebanon Pike, Bldg C, Suite 101, Nashville, TN 37214 Ph 615.885.6801 | Fax 615.889.4768 | www.magneticdreams.com<http://www.magneticdreams.com> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Confidentiality Notice: This email, including attachments, is confidential and should not be used by anyone who is not the original intended recipient(s).
