Hello there!

I have this splinewrap texture problem:

I want to grow a cube along a spline using a splinewrap but the texture should not stretch. My plan is to grow a wooden path and the texture should stick where it is on the geo when its animating on and not slide alone the path as the grow happens, like it is doing right now.

I already tried animating the tiling in the texture tag but that cuts of the caps of my object.

It would be ideal if the growing geo would just reveal the final UVs and not stretch the UVs with the grow

Any help is highly appreciated

Hi visutainment,

Here is an example file:

Please note the offset setting of 100% for this example.

The Spline Wrap takes the object as it is and has no influence on the UV at all.

All the best

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I need! Perfect!

You’re very welcome, visutainment, thanks for the feedback.

P.S.: I have had used a lot of Intermediate points, just in case.

Visutainment,

If possible, I like to give at least one alternative. Following your input of scaling the UV data, I have had set up a PoseMorph with a UV morph.

If you have any questions, please let me know, I’m happy to look into it.

My best wishes for your project.

Your commitment is fantastic, thank you so much, this one also opened up another way for me.

Thank you very much for your reply, visutainment.

I believe that having more options is never a bad Idea.

Cheers

Hello Dr. Sassi,

I have another question regarding this topic.

I have a very specific case where I have to reverse the splinewrap and use the “from” slider but I can not find out how to do the correct math. Can you please have a look at my file? I built the animation I need in the file you provided but it doesnt work like the one you did before.

Thank you very much!

Hi visutainment,

Thanks for uploading the file.

Is this what you are after?

The division in the problem marked part was on end: 1/0=∞ and anything close by lead to a stretch, besides you wanted to have the reverse anyway.

Let me know if that works for you.

Cheers

That was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I just couldn’t come up with the 1-“from-attribute”. My math comprehension is simply not very well developed :(

Thanks for the reply, visutainment. Great that this works.

Even if it is simple when you see the solution, to see the texture stretching and thinking about a countermeasure is kind of weird.
I admit. Especially before breakfast.

Enjoy.
