Been wondering how to build the enclosed shapes, they are a background being used for something else. Trying cloners and spline wrap, but know there is a better way. Maybe a sweep nurb, object in cloners? Not having much luck..  Any ideas.

Thanks, Jon Lewis

Hi Jon Lewis.

I have no scene file/image/information about it. IF the upload didn’t work here, please check your Cineversity Private Message [PM], I have send an upload link.

Cheers

P.S.: got the image…

sent in your DB, thought I attached a file to the original message, ohh well, thanks for talking a look.

Hi Jon Lewis,

Please have a look at this file

The rotation of each stripe, is based on the Plain Effector set to Deformer. Adjust here the rotation, and the Falloff/Field.
The Spline.Main has a single point in the middle, you can carefully craft results here, or:
Go to the Spline Wrap parameters Size and Rotation Spline fields.

I assume that the vertical “specular” stripe is based on something else. Photoshop or a one more object.

Enjoy

So cool, that helps. Let me play with that. Always so many ways to go!! Thxs much! Jon

Yes, Jon, there are often lots of options to do the same thing.

I had also the PolyFX in mind, perhaps that would be faster, but it felt more limited than to build a strip-object from scratch.

ENJOY
