Hey Guys, I have a question that’s bugging me. I have a custom Spline that is in a cloner set to linear. I have 2 Mosplines as a child with the width changed and using the blend to create a thin to thick line of my spline. I was able to make it work only using the Mospline with blend but once I add a sweep there is no more blend. Can someone help me either find a better way or render out the Display Width on Mospline. Thank you.
This is the look I’m trying to do.

Here is my file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/29ke2dg2xyje50x/_LINES_4.c4d?dl=0
Thanks in advance.

Hi Marco R.,

Thanks for the file and using DropBox.

I hope I got your target correctly.

Thank you so much Dr Sassi! You did it. I will break this file down. thank you. I also found another bug. I have this file that works but when I try to recreate with the old file it doesn’t.

This one works

Thanks a lot, Marco R.,

But do you use this file:
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/H5x6QYSacE1A25Rij6yIApcIO6uf4dqcqF88L5wBTHq

I initially had a different file attached.

The key in this file is that it moves the Rail Spline away, hence the change in diameter of the Sweep.

All the best

That’s why I left the HUD there, Marco R.

I know that I can describe anything in detail here; however, it will be faster your knowledge if you explore the file on your own.
(Information v. Knowledge)
Project files are just great for that, they work, or they don’t. I hope that makes sense.

However, if something is not clear, I’m happy to explain anything or record a one-minute screen capture. Just ask.

Let me know if there is anything else!

Enjoy.

I just saw it. WOW I do agree I have all your files and learned so much from it. It was your file I was able to create this project many years ago.
This was it. https://jmrgraphics.myportfolio.com/river-monsters-youtube-mimic-page
