Sweep/Loft With non linear transition rate

Post by Vasten »

I need to seep or loft between 2 objects

but I need the transition rate to be no linear

For exmaple, imagine the image attached was a loft

It transitions between the to faces at a no linear rate

I need to do it with some complex shapes

for this kind of shape it is better to make a trapezium with a curved side and "Revolution"
you can vary l1 , l2 , h , and R
this flow will be suitable for Schml: there are only 4 lines :lol:

for example

here is a sweep with a curved path

butin the picture only the left side edge is what i want

i want all the sweep walls to be curves oriented the same respective to the center

a non linear transition rate is the easiest way i think

You can have intermediate sections controlling the transition from one end to the other.
