Frenchy Pilou asked about orientating arrays of objects to surfaces... https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=11019.1 ...and it got me thinking.

I'd like to be able to "drop" a grid array of points to intersect a bunch of surfaces. Essentially making a height map(?) and then I'd like to make a surface from those points.

Basically, I want to drape (or stretch) a cloth over multiple surfaces (and possibly objects) in a single direction.

Thinking about it deeper, though not as crucial, I imagine a grid of quads being produced that some subD smoothing could be applied to.

FYI, I've used some of Max's scripts, but not all of them. I use MoI 3.0.

Any input is welcome... except the one that goes, "you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny". ;-)

Hi Cody,

re:

There are some script functions added in version 4 for dropping points to a curve or surface:

There is a Rhino command called "Drape" that can do that.

I suppose that you have seen the _Cloth by Max Smirnov ?

Is there an English version?

Yep! :)
