• Lukas Tönne

General Discussion

• Curves object is not experimental any more and there is a new blog post about it.
  • D15407: Curves: Sculpt on deformed curves (WIP).
• 72501b544831: Geometry Nodes: new geometry attribute API

Patch Review & Decision Time

• D15423: Geometry Nodes: New Patch Boundaries node
  • Maybe it should be called “Face Set Boundaries”
  • We don’t use the term “Patch” yet, but “Face Sets” are a known concept.
• D15440: Geometry Nodes: New uv map based attribute transfer mode.
  • Makes sense, given Simon’s feedback is addressed (renaming sockets).
  • Everyone was fine with just keeping it in the Attribute Transfer node.

Help Needed

• Cut brush for curves sculpting.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be on Wednesday 27 July, 15:00-16 CEST (Your local time: 2022-06-29T13:00:00Z), which is 2 weeks from this meeting. Again it will be open for everyone interested. The provisional meeting agenda will be linked in the #geometry-nodes channel before the meeting.

Sorry if mis-posted this question, but what is the status of new curves system in terms of resampling or adding more control points.
I have found out that it is nearly impossible to sculpt a long braid due to insufficient control points in each curve and I have no idea how to increase it destructively.

Thanks!

Generally, you can use geometry nodes to resample the curves and then apply the modifier. There are also drawing issues though, it can happen that you have a high resolution curve, but Eevee draws it with a lower resolution anyway… That will be fixed.
