Hello,
I am looking to create a FlowMap for Farming Simulator 2022 with Blender 3.4.
For this, I use a plane that I want to color according to the coordinates of the normal of the points of a Bézier curve.
I succeeded in coloring my plane according to the distance with the curve but impossible to recover the normal of the curve corresponding to this point.
I thank you in advance,
Florian P
Hi, I’m not sure I totally understand what you’re trying to do. You’re saying “the coordinates of the normal of the points” - so do you need the point coordinates, or the point normals? and in what way should the coordinates map to the colors?
Please show a viewport capture with annotations, right now it’s a bit too abstract for me to figure out.

I would like the plan to have the color:
Red: the horizontal coordinate of the normal of the point closest to the curve.
Green: the vertical coordinate of the normal of the point closest to the curve
Blue: 0
Each texture point can know about the nearest curve point
Or about the nearest point of the kirvoy, on the normal of which the texture point lies.
I use Geometry Proximity to find the nearest point. So I have the distance and the position but I can’t get the coordinates of the normal associated with this point.
Do you know how to get the normal of the curve at a specific point?
Capture curve normal on points
Curve to mesh
Sample nearest → normal that captured before
I’m having some trouble with the last step.
How to match the point with the normal?
EDIT:
I try with Sample nearest.
