I finally know how to efficiently create decorations that are bent along a rounded rectangular path. #openscad #creativecoding #3d #3dprinting

@matths Are you seriously generating all the triangles with OpenSCAD to polyhedron() it? 🤨 That sounds terribly complicated.
@nobodyinperson turns out it's not that complicated. I'm not the first person to do this either. Sometimes it's called sweep function. It calculates the triangles between each layer from a stack of polygons.
@matths I implemented something similar but with signed distance functions with sdfCAD:
https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/sdfcad#rotate_stretch
No idea how I would do it with polygons but okay.
@nobodyinperson I'm thinking about offering a course, would that be something?
@matths Sounds fun! Like a video tutorial?
@nobodyinperson not sure yet. Open for suggestions.
@matths Video with slow, explained OpenSCAD examples would be rad.
Harris Lapiroff@matths @nobodyinperson Ahhhh so similar to this function in bosl2? https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/skin.scad#functionmodule-sweep
Other-worldly Hugh@matths Nice! How?
@hughrawlinson what part of it or everything? I'm thinking about offering a course, would that be something?
@matths yeah I would be interested in a course!
@matths I would be interested in seeing the code for this!
@harris serious question: what would you do with the code when you've seen it?
@matths I don’t have a specific use case for this code, but I always find it interesting seeing other people’s clever OpenSCAD code. It often reveals techniques that come in handy for me at a later time when I encounter a relevant puzzle!
