cadboi08 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hey I need help getting a ribbon-around-a-box effect. This is what I have. I want to kind of sweep the yellow rectangle along the white spline (path) but always be perpendicular to the box, so that it's actually wrapping it. If I sweep, the angle changes as it changes direction. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minks Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 one way to do it is to apply extrude modifier onto your path, than use shell for thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minks Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 and don't forget to check ''straighten corners'', in shell rollout.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadboi08 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks very much for the reply It seems to work fine for the first few segments, but then goes all crazy and no longer wraps the box. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
