Functionality

Makes a tube or pipe from a list of matrices. This node takes a list of matrices and a list of vertices as input. The vertices are joined together to form a ring. This ring is transformed by each matrix to form a new ring. Each ring is joined to the previous ring to form a tube.

Inputs

  • Matrices - List of transform matrices.

  • Vertices - Vertices of ring. Usually from a “Circle” or “NGon” node

Outputs

  • Vertices, Edges and Faces - These outputs will define the mesh of the tube that skins the input matrices.
