Bend Node - Houdini 18 and up

H18 bend node is more intuitive!


I wanted to see what I could do with a single line and the new bend node. Here are the results. Rather than using the bend node interactively I used expressions.

TIP: capture handle for bend type g (make sure manipulator is on to see capture handle)

A single line with a bend based on expressions gave the following results on the first gif below. Results of changing the bend from circular to slightly spiral by changing the capture region are on the second gif below.

Here are some specific frames:

The images at the top of the page are from these results as well as added a polywire and silver material.

A few additional experiments:

Some fun with polyextrude and facet node.
