Modern facade, paramtetric geometry node facade

Hey there.

How to make a facade containing only those vertical stripes as in the attached reference?

My model (as in the attachment) is only a simple mesh with a subdivision modfier.

The best case scenario would be to make a geometry node setup based on 2 curves - one would be the highest level (highest horizontal edge loop) and second would be the bottom edge loop.

Between these 2 curves, the geometry would be generated as in the reference colorful picture.

Option B might use some specific subdivision so the subdivided edges generate only in vertical direction, not in horizontal one.

Any hints on how to do it?

In the worst case, I am gonna just use UV projection and texture to create the wanted effect.

Thanks in advance guys,
Enjoy the week.

Maybe you guys might be able to help?

It’ll be hard to keep things vertical if the top and bottom curves aren’t the same length… things will go out of phase

But something like this should do the trick… Creating a curve-to-mesh from the bottom curve then setting the end-positions to the sampled top curve. The add → fraction nodes are there to adjust the phase.

Hope that helped.

Thanks!
Their length will differ, but vertex count could stay the same, that might help?

Yes, that how it is in my example.

Ok, thanks

Here’s what I came up with.
Lines are upright-ish, but may result in errors in some cases.
