Hi,
I would like to move some vertices around cylinder, but how… thats the question.
I want transform path around cylinder like tihs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7daG2EHLoz0
The maker says he
Text was divided into 200-300 reference points, each point translated into polar coordinates around the cylinder. Don’t yet understand how… I managet to get the vertices and “transform” them to "polar coordinates, but doesn’t look right. Green one is the original path.
The code so far:
import bpy
from bpy import context
import numpy as np
import bmesh
def pol2cart(rho, phi):
x = rho * np.cos(phi)
y = rho * np.sin(phi)
return(x, y)
def cart2pol(x, y):
rho = np.sqrt(x**2 + y**2)
phi = np.arctan2(y, x)
return(rho, phi)
mesh = bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active.data
bm = bmesh.from_edit_mesh(mesh)
for vert in bm.verts:
print(vert.co.x, vert.co.y)
kala = cart2pol(vert.co.x, vert.co.y)
vert.co.x = kala[0]
vert.co.y = kala[1]
and if I get the right shape, how to rotate it round 0,0,0?
