The Simple Solution to Blender's Bezier Curve Problem 

Thanks man! Sounds like another great alternative, as an artist you can't have enough tools in the toolbox. I hope people read this and take it with them as well. 👍 I did mess around with booleans but couldn't get a pleasing result. That was because, like you said, the speed drastically slowed down. Then it is a consideration if you're willing too sacrifice speed for accuracy. In my project this was a relatively small effect, so not worth it, I can see how it is different for other projects.

Can u simplify The second way of doing that

@@the_devil_1230 Unfortunately, it's a bit complex. Basic concept, cut off the part of the sphere that is hidden by the cylinder, then align the remaining points of the sphere to the end points of the cylinder and use merge by distance to bind them as a single mesh. There are several ways to move the points, but the easiest is to use the "selection" of set position set to "Edge Neighbors = 1", this will get all non-manifold edges (edges with only one face) and move them to the nearest by using the "position" input of set position will be the "geometry proximity" of the cylinder. It's the most accurate, least computationally expensive method, but requires more human labor & understanding. I probably made a tutorial on this somewhere in my playlist... if not, I could probably make one.

@@eclecticgamer5144 Thnx for replying , i will search ur playlist

@@eclecticgamer5144 Thankyou for this reply. However, I don't understand how you merge the cylinder with the curve, since the curve is not a mesh.

Jup that's exactly what I would do now. 🤙

Ah Thanks Dude! I like the Froggy you made too! Do you print the stickers yourself, whats that like?

Yea this should be basic functionality, agreed! The way I look at it, Blender teaches us to be more creative with the tools we have. End of the day I still love using it 🤩

In my opinion, there is never a wrong way. However, you're right and I tried that as well I couldn't quite get the aligning right at the time. I probably did something wrong using the capture curve tangent when I was using it. So I decided to try this method, which gave me the desired results. I keep repeating myself because I really think it's important for artists to know multiple ways to solve a single problem. There will always be a time in production you need to improvise cause for some reason your trusted method isn't giving you what you expected. I hope that this lies a foundation for people to work off of, building an understanding of what's possible and how to go beyond just capping a curve. The same goes for your method, understanding the principles leads to creative applications, so I'm grateful you shared it.👍

@@rbettsx No worries. I'll take a look at the blend file asap. Thanks for sharing it🤙

Man! That's unfortunate, hopefully during next projects will you benefit from this though 😁

@@MVARTZ I'm sure it will :) I actually couldn't believe there wasn't a cap option. It seems such an obviously needed thing that I thought it must just be me not understanding.

@@LongPeter I know right🥴

Off course! 😉

I found that to be less reliable. Since there is no good way yet to add support edges to the ends. So in my experience the end round but always different depending on what resolution curve you use etc. Maybe when the add a bevel node in geonodes this good be the best solution

i'm working on an update for this video, so I'll try to include this too. Hope to see you there

@@MVARTZI will, sir !

Yup... Born and raised 😁 Glad you liked it tho

Sure that is also a good solution! Like Robin Betts suggested too. However, like I said to him it can never hurt to know multiple ways to achieve something. You can either bend both options into a new effect or there might be times where you just can seem to get one technique to work. This can be software changes or perhaps as an artist you forget how to do it when it has been awhile. Nevertheless it would be better to know an alternative way than waste time on something you know should work too. (In case of production deadlines for example) Good to know you're thinking along with us and are willing to share possible solutions for other artist here👌

How do you merge a mesh with a curve? I'd like to try this method but I'm a bit lost 🙂

@@linerk5925 there is a merge by distance node to do that. Works best if rings of curve profile and the semi sphere have the same count. And of course align

I honestly couldn't tell you, sorry

Happy you enjoyed it! I'm sorry but I don't understand the last part. Can you rephrase that, so I might be able to understand better.

@@MVARTZ I can't recall between the curve and the uv sphere, so when the material collides it creates a hollow error on the curve, it turns black at those mesh points. May be due to size problem

@@phapbinh4738 Hope you figure it out. I couldn't tell you what to do without knowing what you did and seeing the scene

@@MVARTZ I tried but maybe my knowledge is quite limited. What the remesh !

​​​@@phapbinh4738Hi, maybe too late, but just try to realize intances (same node: Realize Intances) and than try to remesh it. Than put your Remesh modifire over geometry nodes modifire and Set Material for your mesh in geometry nodes. Hope, that will help you!

I suppose that is possible, don't know the exact way to do it of the top of my head. I think it would involve resampeling the curve then multiplying the radius of curve and sphere with the length of the curve. And probably some clamping with a greater than comparison. Next time when I'm in Blender and think about it, i'll work out a short video.

I've had that too. I can't really pinpoint the issue without seeing the setup. Other then suggest you follow the nodetree and see if, indeed, you put in curve data, and use the proper profile curve. This has to be a curve not a mesh circle for example

I know right! Till then there are plenty of workarounds👍 Hope this becomes a feature sooner then later. Just as the font's UI could use an upgrade too🥴

Couldn't have agreed more🫢

I found it!! When you need to add a geometry node modifier right!

glad you found it

I forgot! thank you for the tutorial i made what i wanted with your help !!@@MVARTZ

@@BriceKoua-11-11 that's so awesome to hear thnx

I'm sorry to hear that! It's important to remember that everyone learns at their own pace, and what may seem fast for one person may be slow for another. 👍

That is unfortunate, thnx for the feedback I'll keep that in mind for next videos.

🤣

Haha nope it is just me. 😉 I do love practicing my robot voice though "beep beep, no humans allowed, beeeppp" Don't worry no offence taken. 😁

@@MVARTZ Oh I see!, glad to know it's you😄

The nodes you mean? I try to be better at that next time. So much to think of while recording

@@MVARTZ The whole interface. Properties workspace, etc. I'm watching in HD on a 41"(104cm) screen and there are two few pixels to use a magnifying glass. Just turn up the scale value in the preferences>Interface tab for tutorials.

@@NotSoMuchFrankly I'll try that, I work on a Huion Tablet so for me it's plenty visible on this scale. Thnx for the feedback. Otherwise I would've never thought about it. Hope to see you around🤙

That makes 0 sense to me, sorry. If you can rephrase so I could understand, that would be much appreciated

I agree it's all reletive 🤗
