Solidify Path

3D Modifier  -  Transform lines in shapes given by splines

This one is the revert brother of ExtrudeShapeGeometryModifier Icon Extrude Shape . Solidify will construct a geometry around the generator edge. We could say that TubeLinesGeometryRenderer Icon Tube Lines is more or less a solidify modifier with a circle shape:

Solidify01 Solidify01

You can also of course solidify a 3D text, which make 3 methods along with ExtrudeShapeGeometryModifier Icon Extrude Shape and TriangulateGeometryModifier Icon Triangulate .

If you do so over a TextGeometryGenerator Icon 3D Text , change this inside of its parameters for better results.

When placed over a mesh, you’ll see some glitches:

Solidify03 Solidify03


Variables:

  • Shape: Shape in which the edges of the object will be transformed
  • Shape Winding Order: Shape winding order of the solidify path
