Flowify for Blender

What is Flowify?

Flowify is a Blender add-on for 3D modelers that maps an object, called the Source Object, to a surface object with evenly spaced four sided faces and four corners, called the Target Surface. A flat reference grid object called the Source Grid is used to guide the add-on.

All these objects are created by the modeler themselves as regular objects, and the add-on uses these objects to generate the result.

This enables the creation of interesting objects that could be challenging to model otherwise.

See the Overview Video or read the Step By Step guide for how to use.

It is based on the Flowify Sketchup plugin of the same name, which is in turn based on the Flow Along Surface (MoveAlongSurf) command in Rhino.

Features

• Change the Source Object and the result will be automatically updated.
• Change the Target Surface and the result will automatically update as well.
• Materials are also copied over.
• Use on regular objects, instanced objects and text (As long as they have deformable topology).
• Configure a Flowify modifier with additional options afterwards.
• Use optionally in Blender’s Quad View mode.

Please Note

• The deformation will only be as good as a Source Object’s mesh topology: The mesh needs enough vertices and faces for it to deform well.
• See the differences between this and our other surface matching add-on Conform Object in the FAQ here.
