013 - Knitting a heart

Hey Michael! Is it possible to send me the image you were using to test? I can't see much without it.

Hi Paul, thanks for the tut. Im having an issue with the grids being to small when I copy to points to create the threads. In the tutorial you used the radii attribute of the bounds of each piece to procedurally adjust the grid size. However, I am facing an issue with my bounds. The bounds seems to be larger than the object for some reason. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I have uploaded photos here if they would help. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1X7L2uEiRZvY2VmWAzeTMOkZLyuWMuAZA?usp=sharing

Hello, at what point is it breaking? What do you mean you don't get any result? It doesn't animate? The geometry is gone?

Hi Paul, i've tried this tutorial using a font, I made the letters separate colors and imported the image. Once I get to the reveal part of the video I don't get any result. So I copy pasted the nodes in the project file down from the merge to the blast and I just get a giant mess, also the holes in my letter disapear...

Hmm, there are several ways you can go about this depending on the "rules" you want to use. If it's based on color, I'd probably expore setting groups based on colors and then use different sort nodes based on groups.. I haven't tried this, but I think it'll work. Let me know!

Hey! thanks for the great tutorial. I have a little question that I can't seem to figure out completely. What would be the best way to set the direction of the seam for different parts of the heart? let's say you want all the green parts die be horizontal, and all the red parts go diagonally? I am trying to accomplish it using the sort node at 15:00, but I can't get it to work. Thanks again for the great content

I had the same @Tom Romkes problem. I solved this using a Hole node after the Divide node.
