Curve Deform Any Mesh (not randomly or mathematically, but intuitively), Geometry Nodes Blender 3.1+
In this video, I’ll put together a geometry node setup, in blender 3.1+, to curve deform any mesh, not randomly but intentionally, not mathematically but intuitively & imaginatively, without bothering much about the underlying math. The workflow is non-destructive & generative so as to create multiple variations of the curved mesh.
There are ways to deform mesh randomly using the random value node or using the texture nodes, and there are ways to deform it using complex math nodes, but , in my opinion, this is by far the cleanest & easiest way to deform a mesh as per your imagination. This workflow puts all the control in your hands & no understanding of underlying math is required.
