I am exploring the possibility of extending the Curvy Generator to achieve CAD-like lofting capabilities. Specifically, I'm looking to enhance the functionality of blending multiple cross sections along a path, similar to what you would find in a CAD software's loft feature. Here are the key requirements I'm interested in developing:
1. Mix more than two cross sections along a path, not limited to a binary mix between Shape A and Shape B.
2. Implement a weighted blend of these cross sections, where I can control the influence each shape has over the final extruded form along the spline path.
Additionally, I want to build upon the existing "Variable Mix Shapes" node within the Curvy Generator. I see this as a development of the current node, expanding it to handle multiple shapes and providing more nuanced blending controls.
Has anyone undertaken a similar customization of the "Variable Mix Shapes" node, or any other part of the Curvy Generator, for advanced lofting or blending of shapes? Any insights into the feasibility of this enhancement and suggestions on how to approach it would be greatly appreciated.
