Hello,
By GUI operate, we can only make plane fabric. The yarn path defined by Python can realize the creation of bending braiding unit, but the final fabric body’s surface will be cyclical since it consists of braiding units extending along the yarn path.
For objects with irregular surface like a hat, whose warp path at the same latitude may be clearly different, is there any other method in TexGen to weave it? Is it possible to weave it in a fairly large unit, what’s the maximum number of warn yarns or weft yarns in a unit? Is there any way to splice the fabric bodies extending from different braiding units all together?
All these questions are based on TexGen, sincerely looking forward to your reply, thanks!

Re: Questions About Knitting Variable Curved Surface Objects
Hi Punkin,
In order to create large textiles, assuming that they have a repeating pattern, you would create the unit cell and then specify a domain and repeat vectors to create a sample of the textile of the required size.
If you wanted to join parts of different models you would probably need to write a script which would take the yarn nodes from one model and add them to the yarn in the other. There isn't an automatic way to do this in the user interface.
We are currently working on specifying non-convex domains, eg a section of an arc which is then repeated by an angle to form part of a cylinder. We're using this for braided structures. I'm afraid that this is still being tested and hasn't been released yet.
Hope that helps,
Louise
