For more complex cases, you might consider forgetting about the original curve altogether, and just using some selection of indices on the mesh, after its creation. | |

First - nobody else can find your questions in comments, so the answer would be "just for you" and not for all (because the title doesn't reflect the new question). Second - you may ask as many questions as you like. Third: You "kind of" emotionally force the one who answered to answer a second question...although this one is answered already. Thank you. | |

| Aug 22, 2022 at 23:03 | comment | added | Ben | Thanks a lot for this detailed answer ! But I'm encountering another problem I thought easy for me to resolve. I want to rotate the spikes by using the spline as pivot point. My first thought was to capture the field position of the points of the curve before the set position and plug it to the pivot point of a rotate instance node like shown here imgur.com/6eb8wF2 I'm really sorry, I'm really struggling with vectors. @quellenform Thanks for your help again :) My growing plants animation is almost done, I'll be able to share the blend file this week if all goes well ! | |
