I’m trying to get this sphere passing through lines (rectangles arrayed). I created a basic geometry node setup where the lines spread when the sphere passes through them, but it’s still not smooth. The problem is that once I animate the sphere, the lines shift differently every frame. Do you know how I could correct this problem so the lines move smoothly and the proximity is not getting calculated differently each frame? Thanks a lot in advance !
I believe the issue you are running into is that as the object you are offsetting from moves along the axis, the vector between is changing direction and amplitude which I assume you are using for the offset.
In the example below, I am operating a a series of arrayed curves which are later turned into mesh for convenience.
When calculating the offset, I am using the Dot Product with the Y axis to calculate which direction to offset, using the distance to scale the amplitude with a map range, then scale an offset along the y axis for the final result. This way we are only ever moving the points along a single axis (the Y axis) which results in a smoother offset than doing it relative to the object.
