Based on the fabulous class by entagma I decided to quickly put together a splineWrap deformer expanding on the concept they presented. Basically I added Control on Spline begin, Spline End, Offset, and a ramp control to scale along the geometry. I also made it so you can build your geometry anywhere (not the center) and in any orthogonal axis. You can find it here if you want:

if you are interested in the Entagma video, I really recommend it:

Why locked then? If it's build by free tutorial and could be easily recreated by anyone?

E.g. in our pipeline we don't allow locked third party assets for generic tools as they could go quickly out of sync or out of function due to bugs. So it's not possible to workaround them or fix them or optimize them for better performance.

Only exceptions are very specific and complex tools used only on that specific project.

Oops, just unlocked them….I uploaded it late one night.
It will probably take a bit until Orbolt update it…

PS: the reason why I locked it in the first place was merely because I will prefer to receive feedback and then update the asset so everyone enjoy the new free tool. But you make a good point, however if you find ways to improve it please share it here. On the top of my head I am thinking in adding a scale along the curve beside the current scale… that could be interesting.
