twist in curved tape
Hi everyone,long time no see. I have a little problem in Houdini. Assuming there is a curve, resampled, transformed,merged and skined,to generate a Tape. Now some of the tape face should be twisted. So how can i get each pair of points and rotate them (their center point is the rotate center and there skined point normal define the construction plane)
thanks in advance.

If you use a Sweep SOP and sweep a line along the original curve to produce the “tape” surface instead of skinning two curves together you can use the Twist parameter, no?
