How to subdivide in one UV direction only?

Hi,

So to break down what I got, I have 12 wire lines (12 * 100 points) in a circle that I animate with some wind, I then lofted them, and to add some smoothness I subdivide them. It works, but I think it would be way more efficient to only subdivide in one UV direction only.

Would anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks,
/Anton

Well doesn't your line control the U direction and the circle you are “lofting” control the V direction? Just subdivide the line before you skin or sweep.

Hi,
use a resample node to have more points on your curves - so the lofting has more geometry along the wire!

True, I'll increase the points on the circle, thanks!

if you want to subdivide just one way of a part of your geo you can select the sides and add a polysplit node
