Mesh Wrapping with Geometry Nodes

In this tutorial we look at wrapping a flat(ish) mesh around a 3D surface by sampling the UVs using the new Sample UV Surface node.

This process is great for building facades, complex ceramics designs, fabrics and textiles and many more where the mesh we wrap starts flat and will conform to a form.

If you're looking for a method of "pinning" a mesh to a deforming object (for example a skinned mesh) then I recommend Ducan Rudd's video showing off his vulture wing setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0q7n13DwzQ

Hope you enjoy the session and Happy New Year!
