Calculating distances between two points using geodesic paths

Bart ·

Patmo141 is working on a Python script to calculate distances on object meshes (so actually 'following' the surface). He incorporated it into an add-on that will allow you to measure the shortest path between two points on any object (see second video).

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
