Conform Between Surfaces
Fill a continuous field (e.g. a TPMS expression) into the gap between two surfaces that share a UV domain. The warp is baked in real arc-length model units, so author the lattice frequency in the content expression (model units). Output is one bounded implicit.
Inputs
| Name | Nick | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field | F | Field | The continuous content Field to fill the gap with (frequency authored in model units, e.g. a gyroid expression). | |
| Surface A | A | Surface | The first boundary surface. | |
| Surface B | B | Surface | The second boundary surface (same UV domain as A). | |
| Resolutionoptional | Res | Integer | 50 | Warp fidelity: grid nodes across the surface extent. The grid auto-extends to cover the gap at the same fidelity. Higher = finer warp, slower bake; not the final mesh. |
| Uniform Layersoptional | U | Boolean | True | ON (default): normalise the gap to its average for a FIXED number of layers from A to B everywhere, so the cells stretch where the gap is wide and squeeze where it is narrow. OFF: the content tiles in real model units across the gap, so the number of cells through the thickness varies where the gap is wider/narrower. Layer count = average gap / your content period either way. |
Outputs
| Name | Nick | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implicit | I | Implicit | The output implicit. |
Example definition
A Neovius lattice filling the gap between two surfaces
Two curved surfaces with the same UV layout bound a Neovius sheet lattice, like the core of a sandwich panel.
Try
- Drag f to change the cell size: the period is 2π / f.
- Drag t to thicken or thin the walls.
- Toggle Uniform Layers to keep the same number of cells through the thickness where the gap changes.

What the component may report, shown as a balloon on the canvas.
| Level | Message |
|---|---|
| Warning | Wire a valid Surface A. |
| Warning | Wire a valid Surface B. |
| Warning | Surface A and B have different UV domains: the gap morph may be skewed. Reparametrize them to a shared domain for a clean result. |
