About SplineMesh

hello.
How can I create a spline that follows the position of the object in 3D space on one side and sticks to the screen on the other side, like the red line in the video?
I couldn't make a sample with Cables, so I made a video with After Effects.

nice question! It becomes tricky but doable if you need your text to be in HTML. If you don't then it is a lot easier. I'll prepare a solution, let me know if you want HTML or not

thank you!
No HTML required.

I usually use https://cables.gl/op/Ops.Gl.Matrix.GetModelMatrix with https://cables.gl/op/Ops.Array.Array3GetNumbers and set Array3GetNumber to index=4 , this way i get the location of the object that i connect GetModelMatrix to

then you need to do the same for your TextMesh

and now you have 2 XYZ points that you can use to create an Array for the Spline

maybe there is a better way. Anyway here is what it can look like

thank you! it's great! I wanted to do this!
I learned a lot!

you can also add a Transform under the 3d model and then the GetModelMatrix after that..so you can easily adjust location of the spline point.

and for making the spline points array im lazy so just using ArrayFromNumbers

I was thinking of doing that too.
Thank you for letting me know in detail!
It's even more fun!
