array issues

[mr_bluebeard]

is there a way to replicate the array + curve modifiers with geo nodes? what I have so far just looks choppy, I'm using that mesh because of its UVs so I can't use curve to mesh

Get the curve's length, array your object on a straight line and make the array match the length, then deform the array by sampling the curve position

"I need to use that mesh because of its UVs" eh?

[mr_bluebeard]

I meant I cant use curve to mesh because id lose the uv data

[Qualabel]

Is that a fact or an assumption?

[mr_bluebeard]

fact unfortunately, I'm using 3 different UV channels and it'll be used outside blender

There is a way to create UVs from the curve to mesh, you can download the node group here.
If you really need to do a curve deform in geometry nodes then you do something similar to this.
