      Hello (first post),

      I download a simple head model from the warehouse. I want to add a headband to it that conforms to the shape of the head. It is a 3D head model with countless polygons making up the shape. I cannot get "follow me" to do what I want. I tried to create a path by zooming in close to the head and drawing lines from one edge of each polygon to another completely around the head but "follow me" did not recognize it as a path.

      Any help in how to "wrap" a headband shaped model around a head and still conforming to the shape of the head would be greatly appreciated.

        Easy, use 'Tools on the surface' plugin.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          If you want to use Follow Me, draw a plane that passes through the skull on the centerline of the headband. Intersect it with the skull to get a path for Follow Me. Select all of the edges in that path around the skull and weld them together with Weld.rb. Make sure the path is in the same context as the profile for the headband and run Follow Me.
