Variable scale
* I am after a method to distort an object (essentially the planar facade of a building) by applying a non-linear scaling factor to the vertical Y dimension. The grid shown in the screen shot should “thin out” as height increases and the load on the frame decreases. As a result the diagonal ribs would turn into mild curves.
* I have the intuitive feeling that there is a geometric trick to achieve just what I want, but I seem to be suffering from a mental block right now.
* Needless to say, I could divide the panel into separate horizontal bands and scale those individually (eg factors 1, 1.1, 1.2, ...). Also needless to say, this would introduce a stack of problems / artefacts which I want to avoid.
* Poking in the scripts department of the forum got me nowhere, though I could have missed it.
* Thank you for any hints.
