Loft through a stack of profiles

In your harnessMesh algorithmMIT

Skin a closed solid through a sequence of closed profiles, resampled to equal counts by arc length and aligned to avoid twisting, with capped ends. Use it for bottles, hulls, towers and organic forms.

Render of Loft through a stack of profiles — The render its check recorded in Godot 4.7.2, 256 by 256 pixels.

What it takes and gives

Entry points: resample_closed, align, loft, demo_profiles, build, main
Parameters: shape, samples
Complexity: O(profiles * samples^2) for the alignment search
Axes: +Y up, metres

Limits. Profiles should be planar, simple and stacked without crossing each other; the alignment tries every cyclic shift (quadratic in the sample count). Corners are kept only when resampling lands on them. Side quads between non-parallel profiles are not planar.
