Curve Tool
Short Description
An interactive tool for drawing and editing curves and splines.
Description
The Curve Tool is the best interactive curve/spline drawer out there. It allows users to create and manipulate curves with various options and settings, optimizing the drawing experience for precision and creativity.
Properties
Base Properties
Draw Mode: Choose the way you draw curves
Filter Objects: Provide scene objects to use as filter. Use the filter type below to define how to treat those objects.
Filter Mode: You can decide to 'draw only' on certain objects, or to 'draw everywhere except' some specific objects by changing the filter type.
Curve Degree: Select the curve degree for the next or the active curve
Initial Smooth: Default smooth value for the created freeform curves
Min Spacing: Minimum pixel distance used for creating the curve
Hit Offset: Set a default offset to move the curves from the hit meshes
Create Mesh: A boolean indicating whether to create a mesh from the curves
Start Drawing: Click here to enter the draw context
Editing
Edit Strength: Multiplier used with MMB actions to influence the curves more significantly.
Avoid Smooth Intersections: When curves are drawn on mesh, smoothing might generate intersections. With this option on, the smoothed curves will avoid going inside meshes.
Mesh Options
Mesh Initial Radius: Initial radius used for the pipe mesh
Mesh Initial Max Radius: Initial max radius used for the mesh, to create random variations if different from the other one.
Radius Affects Offset: A boolean indicating whether the radius affects the offset of the mesh.
Mesh On Exit: Pick the behavior for the created meshes after you exit the drawing context.
