CURVEmachine can be seen as MESHmachine's little brother. It aims to make POLY and NURBS Curve editing more flexible, and like MM's fillet toolset¹, makes working with curve radii/arcs and non-circular blends essentially non-destructive.

The main tool in CURVEmachine that makes this possible, is the Blendulate tool, which allows you to create curve radii/arcs (or non-circular blends), change existing ones or merge them back to a single point again.

Beyond that, there are additional useful tools, such as Flick Symmetrize and a Curve Knife, as well as a number of other goodies.

Features

• add a single point poly curve at the cursor's location to quickly start extruding a curve
• create, edit or undo curve radii or non-circular blends
• symmetrize a spline across its curve object's origin, or across the cursor
• slide a curve point along its previous or next segment
• merge to the last selected point or to the center of the selection, including across two splines
• knife cut curve points into splines, exactly where you want, or split splines into multiple
• shuffle the gap of a spline to another location
• reverse a spline's direction in style
• adjust curve thickness, extrusion and resolution, and toggle spline cyclicity
• interpolate curve point thickness and tilt
• connect two splines
• effortlessly convert POLY and NURBS splines
