CURVEmachine1.5

New in 1.5 - multi-island Blendulate, Align Pie, Clean Up and a number of other improvements

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

Blendulate - think of it as Bevel, Fuse, Unf*ck, Refuse, Unfuse and Unbevel all in a single curve editing tool

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.

Curve Symmetrize - new in CURVEmachine 1.3

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

Align Pie - new in CURVEmachine 1.5

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 - including multiple corners/islands at once
  • symmetrize a spline across its curve object's origin, or across the cursor
  • use the align pie to effortlessly align curve points in local, world, or cursor space
  • 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
  • clean up doubles, redundant colinear points and loose splines
  • 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
