Introduction

  • Driven Loft between curves:

-Cyclics are not supported yet. -Supports Linear, Cubic and Hermite interpolations. Catmull is included but isnt right.

  • Birail between 3 curves:

-The order in which we select the curves and its direction its important to make this work right. -First select the profile and then the 2 paths to create the birail.

  • Arc Length:

-A small function thats calculates a curve length.

  • Merge Bezier Splines

-Join 2 bezier splines inside a curve.

  • Modify Nurbs Weights.

-The panel appears if we are on edit mode and select a nurbs spline. Object data section.


  • Subdivide or cut curves

Im working on more functions right now so this isnt finished yet. Ill let you know when i got more of them.


-It may raise some errors on specific situations at the moment but im working on it.

Some known bugs are: -If the mesh its driven you "cant" change the mesh's name. If its so, the driver cant find the object to modify it. Solve: give it the mesh the same name it had when it was created or delete the mesh and create it again. -If you create driven meshes, save your file, quit blender and reopen it without the addon loaded it raises errors. Solve: Open a text editor window, open the script into it and run it. Press "Update Fix"
