Curves Properties

The Curves Properties section offers a robust toolkit to adjust and perfect the look and functionality of curves in your projects. This section is essential for creating smooth and precise shapes, whether you're generating realistic cables, pipes, or tubes.

Resolution Preview & Resolution Render

• Resolution Preview: Allows you to set the resolution of curves in the 3D viewport. A higher resolution makes your curves smoother during previews, facilitating real-time adjustments.

• Resolution Render: Sets the resolution of curves for the final render. This option ensures optimal visual quality during production, even if higher than the preview resolution.

Stretch

• Enables instanced objects to stretch and conform to the full shape of the curve.

• Utility: Ideal for creating realistic effects where objects follow the curve precisely without unwanted gaps.

Bounds Clamp

• Limits the influence of deformation based on the bounds of instanced objects.

• Utility: Ensures that curve-induced deformations stay within specific limits, allowing precise and controlled adjustments along the curve.

Subdivide Curve

• Splits the curve into smaller segments.

• Utility: Increasing the number of control points allows finer manipulation and smoother curves. This is especially useful for refining shapes or adding intricate details.

Smooth Curve

• Automatically applies smoothing to the curve.

• Utility: This feature removes irregularities and sharp angles by softening transitions between control points, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the curve and making it easier to integrate into realistic scenes.
