I will show you how to obtain a point with different curvatures for each curve that cross it.
It can be only done during construction. It is easier with fazek's curvature tool replacement (see Scripting subforum) but canbe done with original LM curvature tool.
1) Create the curves that will pass by the same point. Create them apart not sharing the target point.
2) Modify the curvature of every curve at the point that is supposed to be the target point.
3) Put the target points one over other with the translate point tool. Press space to weld the points. The curves will maintain it own and individual curvature.
If you modify the curvature later with the curvature tool you will modify all the curves at the same time
Thanks Genete,
its a shame you cant change the curvature for a particular line by selecting the two points on that line instead of the junction point - you've shown it IS possible to have different curvatures for many lines on a point, so we just need to find a way to tell AS which line it is we'd like to tweak... hmmm maybe one for the scripters
Sets the curvature of all curves that pass through this point.
------- SetCurvature(ptID, curvature, frame)
Sets the curvature through a given point on the curve.
So in theory maybe you could set the curve of a point that had multiple curves. The problem is that the curve tool selects points. It would need to be changed to select a curve segment and then get the curvature of the nearest point. I think the current curve tool modifies the selected point curvature which is why ALL the curves change.
I have to check that one out because this is could be a fantastic feature to add to the curve tool.
Are we certain no one has already "fixed' this? Like Fazek or 7feet?
Yep - well spotted Genete, Fazeks curve tools DO allow you to do that by selecting the intersection point, plus the nearest two points on either side on a particular line.
NICE.
Fazeks tools are amazing and should be make sticky if they arent already.
Same with 7feets shape stack order tool that lets you see numerically a shapes order (and lets you select hidden shapes below! before this i was moving stuff around all the time) - THAT tool is on page 5 or something of the scripting forums and i think its one of the most important tools out there.
There should be a script page on the AS website to host all these forever!
i think the link does still work as it was only a few days ago i decided to start at the last thread of the scripting forum and 'rape n' pilage' it till i get up to date :p... (i didnt go through EVERY thread though, but found some mega useful things )
