Tools for curves

curveTools2-20150322-2.zip (20.5 KB)

The new layout is more compact and, hopefully, more overseeable (yet still understandable):


Other minor changes:
. the displayed number of selected curves is now correct
. setting the origin of the curve to the start of the curve now operates on all (1 or more) selected curves
. some general code cleanup

Haha, i wanted ask you whether you could improve the UI, but because of respectness i didnt ask :slight_smile:
Thank you, it looks much more intuitive now:eek:

Thanks, tungee, I’m glad you like it.

And don’t worry about ‘respectness’ too much; if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this addon, then please speak up! :slight_smile:

Thanky you Guy!
Im testing it and enjoy it.
First question: Can i make a loft with 3 splines?

No, unfortunately not, ATM.
You could make 2 lofts, one with curves1/2, and one with curves2/3.
Multi-curved-generation is on my todo-list, somewhere, IIRC…

Hi all,

I’m very happy to announce that my curve nodes are now part of the official Animation Nodes master. So just grab the latest version of AN from it’s github page, and the curve nodes should be available without any further manual installation. Here’s a blend file to play with: curveNodes-20150503.blend (1.16 MB)

Unfortunately, this also means I will no longer be maintaining this Curve Tools 2 addon in its current (non-node-based) form. Well, it’s not that unfortunate, really, because we have regained ‘driven’ support, which we all have been wanting very much for a long time. I might even have a go at (re-)supporting nurbs curves, some day… :eyebrowlift:

Hi guy lateur,
I have this traceback with Blender 2.75


/usr/share/blender/2.75/scripts/addons_contrib/curve_tools/CurveIntersections.py:542: SyntaxWarning: name 'algoPOV' is assigned to before global declaration
  global algoPOV

My Blender is:
version 2.75 (sub 0), branch b’master’, commit date b’2015-06-10’ b’15:39’, hash b’bff8b5d’, b’RelWithDebInfo’

Ho i can trim, make boolean operations with nurbs?
thanks

great job, well done & congrats.
should we remove curve tools from contrib?

Yes, that’s probably a good idea, because there seem to be some issues with it when using the latest versions of blender, and I will not be updating this addon anymore.

Of course, I’m not the original author, that’s Mackraken, so you may want to check with him first on this, too.

Ye im ok too, ill let you know if i fix it.

Good Luck to you!
