Node Points
Node points area is used to control the node position and its handles manually from the editor, this can be useful in case you’re seeking precision in positioning your nodes,
Node Settings
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal | Normal value of the selected node, the value is set to zero by default, it varies from -180 to 180To visualize the normals in your scene view, you have to enable “Helpers” which can be found in the "Settings" section, |
| Speed | Speed value of the selected node The speed variation [0,100] is represented by a spline color variation, red color means that the speed is minimum at that position, if color is green or gray then speed is maximum |
| Node type | The selected node type, Free ,Smooth, broken |
Shared Node Settings
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| Shared node type | There are 2 types of shared nodes in Spline plus, Random: represented by a purple sphere, it is used when you want your followers to randomly pick the next branch to take Info: The random branch picking selection will be done between branches 4,3,5 for the example below, branches 4 and 5 are going to be excluded because of the wrong curvature they have, so the only choice left is branch with key 3 In this new example below the random branches picking is going to be done between branches 5,3,4. All branches curvatures are normal in this new case, so all the options are going to be taken into consideration. Defined: represented with a Blue sphere, this is used to predefine the branch you want your followers to take,You have 4 branches to setup, Left , Right, Forward and backward, if a field is left empty then branch picking choice will become random Ps: to add a branch index, you need to first select the branch from the scene view then click on , the branch key will be inserted automatically into the text box. |
