Curvature Combs

Michael,

The latest addon 'Section' that you've made for us is AWESOME...a much needed and welcome addition to MOI. Thanks for making it!

Can I ask you to do us another favor?

I would love the ability to have active Curvature Combs on curves, to ascertain their smoothness / evenness before committing them to a model.
There is an addon made by another community member (can't remember his name), the addon was called CCC.
That addon displays a Curvature Comb, but it is not live, meaning a lot more work going back an forth to analyze a curve.

I believe Rhino has an active Curvature Comb script, would something like that be possible in MOI?

Cheers,
Toby

Hi Toby, a curvature comb feature will probably need to be developed in the core display code, not in a script.

Scripts are designed to be used as "commands" where the script does its stuff and then exits. It can leave behind new objects and edits to objects but it isn't set up to leave behind live code that would update when a curve is modified.

I do want to add in some more entry points for where scripts can get triggered but it is a pretty tricky area. Having a lot of those can tend to destabilize the environment.

Hi Toby,
there's a curvature node in the nodeditor perhaps that will help.
Maybe it could be made into a standalone script.
Cheers
Barry
