But we can take advantage of the flexibility of nodes to make the process much more visible. Currently Blender doesn’t distinguish very well between the two, because it implicitly changes a curve into a mesh.

One of the fundamental ideas of the changes is that it should be clearer when data is a curve and when it is a mesh. The current built-in attributes on curve data The New Nodes NURBS A more advanced spline type with different controls exposed.Poly A simple series of connected points.Bezier With control points handles, and handle types, each editable as separate attributes.Just like curve objects, three curve types are supported in geometry nodes: Where are we, and what does the future hold? So I thought it would be a good idea to give an update on the project. One of the last larger changes for 3.0, supporting the geometry nodes modifier on curve objects, was committed a few days ago. Developer Hans Goudey shares the results of the geometry nodes curve project, and future goals.Īdding a procedural curve editing pipeline in 3.0 has been a large focus for the geometry nodes team and community for the past few months.
