MagicaCSG 0.6.3 Beta: Bezier Curves with Variable Sizes and Local Symmetry

Variable Sizes

• Bezier Curves can assign variable sizes to each control point now, no more global Line Width and Taper.

• The sizes are quadratically interpolated which has C1 continuity.

• It has the same size constraints (V/U/L) from spline. V for variable sizes, U for uniform sizes, L for linearly tapered sizes (as the old Taper).

• You can select a control point on the 2D/3D Bezier curve and then change the corresponding size by the scale gizmo.

Local Symmetry

• You can enable Local Symmetry (was previously Rhombus) to create symmetric Bezier Polygon/2D/3D Polylines.

• (Symmetry Y can also be applied to Triangle and Joint shapes to create Rhombus and Football shapes).

• (Symmetry Z can also be applied to Extruded shapes with cone properties to create two-sided cone/beveled shapes).

• The first and last control points will be fixed on the axes. You can also change their continuity to C1 to make the shape boundary smooth across the axes.

• For Polylines, the control points are limited in the positive regions.

• You can enable "Display Mirror Plane" (or CTRL+M) to display the mirror axes. When you select one of the control points, the mirror plane will switch to the local mirror axes from the global mirror axes.

Fine Tune

• You can specify the precise size and position of control points by values in the Gizmo panel now (when points are selected).

• You can also adjust parameters for Splines and Helixes there.

TO DO

Currently, the pivot of Bezier polygons/polylines can't be modified to make symmetric shapes working, which is inconvenient when the vertices are far away from the local origin. This will be improved in the next update.
