CURVE TO CURLS
Picture
A tool to allow converting of curves to curls with layering management. Please visit this video for demonstration
  • Last updated: Pre V.13.06

Curl Layer UI

Create Curl Layer:
  • Select curve(s), and click on this button to create a new curl layer.
Refresh List:
  • Sometimes a layer is deleted or when a new Maya scene is opened, click on this button to refresh the layer list so it can pick up correct layers in current scene.
Extract All Layers:
  • Extracts curves from all curl layers.
Remove All Layers:
  • Delete all layers and the setup.

You can Copy & Paste a layer by right clicking on the 'xgtCurlGroup' button.

Curl Control UI
​
Select Curls:
  • Users can now click on this bottom on the very top of the UI to quickly select all curls in this layer.
Template On Curve Toggle:
  • When this is turn on, curve toggling will also set template to the geometry. Sometimes this allows easier viewing of the geometry while moving CV's of curves.
Display Width:
  • Controls the thickness of curl geometries. This is for the purpose of previewing curls and will not affect the outcome of curve extraction.
Smoothness: 
  • Increase the smoothness if the curl has more loops to get smoother result. The higher the smoothness is, the longer it will take to extract curve(s).
Rotation:
  • ​Spins all curl(s) around the central axis (curl curves).
Scale: 
  • Controls the size of curl radius.
Frequency:
  • The higher the frequency, the more loops will be applied to the curl.
​Noise Scale:
  • Coupled with the Noise Frequency to apply noise offset to the curl.
​Noise Frequency:
  • This rate of noise. Larger values result in more curls.

Note: The more CVs on selected curve, the higher frequency the curl will be. If the selected curve has high CV count, it can cause system slowdown
