CURVE TO PROXY CARDS
This tool is created to simplify the conversion of Groom curves into geometry cards.

Select Cards:
- Users can now click on this bottom on the very top of the UI to quickly select all cards in this layer.
- 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.
- After manipulating curve CVs, if the length of the curve has changed, click on this button to re-length geometries to the length of curves.
- Sometimes the underlying head/body geo have curvatures, this allows the proxy cards to ‘go into’ the head/body geo so there are no ‘gaps’.
- This option will attempt to orient the normal of cards to the selected mesh. Set an iteration amount for it to run, select card(s) in the current layer, and then shift select the scalp mesh. Please note that higher iterations will be slower to calculate.
Master Tab
Length SubD:
- Controls the length subdivision of all cards in the current layer.
- Controls the width subdivision of all tubes in the current layer.
- Controls the size of all tubes in the current layer.
- Controls the length of all cards in the current layer.
- Rotates all tubes in layer in degrees.
- Twists cards around the central axis. This setting needs to be coupled with the twist ramp.
Target Tab
Show Selected Tube(s) Control:
- Select card(s), and click on this button to reveal individual controls for selected card(s). Please note, adjusting settings from the Master Tab will reset settings for each individual tube.
