CV Hardness Options

Use the following options to set what happens when you select Curves > CV Hardness.

Multiplicity

By default, when you create a cubic curve, the end knots have a multiplicity factor of 3 and the arcs in between have a multiplicity factor of 1.

Full changes the multiplicity of the interior CVs from 1 to 3. To change a multiplicity factor from 1 to 3, there must be at least two CVs on each side of the CV being modified that have a multiplicity factor of 1.

Off changes the multiplicity of the interior CVs from 3 to 1.

Keep Original

Keeps the original curve after you change the multiplicity setting.

hardenPoint node

If you turned on Keep Original when you adjusted CV hardness, you can use the Attribute Editor to edit the CV hardness any time later. See also hardenPoint.

Input Curve

The Input Curve information is read-only. It gives you access to the history of the curve you changed. Click the arrow button to select the curve and open its section of the editor.

Multiplicity

Enter a value in the Multiplicity box, or use the slider, to specify the number of knots you want to insert when adjusting the CVs.
