Re: Curve Tool

There was, posted back on the old forums. I don't know if anyone still has it / the link for it. Two ways you can create curves currently are rotating barriers of a set length around to make a circle and turning grid lock off and arranging points by eye.

A third way, the way the curve tool did it, was by using the geometric equation for a circle/elipse and determining a certain number of points with it.

Check it:

or, using my mad HS geometry skills, y=k+b*sqrt(1-((x-h)/a)^2)

simplified for a circle with radius r with a center at the origin:
y=sqrt(r^2-x^2)

If you're interested in circles, you already know four points. If you just plug in another three or four x-coordinates in the same quadrant, you can reflect them over the axes without any trouble to create a pretty nice curve.

Re: Curve Tool

Although all of those things are true, the curve tool has a lot of pretty cool features. Here's a link, but it's only good for 7 days. Anyone know a good place where I can host things permanently?
