RopesScript

Bezier Curve Creator

This script allows you to easily create, update, duplicate, and apply a sweep mesh to Bezier curves in Maya. It’s especially useful for creating objects like ropes, cables, or any structure that follows a curved path.

1. Create Bezier Curve:
   • The script lets you create a smooth Bezier curve between two locators in your scene.
   • You can adjust the curvature (vertical offset) and smoothness (number of spans) using sliders.
2. Update Curve:
   • Once the curve is created, you can adjust its curvature and smoothness.
   • The "Update" button lets you apply the changes to the curve without having to recreate it.
3. Duplicate Curve:
   • You can duplicate the created curve. The duplicated curve will stay in place, while the original curve remains linked to the locators.
   • This is useful for having multiple copies of the curve without losing the original reference.
4. Sweep Mesh:
   • You can select multiple curves in your scene and apply a sweep mesh along them.
   • The sweep mesh tool allows you to create a 3D mesh that follows the shape of the selected curves.
