Ribbon operations:¶

Curve Simplify¶

Curve Simplify- Allows to reduce point count. Good for reducing polycount on hairs

Resample Curve¶

Resample Curve. Allows to increase/decrease number of points each curve is made of

Parameters (F9):

• Points per strand - How many points each spline will have after resampling
• Offset to tip - Move spline points more toward tip
• Offset to root - Move spline points more toward root
• Equal point count - When disabled, shorter splines will have less points
• Uniform Spacing - Equalize distance between points when resampling

Smooth Curve¶

Smooth Curve - smooth strand points (eg. to reduce noise)

Adjust Length¶

Straighten Curve¶

Straighten Curve - Straighten strands. You can control influence of straighten over strand length, with: transition offset and contrast parameters

Smooth Tilt¶

Smooth Tilt does what is says

Taper Curve¶

Taper Curve - change strands radius over length

Radius from length¶

Radius from length - change strands radius depending on its length. You can control min and max radius; transition: threshold and smoothness

Align Curve tilt¶

Align Curve tilt - lets you align cure tilt to target object surface.

Randomize Curve Tilt¶

Randomize Curve Tilt - change curve tilt over its length

Select Tips/Roots¶

Select Tips/Roots - lets you select first/last points on curves. You have option to randomize selection, or limit it by strand length.

Slice Using Mesh¶

Slice Using Mesh - you can cut curves using mesh. Option is located at the very bottom of HTool pie menu
