Profile shape

Submitted by Swordslayer on Tue, 2018-06-05 04:27

Profile spline primitive to be used with classic Bevel Profile or Shell modifier as the edge profile shape, as a sweep profile and for other similar use cases. Can be rotated, flipped and reversed as needed (for example for Shell, you should use the X Direction).

Arrow spline primitive, useful as a control object in rigging. Works only in 3ds max 2016 SP2 and higher.

Pulley Belt

Technically you can probably call it a rounded isosceles trapezoid but it will be more useful as a base for path of bicycle chains or pulley belts. When both radii are the same and spline set to renderable, it could also be used as a simple chain link.

Simple Catenary

Submitted by Swordslayer on Thu, 2015-12-03 07:42

Simple multi-point spline approximating the shape of the catenary curve (the shape formed by a hanging rope). Allows for driving the point positions by scene objects, controlling the slack by absolute sag amount or relative to the length of the line between points, randomization of the slack and other options:
