Submitted by jonathan on Sun, 2008-12-28 07:02

hi there,
i was wondering if anyone knows a script that can merge splines?
i'm creating a scene usings delegates. after converting the delegates' trajectories into splines i want to merge two or more splines into one spline, meaning i want to find the average spline of each few near splines.
can anyone help me?
thanx alot,
jonathan

Hi jonathan.
It's been a while since your post, but just found it here and thought I might have a solution.
You mentioned you've already used the 'Convert To' feature of an object's trajectory. I'm thinking you can use a path constraint on any object to merge your splines together. Just assign a path constraint to any object, then add all the splines you want to merge as paths. If all the weights are set at 50 (the default), you should get a trajectory for that object that is a perfect blend/merge of all of them. Then you can just convert that trajectory to get another spline that you can use for other purposes. I'm attaching a max 2009 file that shows the end result. Not sure if this is what you were going for, but hope it helps.
