Duplicate Splines
Updated: 1 Sep 2025
Generate altered duplicates of the parent spline
Duplicate Splines
Method #
This node creates multiple duplicates of the parent object’s spline paths, offset from the original radially and linearly. This node requires that the parent mesh is a spline or a geometry node that has been converted to splines.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Splines X
The number of copies of the spline in the horizontal axis.
Splines Y
The number of copies of the spline in the vertical axis.
Spacing X
The spacing between the copies of the spline in the horizontal axis.
Spacing Y
The spacing between the copies of the spline in the vertical axis.
Variation X
The random variation of the spacing between the copies of the spline in the horizontal axis.
Variation Y
The random variation of the spacing between the copies of the spline in the vertical axis.
Offset X
The offset of the copies of the spline from the original, in the horizontal axis.
Offset Y
The offset of the copies of the spline from the original, in the vertical axis.
Radial Spacing
The radial rotation that is applied between the copies of the spline.
Radial Variation
The random variation of the radial rotation applied between the copies of the spline.
Seed
The random seed that is applied to all random variation values.
Radial Offset
The radial angle offset of the copies of the spline from the original.
Twist
The variation in the radial angle applied to the spline along the length of the spline.
Original Splines
Determines whether the original splines should be output unchanged as part of the new set.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
