Simplify Spline
Updated: 3 Feb 2025
Reduce the number of anchors in a parent spline
Simplify Spline
Method #
This node iteratively reduces the number of vertices in the splines / lines of the parent mesh. The start and end of each line/spline is kept intact. If the parent mesh is splines, the reduction will attempt to generate spline tangents to retain the shape of the spline where possible.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Iterations
The number of reduction iterations used to simplify the spline.
Inputs
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
