Mesh generation - orienting endpoints
#5
Ok so I'm not really a math guy (which is why I bought curvy in the first place Wink ) but I've been doing some reading of my old text books and think I have an idea as to what's going on here. I think even though the continuity is 1, the first tangent calculation on the joined spline is actually the 'next' calculated point instead of the same tangent as the connection point. Maybe that's by design but I think it's causing grief with the generated mesh not lining up with the connected prefab mesh.

I switched to Bezier splines to give them a try and had better results but it still requires a bunch of manual tweaking during design time. I think what I'm looking for is a way to set the start/end tangents and have the handles automatically calculated based on some tolerance settings as to maximum curve angle or tangent variation or something like that.

Does that make sense at all?
