magic bevel About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

It is a very handy tool indeed. The problem I had was that I wanted to make an animation where the extrusion would follow the line in realtime so in effect it would grow, I still do not know how to do this nor what to call it to find a tutorial heh. This is a feature I hope will be added as it will be much used, im wondering if some clever soul on these forums is reading this and would like to make a plugin that does it heh Post by nowherebrain // Apr 22, 2007, 6:23pm nowherebrain Total Posts: 1062 It is very useful for a multitude of projects, from trees to moldings. It's path extrusion on steroids.
