Spline Cleaner: Detach Splines, Connect Segments, Weld Vertices

This Spline Cleaner tutorial dives into 3 essential functions — Explode, Connect, and Weld — to help you organize complex spline shapes, detach segments, and optimize vertices for cleaner results in your 3ds Max projects.

With Explode, you can detach all segments or splines within selected shapes, with the option to group segments by angle threshold. Weld Vertices allows you to merge vertices within a set distance, reducing unnecessary points. Finally, Connect Vertices enables you to join nearby vertices by creating new segments to fill up unwanted gaps in your curves.

Spline Cleaner: Optimize, Normalize, Reduce vertices

Here’s a video showing a quick overview of the most important tools in Spline Cleaner for removing excessive vertices from your spline curves: Optimize, Normalize and Reduce Vertices.

Update: The Normalize tool was greately improved in version 1.50 with the addition of Smart Normalize feature, wich rebuilds the spline/s without loosing any detail at the corners.

Visit our SplineDynamics channel on Youtube for more videos.

Cheers!
