Bezier Curve

What It Does

Creates a cubic Bezier curve by defining two control points that determine the curve's shape. The curve always starts at point (0,0) and ends at point (1,1), with the control points determining how it curves between these fixed points.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
x1	X coordinate of the first control point (0-1)	Number	No
y1	Y coordinate of the first control point (0-1)	Number	No
x2	X coordinate of the second control point (0-1)	Number	No
y2	Y coordinate of the second control point (0-1)	Number	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
curve	The resulting Bezier curve	Curve

How to Use It

1. Drag the Bezier Curve node into your graph.
2. Set the x1, y1 coordinates for the first control point (default is 0.5, 0).
3. Set the x2, y2 coordinates for the second control point (default is 0.5, 1).
4. Run the graph—the output will be a Bezier curve object you can use with other curve nodes.
5. Adjust the control points to change the shape of the curve.

Tips

• Different control point configurations create different curve behaviors:
  • Linear: Set points to (0,0) and (1,1)
  • Ease-in: Set points to (0.42, 0) and (1, 1)
  • Ease-out: Set points to (0, 0) and (0.58, 1)
  • Ease-in-out: Set points to (0.42, 0) and (0.58, 1)
• All coordinates must be between 0 and 1.
