Preset Bezier Curves

What It Does

Provides quick access to a library of commonly used Bezier curves for animations and transitions. Instead of manually defining control points, you can select from named presets that represent standard easing functions.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
name	The name of the preset curve to use	Text	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
curve	The selected Bezier curve	Curve

Preset Bezier Curves Example

How to Use It

1. Drag the Preset Bezier Curves node into your graph.

2. Select a preset from the "name" dropdown (default is "linear").

3. Run the graph—the output will be a Bezier curve with the control points for the selected preset.

4. Use this output with other curve nodes like Sample Curve.

Available Presets

• Linear: A straight line with no easing (linear interpolation)

• Ease In: Starts slow, accelerates (variations: Sine, Quad, Cubic, Quart, Quint, Expo, Circ, Back)

• Ease Out: Starts fast, decelerates (variations: Sine, Quad, Cubic, Quart, Quint, Expo, Circ, Back)

• Ease In Out: Starts slow, speeds up in the middle, slows down at the end (variations: Sine, Quad, Cubic, Quart, Quint, Expo, Circ, Back, Elastic)

Tips

• Different easing functions create different visual feels:

  • Sine: Gentle, subtle easing

  • Quad/Cubic/Quart/Quint: Progressively stronger easing

  • Expo: Dramatic, exponential easing

  • Circ: Based on circular motion

  • Back: Slightly overshoots before settling

  • Elastic: Bouncy, spring-like motion

• Bezier Curve: For creating custom curves when presets aren't sufficient.

• Sample Curve: To evaluate a curve at a specific point.

• Float Curve: For more complex curve definitions.

Use Cases

• UI Animations: Create natural-feeling transitions between states.

• Motion Design: Apply industry-standard easing to movement.

• Data Visualization: Transform linear data into more organic visual representations.
