Re: BevelCurve Plugin
awesome
Re: BevelCurve Plugin
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Re: BevelCurve Plugin
Is there a plugin that makes polygon tubes from curves in one click? Need it so bad
Re: BevelCurve Plugin
You can "mesh" or "extrude" (also with f-curve profiles) both strands and/or regular curves if you search the "resource section" here.
But what are you looking for? Or what are you trying to do ?
Otherwise, unless someone made a one click "Apply Extrude Strands" menu command (?),
you have to create an Ice tree, and get an ICE node that can do that.
( it's also not not a big stretch to create menu commands or hotkeys to "apply" specific ice trees to selected objects/elements )

Re: BevelCurve Plugin
Other than the several compounds that can extrude strands such as this :
and from the same author, there is also this :

( what I used to make my own "HairDew" thing )
If you search "strands" in the resource section.
Otherwise, I can recall "Power-Extrude" which could handle extruding multiple curvelists.
Nevertheless, it seems you have even too many options lol
but let us know if it's for pipes ? wires ? or hair ?
cheers !
... in the recent "pcTools", there is also a "PC_Cable_Strands" node you might want to try out,stBasket
Extrusion base shape's points must be in local XY plane — as in standard Circle primitive, for example. So use Front View to draw them correctly.
Compounds that create strands extrusion are faster and more accurate than standard one, but they don't create UV coordinates on the mesh. [..]
Also a video demonstrating the fast strand extrusion compounds included in the stBasket set.

And there are other compounds / tools which allow to convert to and from strands to curves and backICE Curve Creation
Author: Pedro Cabrera
ICE vbs src modeling curves
Unlike point cloud and polygon mesh creation, curve creation isn't supported natively by ICE.
The author works around this by using a vbs scripted operator that reads data written by an ICE tree further down the operator stack.
it allows linear and cubic curves, open and closed, and also subcurves, so »create curves from strands« for example is as easy as plug a »build array from set« of the strandpositions, and a »build array from set« of the strand count [..] These compounds are also provided: PC_Archimedean Spirals: different types of spirals PC_Curve By Nulls: uses a group of transforms to create a curve PC_Loxodrome: creates a loxodrome spiral with parameters PC_Spiral Points: very basic Spiral

Re: BevelCurve Plugin
I need one-click solution for my modeling. Like select curves and set radius to create the polymesh.But what are you looking for? Or what are you trying to do ?
It's needed to create wires cables and other mechanical stuff.
I don't use ICE. It looks too complicated for me
