Spline Flow simplifies the creation of complex parametric objects based on the splines that smoothly flow from one to the other. You can effortlessly generate interconnected splines following a defined path, controlling their distribution and curvature. Beyond static design, the plugin lets you animate parameters, adding dynamic elements to your creations. Its modular approach offers flexibility, enabling visualization of final 3D models and their modifications with ease. Spline Flow simplifies the design process, making it a valuable asset for architects, product designers, and 3D modelers.
