Modules

Modules are the building blocks of the Curvy Generator. Each module reads input data from its slots or resources, processes it, and writes data to its slots or resources. Output slots connect to input slots of other modules via links.

Slots

Slots carry typed data. A link is only valid if the output slot type matches what the input slot expects. Types can inherit from each other, for example a slot that accepts Shape also accepts Path or Volume, because Path extends Shape and Volume extends Path. See Data Types for the full type hierarchy.

Modules by Category

Input

Modules that bring external data into the generator.

Module Input Output Description
Input Spline Path Path Create a Path from a CurvySpline
Input Spline Shape Shape Create a Shape from a CurvySpline
Input Spots Spots Create a collection of fixed Spots
Input Transform Spots Spots Create a collection of variable Spots
Input Meshes Array of VMesh Create VMeshes from Unity meshes
Input GameObject Array of GameObject Create GameObjects from Unity GameObjects or Prefabs

Modifier

Modules that transform or combine existing data.

Module Input Output Description
TRS Path Path Path Translate, Rotate, Scale a Path
TRS Shape Shape Shape Translate, Rotate, Scale a Shape
TRS Mesh Array of VMesh Array of VMesh Translate, Rotate, Scale a VMesh
Path Relative Translation Path Path Shift a Path sideways along its own orientation

Variable Mix Shapes Shape, Shape Shape Blend two Shapes with a varying ratio along the extrusion
Conform Path Path Path Project a Path onto colliders or terrain
Deform Mesh Array of VMesh, Path or Volume, Array of Spots Array of VMesh, Array of Spots Deform meshes to follow a path

Build

Modules that generate new data from existing data.

Volume Caps Volume, Array of Volume Array of VMesh Generate flat cap meshes for a Volume
Rasterized Path Path Path Sample a Path into a fixed set of points
Volume Spots Path or Volume, Array of Bounds Spots Place objects along a Path or Volume

Create

Modules that produce actual Unity scene objects from generator data.

Module Input Output Description
Create Mesh Array of VMesh, Spots Create Unity Mesh objects from VMesh data

Convert

Modules that convert between data representations.

Module Input Output Description
