Changing the curvature of the path

[stranger2156]

Good day, colleagues, I could not find in the parameters such an opportunity as changing the curvature of the trajectory between three points. Is there such an opportunity in the program?

Best regards

Hi Paul,

Bezier curve is not supported yet. Sorry.

You can implement non-linear motion between 2 keyframes using modifier(s).

Thanks, Igor 

with modifiers tried, but not deep enough, it seems. )

Try increasing the amplitude?

Can you describe what you want to do in simple terms?

Thanks for the question, DG, I don’t need it now for a specific application. I just get acquainted with the PTE program and want to know all its features.
At Igor’s prompt, I experimented more thoroughly with modifiers. The result is quite satisfactory to me and I have advanced one more step.

Paul,

One of our talented French users has created a Bezier Curve software which is designed to be used with PTE to create Bezier Curves. It works quite well and I "think" derives much of its function from Excel or a similar software and creates multitudes of closely spaced keyframes which are automatically transferred to the PTE project allowing some really great effects to be realized. Create a folder under Program Files in Windows called Bezier Curve and extract the two files inside. Make a shortcut for the exe file and give it a try.

Best regards,

Lin

Thanks Lin, I'll try to figure it out.
