Curve3

Description

class Curve3

Constructor

new Curve3(points)

A Curve3 object is a logical object, so not a mesh, to handle curves in the 3D geometric space.

A Curve3 is designed from a series of successive Vector3.

Parameters

	Name	Type	Description
	points	Vector3[]

Methods

static CreateQuadraticBezier(v0, v1, v2, nbPoints) → Curve3

Returns a Curve3 object along a Quadratic Bezier curve : http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/How_to_use_Curve3#quadratic-bezier-curve

Parameters

	Name	Type	Description
	v0	Vector3	(Vector3) the origin point of the Quadratic Bezier
	v1	Vector3	(Vector3) the control point
	v2	Vector3	(Vector3) the end point of the Quadratic Bezier

static CreateCubicBezier(v0, v1, v2, v3, nbPoints) → Curve3

Returns a Curve3 object along a Cubic Bezier curve : http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/How_to_use_Curve3#cubic-bezier-curve

Parameters

	Name	Type	Description
	v0	Vector3	(Vector3) the origin point of the Cubic Bezier
	v1	Vector3	(Vector3) the first control point
	v2	Vector3	(Vector3) the second control point
	v3	Vector3	(Vector3) the end point of the Cubic Bezier

static CreateHermiteSpline(p1, t1, p2, t2, nbPoints) → Curve3

Returns a Curve3 object along a Hermite Spline curve : http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/How_to_use_Curve3#hermite-spline

Parameters

	Name	Type	Description
	p1	Vector3	(Vector3) the origin point of the Hermite Spline
	t1	Vector3	(Vector3) the tangent vector at the origin point
	p2	Vector3	(Vector3) the end point of the Hermite Spline
	t2	Vector3	(Vector3) the tangent vector at the end point

static CreateCatmullRomSpline(points, nbPoints) → Curve3

Returns a Curve3 object along a CatmullRom Spline curve :

Parameters

	Name	Type	Description
	points	Vector3[]	(array of Vector3) the points the spline must pass through. At least, four points required.
	nbPoints	number	(integer) the wanted number of points between each curve control points.

getPoints() → Vector3[]

Returns the Curve3 stored array of successive Vector3

length() → number

Returns the computed length (float) of the curve.

continue(curve) → Curve3

Returns a new instance of Curve3 object : var curve = curveA.continue(curveB);

This new Curve3 is built by translating and sticking the curveB at the end of the curveA.

curveA and curveB keep unchanged.

Parameters

	Name	Type	Description
	curve	Curve3
