View Full Version : Bezier pen tool plug-in request

Since it looks like MAXON will never implement a bezier shape tool into BP.
I'd like to send out a humble request to the good people out there who write plug-ins.

I don't know if it's even possible to create this kind option or not. But I figured I'd ask.

Every time I use BP I keep running into situations where a simple bezier pen tool would save me a lot of time and grief.
It would be so very nice to have it in there.

Thanks.

I thnk what he means is some vector drawing tools. I whole heartedly agree. Try drawing a a nice curved line and you'll see what I mean.

He's talking about a paths tool and frankly at the plugin level its kind of pointless as it still wouldnt' save into the file as that is controlled by maxon.

Unless of course there would be a code-level resemblance with Bézier splines that is.
These are saved in Cinema and already implemented.
So it's not the Bézier capacity that is lacking in Cinema.
Besides: Cinema recognises ai files (vs.8).

All that is needed would perhaps be a PS plugin that had the curves capacity. And that works in BP. Maybe there still is one still available, but it would date from the PS pre5 if I remember well.
