x-ray curves ?

#1

is there a way to make my desired control curves always visible? even behind some geometry? just like joints in x-ray joints mode. i cant figure this one out and i didnt found any solution on the net.

thanks in advance

It looks incredibly handy! Sorry I don’t have an answer, but boy would I like to know as well :slight_smile:

if its for selection purpose, you can even go with “Display Handle” option.
the handle will be visible even behind geometry. and selecting handle, u can actually select ur curves.

#4

can you explain me this in more detail?

that’s what i need actually. selecting my controls even if they’re behind or inside the geometry

#5

select ur curve => ctrl+A => Display => display Handle (and then set the offset)

remember not to go in the shape node attributes.
this can be applied to any object.
hope it helps.

yep, i figured that out recently, but still it gives me only a ‘+’ icon without any options to modify its shape

#7

i asked u previously, whats the purpose…is it for selection??
that is just to select the object.
want to modify shape?? i dont understand what u are looking for. just select the handle, press F8 (now u are in component mode) change the shape.

yes , selecting , if the control object slip into the geometry, but also i want to see its shape , not only the + icon. so its always selectable and also looks pretty for the animator
