Stroke Menu

This page covers many of the tools in the Strokes menu. These are tools that work primarily on strokes, however, some also work with point selections.

Subdividir

Modo

Modo Edición

Menú

Stroke ‣ Subdivide

Subdivides the strokes by inserting points between the selected points.

Número de Cortes

The number of subdivisions to perform.

Suavizado

The amount of the smoothness on subdivided points.

Repetir

Number of times to repeat the procedure.

Selected Points

When enabled, limits the effect to only the selected points within the stroke.

Posición

When enabled, the operator affect the points location.

Grosor

When enabled, the operator affect the points thickness.

Intensidad

When enabled, the operator affect the points strength (alpha).

UVs

When enabled, the operator affect the UV rotation on the points.

Simplify

Modo

Modo Edición

Menú

Stroke ‣ Simplify

Reduce the amount of points in the strokes.

Fijo

Deletes alternated points in the strokes, except the start and end points.

Pasos

The number of times to repeat the procedure.

Adaptativo

Uses the RDP algorithm (Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm) for points deletion. The algorithm tries to obtain a similar line shape with fewer points.

Factor

Controls the amount of recursively simplifications applied by the algorithm.

Tomar Muestra

Recreates the stroke geometry with a predefined length between points.

Longitud

The distance between points on the recreated stroke. Smaller values will require more points to recreate the stroke, while larger values will result in fewer points needed to recreate the curve.

Sharp Threshold

The maximum angle between points on the recreated stroke. Smaller values will require more points to recreate the stroke, while larger values will result in fewer points needed to recreate the curve.

Stroke ‣ Outline

Converts a stroke to an outline.

Vista

The projection method to generate the outline

Vista

Use the viewport’s view as a projection.

Frontal

Use the X-Z axes view as a projection.

Lado

use the Y-Z axis view as a projection

Superior

Use the X-Y axes view as a projection

Cámara

Use the view from the active camera as a projection.

Material Mode

How materials are assigned to the outline.

Active Material

The stroke outline will be assigned the active material.

Keep Material

The stoke outline will have the same material as before.

New Material

A new material will be created and assigned to the outline.

Grosor

Thickness of the stroke perimeter.

Keep Shape

Try to keep global shape when the stroke thickness change.

Subdivisiones

Number of subdivisions for the start and end caps.

Sample Length

The length each resulting segment of the outline. Smaller values create outlines closer to the original shape.
