Taper Sweep.js

hello

after reading this thread.
http://www.cheetah3d.de/forum/showthread.php?t=4025

I made this script. it's polygon script, so please place it into ~/Library/Application Support/Cheetah3D/scripts/Polygonobj folder.

download-> http://www.tres-graficos.jp/blog/files/article.php?id=46

it's almost same as Sweep Creator, but ..
if this object has 3rd child spline object, it uses it as a x/y scale parameter of profile spline.
if this object has also 4th child spline object, it uses the 3rd as y scale parameter, and the 4th as a x scale parameter of profile spline.

and check attached sample scene file, ( install script first, before open sample jas file. )

updated_20090326: UV coord added, fixed a flip bug with closed path spline.
updated_20090326b: fixed a flip bug with closed path spline, and still has a flip problem.
updated_20090330c: oscillation option added. some bugs fixed.
updated_20090407: fixed bug when it's used with subdiv mod.
updated_20100130: fixed bug for 5.2+.

You are a real asset

Dear tg_jp

I just wanted to say that I for one really appriciate all the great scripting you do for this program. On a few occasions I have been tasked with odd problems, your scripts have really got me out of a hole.

So, I guess I speak for most of the forum here. You are a real star and your efforts do not go unoticed.

I would recommend that you have a paypal donate button on your site for every download, I would certainly donate.

People like you are very rare

Best regards

Luke

Hello, Luke

I like Cheetah3D scripting system so much. it's very powerful, easy to learn, and very fun to use.

I have learned a lot of about 3D graphics with your software, and now I am still learning.

Hi!
I tried to use this today but I'm afraid it's broken in 5.x? (tried both with 5.2 and 5.3b1)

thank you,
Alessandro
