Features

• scripts:
  • LineSmoother
    • main utility script for smoothing out positions
    • static function so it can be accessed without being attached to a gameobject
    • feed it an array of Vector3 and a segment size and you will get back a smoothed out array!
    • segment size is world space and so the number of line segments in between points adjusts based on distance between points
  • CurvedLineRenderer
    • example use case for smoothed out positions
    • add new points and it will automatically update to include the new position!
    • example scene is provided with a regular curved line and a curved line with physics applied to each point
  • CurvedLinePoint
    • draws gizmo and sends back to CurvedLineRenderer to update line when the point is moved
• textures and materials:
  • normal maps to make curved lines look like their were solid
  • sample ready-to-use materials for lines (unlit and wires or pipes)
