Sorry if this question already exist, but i want to be sure :)

How can i make easily Distorted Curves at constructor?
If i cant, this could be a good Constructor update at the next version :)

    I'm a bit lost on terminology (not the first time). Could you explain distorted curves?

    Constructor (and Torque) does not support Bezier curves. The Quake 3 engine does, but TGE (and thus Constructor) does not.

    But I'm not sure what you mean by distorted curves.

    Constructor isn't an animation modeling package on the level of what you are talking about. Using Max and working with spring physics might work, though I haven't made a slinky-esque thing in Max or Maya or Lightwave.

    I don't think there will ever be a simple plugin to do those Mk. It will probably take technique and a whole lotta patience ;)

    Ah, ok, So maybe i will try to make it by myself (FAALSE, I never make things so good).
    Ok, Thanks to all.

    @mkbul -

    You could try using the face extrude plugin. You can adjust the direction of the extrusions, so you could conceivably make something similar, but you would need to do it in small steps.

    Go into face selection mode, select the face you want to extrude, and then go into extrude mode. adjust the length and direction of the extrude, and press "make".
