Sweeper

Sweeper is a powerful and robust extruding tool for Animation Master. It basically "sweeps" a cross-section along one or more selected paths, and it's designed to take advantage from A:M concepts, producing accurate, consistent and patch-efficient results.

Key Features:

  • Create swept objects that accurately match the selected path, including peaked points, bias values and closed paths.
  • Alternatively, create objects with a number of evenly spaced extrusions along the path.
  • Sweep along any number of selected paths at once.
  • Use duplicate mode to copy objects along the selected paths.
  • Apply rolling and scaling to the sweep steps.
