Profile Twist Sway

Profile, Twist & Sway

Profile Curve

Controls how the cross-section radius varies from bottom to top. Bezier curve: horizontal = radius multiplier, vertical = height.

Curve shape	Meaning
Straight vertical	Cylinder (constant radius)
Curve left	Narrower at that height
Curve right	Wider at that height

Editor controls:

Action	Result
Drag point	Move a control point
Double-click	Add a new point (max 8)
Right-click	Remove a point (min 2)

Custom Twist

Bezier curve defining rotation (degrees) at each height. Example: 0° at bottom → 90° at top = quarter turn.

---

Wave Twist

Sinusoidal oscillating twist.

Control	Description
Cycles	Number of oscillations
Max Degrees	How far it twists each way

Wave Twist + Fluting = beautiful swirling patterns.

---

XY Sway

Offsets the cross-section left/right (X) or forward/back (Y) at different heights. Use X Sway to lean the vase, combine both axes for S-curves or spirals.

---

Smoothing

Fades surface effects in/out to prevent a uniform "stamped" look.

Control	Description
Vertical Cycles	Fade-in/fade-out bands up the height
Start Percent	Where smoothing begins
Radial Cycles	Fade bands around the circumference
Offset Angle	Rotational offset for radial smoothing
