Unable to change and see thickness of spline bridge

[abs0luteKelvin]

trying out the spline bridge list. wanted to add taper thickness to the splines. Not sure why its not workng for me in the preview. I just see uniform thickness. using latest version 14

Any ideas why this is happening?

Hello,

The 'Preview' output of Spline nodes does not render the splines' thickness by default, but there is a 'Show Thickness Envelope' option in then 'Preview' parameter group.

To properly render thickness, you may use the Scatter on Spline node with a high number of patterns, or the Spline Mapper node which is generally more costly.

That said, maybe Spline Render should support rendering thickness natively. (and not as an envelope)

Best regards.

Either Spline Render should have the option to render thickness or it should be made explicit in the documentation that it does not. Without that explicit statement, it is natural to assume that the render node should give a raster version of the spline including it's thickness properties.
