Issues with Spline Curve Tangency
I am working through the Industrial Design Power Tool Tutorial. Nikita is using the Spline Curve tool to connect two curves together. He places a point at the end of the first curve and finds the tangent line to place a second point. He then demonstrates the splines tangent continuity by dragging the cursor around. When I do that, I do not get tangent continuity. Am I missing something? I do not get this result using the Control Point Curve. Is it me? The tool? Or the Plasticity version? (24.2.4)

This is a good overview/how to for curves in Plasticity: https://youtu.be/P_-_KEN7tiU?si=WQ265KbvoY2oC3B-
OK! Finally, finished the Motorcycle Marathon!
I never would have thought I was capable of building anything like this. Now for the next part which is the texturing, lighting and rendering. Gonna be a zillion polygons! Thanks Nikita, for such great tutorials! I even made it through the bonus tutorials and came up with my own light design. I will highlight that more in the final renders. I also added some details like a sprocket and chain, and an instrument display, and tried to come up with a bit of a mechanism for the steering.

Awesome tutorial, Nikita! I followed along using Blender Octane. A few gotchas along the way, especially with geometry nodes. It crashed when I add geometry modifier. The workaround is to turn off the render while you are adding the Geo Nodes. Then, make sure the materials Geo Nodes is using are octane textures, not cycles. (For anyone curious!)

That is normal. It’s just the way it displays.

One thing I have seen, is that if you are having trouble joining faces, or weird issues like the borders between solids looking like there are too many lines - see if you have duplicated faces. Sometimes it just happens. Select the face, and delete it. If you don’t see a face, then hit undo and check other faces that are adjoining the “weirdness,” for lack of better term. Also, if you select the face, and you see weird triangly-looking things, that is a good sign of a duplicate face.
