Perfect Curve Line Parabola thing

  • Rconover     2nd Sep 2010 Member 0 Permalink
    I learnt how to do this back in Geometry and in Free Rider 2

    its some sort of parabola, it has a perfect curve, and is made of multiple linear lines all equally spaced apart from their beginnings and ends

    it's not a parabola - it's a hyperbola.

    and pls define "perfect curve" :D

    a curve that sustains the same arch, basically a turn that doesn't get sharper or wider

    so perfect curve=perfect circle?

    Yes, it does indeed look hyperbolic. Regardless, nice job!

    Well I wouldn't call it a curve... because technical it's a line with lots of sides and corners.

    HeyJD
    There is no such thing as a perfect curve in the virtual world. This is pretty close, though.

    If I continued the drawing it would make a full perfect circle.

    There is nothing as a perfect circle (not in TPT atleast).
