Another "very mathematical" way of making curves!

@Krolich

Bezier curve (green) and arcs+lines (pink) comparison

The process

Of course, they don’t all meet at 180 but I think the result is excellent for practical patternmaking. Now I’m going to check how corresponding curves will… well, correspond if measurements change

@Krolich

As I said, I made arcs my ally in the battle with the bra drawing. Looks like we are winning

Here is how two corresponding curves scale in different sizes. See this little pink thingy with A51 mark? That’s the difference between their length. It’s less than 0.15 cm in every size I tried

I don’t think I can make a step-by-step tutorial of how to do this with any curve. It is a creative process. You make tangents and points on them, then you draw perpendiculars and see where they cross, use the distance from points on curves to crossing points to find arc centers. Something like that. You also use Line * x type of formula a lot.

I mastered this so I don’t even need a Bezier curve to start with

It’s very flexible too, the only thing I can’t change freely (without history tab and lots of caution) is number of arcs in each curve)

Can you add Valentina’s files of your examples, so that we can better understand the process?
