SUMMARY
Orient Curve uses Parallel Transport to compute an orientation frame for each point along a curve. This operator provides a stable way of determining smooth orientation frames along the length of a curve, without the typical instabilities introduced by animation with traditional methods like Line Matrix POP.
The operator is built on the Parallel Transport algorithm, which maintains a consistent reference frame as it travels along a curve. This creates smooth, predictable orientations that are ideal for sweeping geometry or aligning instances. Built-in twist controls allow you to add rotational effects with precise control via custom ramp curves.
