Spline & Path Tools

Last update: Thu Feb 26 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Spline & Path Tools are a collection of nodes for working with paths and splines in Substance graphs:

Paths are a series of points connected into straight lines.

Splines are smooth curves whose trajectories are shaped by control points and those points’ tangents. Each point also controls a spline’s height and thickness attributes which are used to drive the mapping, warping and scattering of images.

This category holds the following sub-categories:

Spline tools
Nodes for generating and ajusting splines, as well as using them for mapping, scattering or warping images.
Path toolsNodes for generating and adjusting paths, as well as converting them to splines for complex scattering or warping of images.
