Trestle
Plug-In 1.0
Trestle is a simple drawing tool built to generate wireline
cross-sections within the Electric Image Animation System. It is designed to work independently, or in concert with other modeling plugins like Scrim, Mr. Revolver and some some yet to be announced plugins.
Trestle's graph editor has a number options to create and manipulate 2D lines/shapes.

Features:
• Point (CV level) animation.
• Creating/editing of custom UVs.
• Advanced graph tools for automatic shape creation/ manipulation (Stars tool, Mirror, Equidistant).
• Tiled output (repeat, mirror etc.) to create complex shapes from a simple base shape.
• Replication. This feature tells the plug-in to output a 3D array of shapes instead of a single shape. Animation channels can be created for each replicated instance which can then be modified by XP.
• Masters and Slaves. This feature is known in other applications as "instancing". It allows mutiple instances of Trestle
to share the same data for two or more plug-in groups. By editing a master, all of its slaves update the changes automatically. Each Trestle group can still be moved, scaled, deformed individually thus making work with complex
shapes even easier.
