What is a Bezier Handle?
A Bezier Handle controls the shape of a curve around a node.
Nodes stay straight by default. A curve only appears when one of the node’s visible handles is moved.
What handles control
Handles change how the Tube approaches or leaves a node without moving the node itself.
This lets you create:
- Smooth bends
- Rounded corners
- Flowing shapes
- Curved logos and signs
- More precise custom paths
Handles belong to nodes
Each node can expose two handle endpoints:
- IN
- OUT
These are separate editable points connected to the node.
Handles do not move automatically
NeonFX does not automatically create or smooth curves.
A newly created node remains straight until you manually move one of its handles.
The next articles explain the difference between IN and OUT handles and how to edit them.
