# 3D Spline Shapes

This page covers the `//ezspline 3d` subcommand which feature 3D spline shapes embedded along the spline path.

## Syntax

**`//ezspline 3d`** <mark style="color:orange;">**`<shape>`**</mark> <mark style="color:orange;">**`<pattern>`**</mark> [**`<radii>`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#radii) [**`[-s <stretch>]`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#stretch-s-less-than-stretchfactor-greater-than) [**`[-t <angle>]`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#twist) [**`[-p <kbParameters>]`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#kb-parameters) [**`[-q <quality>]`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#quality) [**`[-n <normalMode>]`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#normal-mode) [**`[-h]`**](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md#help-page)

* <mark style="color:orange;">**`<shape>`**</mark> : Choose one from the list below.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`<pattern>`**</mark>: Specifies the block(s) the spline is made out of, e.g. `clay`.

*The remaining arguments are outlined on the* [*Common Parameters*](/ezedits/commands/spline/common-parameters.md) *subpage.*

Generates a highly customisable spline with a scales-like three-dimensional texture on it.

* <mark style="color:orange;">**`Columns`**</mark>**&#x20;(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`C`**</mark>**).** (Default: 8):
  * Sets how many tiles should fit per "layer".
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`HorizontalOffset`**</mark> **(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`H`**</mark>**).** Default: 1.05):
  * Determines how far apart each tile is sideways.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`VerticalOffset`**</mark> **(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`V`**</mark>**).** (Default: 1.2):
  * Determines how far apart each tile is along the spline path direction.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`MajorExponent`**</mark> **(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`M`**</mark>**).** (Default: 1.4):
  * The exponent defining the shape of the tile.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`MinorExponent`**</mark> **(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`N`**</mark>**).** (Default: 14.0):
  * The exponent defining the shape of the cross-section of each tile.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`Angle`**</mark> **(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`A`**</mark>**).** (Default: 14.0):
  * Defines the orientation of each tile.
* <mark style="color:orange;">**`DepthMultiplier`**</mark> **(**<mark style="color:orange;">**`D`**</mark>**).** (Default: 1.0):
  * Adjusts how deep the ridges between the tiles go.
  * Values larger than 1 carve out blocks.
  * Value less than 1 fill with more blocks.

Experimental spline which generates a set of twisted, intertwining, non-intersecting sub-splines.

* **`[`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`Amount:<value>`**</mark>**`]`** (<mark style="color:orange;">**`A`**</mark>) (Default: 12):
  * The number of intertwining lines.
* **`[`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`Tangle:<value>`**</mark>**`]`** (<mark style="color:orange;">**`T`**</mark>) (Default: 3.0):
  * Determines how much the noodles intertwine and move around. Low values result in fully straight noodles. High values result in more chaotic paths.
  * ![](/files/pUxnMcFdFypKEFMONj0b)
* **`[`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`Density:<value>`**</mark>**`]`** (<mark style="color:orange;">**`D`**</mark>) (Default: 70%):
  * Indirectly determines the width of the noodles by specifying how much the cross-section should be filled with material vs just air. 100% makes the noodles as thick as they can be so that the given amount of noodles can still fit into the spline radius. Thus, large values do not leave the noodles much space to move which gives rise to glitchy paths. Small values leave large air gaps between the noodles.
  * Example: Cross section of the spline at 100%
  * ![](/files/KKVKXIKhdG8D9QB96ZN7)
  * Example Cross section of the spline at 50% (same number of noodles)
  * ![](/files/xg1kw7Yc0xcs9vcQ4yey)
  * The smaller the density the smaller the individual radius of the noodles. Difference to the width parameter: The determined radius is the one used for collision detection. The width parameter has no influence on the collision between noodles.

* **`[`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`Width:<value>`**</mark>**`]`** (<mark style="color:orange;">**`W`**</mark>) (Default: 0.8):
  * Relative width multiplier for all noodles independent of the noodle collision detection. Noodle collisions are calculated at width 1.0. This parameter defines the width at which the noodles are rendered/placed. This means values larger than one result in overlapping noodles, clipping into each other, meanwhile, values smaller than one ensure an air gap between all noodles.

* **`[`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`Frequency:<value>`**</mark>**`]`** (<mark style="color:orange;">**`F`**</mark>) (Default: 0.5):
  * Sets the frequency value of the underlying noise responsible for the random perturbations. Higher values result in jittering.
* **`[`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`Seed:<value>`**</mark>**`]`** (<mark style="color:orange;">**`S`**</mark>) (Default: -1 (random)):
  * Sets the seed of the underlying noise responsible for the random perturbations.
