Divide Curve

Resamples a Path into count evenly-spaced points by arc length. Useful for distributing points uniformly along a curve that was sampled irregularly (e.g. a cubic-parameterised ellipse).

Sockets

path (in): Path. Required.
path (out): Path — the resampled polyline with exactly count points.
points (out): PointArray — the same points as a list (useful for Field nodes).

Parameters

Count: Number of output points. Default: 64. Min 2, max 4096.
Closed: Treat the input as a closed loop (wraps from last back to first when computing arc length). Default: on.

How It Works

Compute the cumulative arc length at each input vertex.
Divide the total length into count - 1 equal intervals (or count intervals for closed paths).
Walk the cumulative length array and linearly interpolate between adjacent input vertices to land exactly on each interval boundary.

The result is a polyline with the same overall shape but perfectly uniform point spacing.
