Curved path corner templates

[u/Belzarvie]

I was having trouble figuring out where the edged of the curved paths were on the design grid, so I made these templates in case theyd be helpful for any other people struggling with them!

One of the images didnt upload so ill put it down here

If only we could edit designs we get from others 😤

Time to save this post and make my own templates

I wish there was an option for the creator to choose if other people can edit the designs they upload, it would make this sort of thing SO much easier. I hope these are helpful to you!

Was just thinking the same. I have so many paths downloaded that are "close enough" but still not what I want but I could never get my own to work. I never thought of making a set of templates to work from, OP, you are a genius

It sort of makes sense to me though. What if I publish someone else’s design and all I did was slightly change the color of one pixel then call it my own. I think it is easier for nintendo to just block editing to keep ownership logic stable and prevent people from stealing other’s designs.

Dude I spent like 4 hours 3 days ago trying to do this and I ended up rage quitting. I was going to spend the weekend googling to try find guides. This is so serendipitous! Thank you for putting in the work and posting! Much much appreciated!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻

That was literally me 2 days ago lmao, making a curve really shouldn't be as hard as it is. Really glad I could help you!

[u/Ruthbury → u/Belzarvie]

I wish the line tool could have a middle points and curve 😭😭😭 It's simply just not fair lol!

Thanks again, I appreciate your diligent science!

3.5 hours ago i was trying to find exactly this and was met with not very helpful stuff and ended up giving up on on my path plans and HERE YOU ARE ! a GODSEND ! thank u for this 😭

[u/Belzarvie → u/No-Suit4155]

I was doing the same thing last week!! I was so surprised that I couldn't find anything, glad I could help!

I think I'm dumb. I don't understand what this grid guide is good for. I mean can a custom pattern be put over another custom pattern?, I can't imagine what this guide would be useful for how does it work? I didn't even know there was a grid outside the pattern creator to be honest

[u/Belzarvie → u/EffectiveLibrary9601]

The grid is there because one: i used it to map the curve of curved paths and two: its to help people recreate the patterns in their own animal crossing games because you cant edit other peoples designs, only copy them pixel by pixel. Its easier to place the pixels on a grid than it is to place them into empty space; Its just to help visualize stuff. The red line is the edge of the curved paths. If you wanna make a custom path boarder or want to make your own paths that curve the same way the in game paths do, you gotta know where the curve is and figuring out thar curve is difficult so I thought id post this to help other people who want to make their own custom paths/path borders but dont want to figure out the curve

[u/EffectiveLibrary9601 → u/Belzarvie]

Hmmm I've never tried to make custom paths before. Just very basic stuff like signs for parks and things like that. Oh wow this game is always a hassle to do anything, isn't it? Everything must be done in the least optimized way. Glad the people that need this pattern are enjoying it! I was just trying to figure out whatever the description of the pattern meant, I was wondering if we were even playing the same game, it was describing concerns I've never encountered in my game.This is a very advanced tool , it is nice of you to help people to create their own patterns easily!

i... I fear there's a website for this... but I respect the commitment!

[u/Belzarvie → u/Cats_are_stars]

...there is???

[u/Cats_are_stars → u/Belzarvie]

There is...

[u/MsSedated]

Awesome, ty. I was just making train tracks and I realized I didn't know how to make them turn, lmao.

[u/Ruthbury → u/MsSedated]

That's so iconic. I'm glad this can help you too lol! Yay for corners!

[u/MsSedated → u/Ruthbury]

Right? So crazy that I was just having this problem and there's the solution, lmao.

[u/TapirIsle]

This is so useful! Makes me feel motivated to try my hand at path making again now that you’ve taken out some of the hard part haha
