Now, in-between, you can see I can now change the segment, and I can manipulate that, and it can give me handles. So I've just created two new points there. If I hover with my Command key held down, or Control, and I'm in-between points, I can create points like so. If I want to remove this point, I can hold down Command and hover over the point, and I'll get a preview, just as I did before, of what will happen to the spline if this point were to be deleted. I don't need to hold down Shift anymore because this particular point's handles are broken. I could start to break the tangent there, and I can now manipulate these handles individually.

If I just want to manipulate one handle, I press Shift. Gives you an idea of what's happening to the spline. Get a little preview of where the spline was and where it's going to be, you see, like that, and that's very useful. If I click on a point, it turns orange, and it means it's selected, and I can manipulate the handles, just like so. You see where the icon changed there, and we can just come over to the spline here and verify that this spline is closed. Now I can close up this this spline, just like so.

Now if I move along and just click, and if I click again, you can see there are no handles. So we're going to begin with the Pen tool, and we'll just click here to activate it, and we can just start clicking into the viewport, and if I click and drag, I'm going to create a point with handles, soft interpolation. If you're familiar with Adobe Illustrator, these tools should be fairly easy to grasp. Now let's look at how we'd create splines from scratch. In the previous movie, we looked at the spline primitives, which have defined parameters that allow us to work with predefined spline shapes in a nondisruptive way.
