Automatic Line Smoothing with Bezier Curves

Learn how to automatically smooth any set of Vector3's with Bezier Curves! In this video we'll create an Editor script to smooth a Line Renderer with the click of a button. You'll implement 2 controls:

⚫ Smoothing Length

⚫ Smoothing Sections

to control the Bezier Curves.

There's a lot more you can do with Bezier Curves! This is just the beginning. The key takeaways are understanding how we are choosing where to place the tangent points - with this and controlling where they are, you can do some really awesome things!
