Sets how thick a curve is from base to tip.

It follows the curve rather than a world axis, which is the whole point: a branch that reaches sideways still thins towards its end, where a height-based field would make it thin towards the top instead.
Power shapes the falloff, so the thinning can be gentle at first and sharp near the tip. Multiply keeps whatever thickness the curve already had and scales it, which is how a whole tree stays proportional when the trunk changes.
Inputs
| Socket | Type | Wiring |
|---|---|---|
| curve | geometry |
These settings are also output sockets, so another part can read the number instead of repeating it: base, tip.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Available when | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | number | 1 | always | |
| Tip | number | 0.25 | always | |
| Power | number | 1 | always | |
| Mode | replace | multiply | replace | always | |
| Generation | number | -1 | always |
