What is the Difference Between a Cusp Point and a Corner Point

[paul knight]

Hi,

Can someone explain the difference between a cusp point and a corner point - i've seen a couple of tutorials and they seem to be referring to the same thing whilst talking about different ways to approach them?

Many thanks,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Basically a cusp point is an anchor point with independent control handles. That is they aren't locked into alignment with each other the way they are with the smooth point. I am sharing a tutorial link where you can see how to make one and the main difference between a normal anchor point and cusp point.
