[Req] Loft
-
I have been waiting for this for a few years now. Any chance we can get this anytime soon
I believe RickW was working on it at some point in time but have not heard or seen anything in a very long time. Obviously first price is for this to be real time, ie if you move one of the profiles the lofted shape should followThanks

That would be super! Sketchrino!

'Skin' does something similar...
-
The skin is a pale shadow of the real old good loft though..
-
haha that guys pretty blunt eh...
skin doesnt add that intermediat geometry that the Loft seems to do -
Yes i know that there are a couple of scripts that do similar stuff but
we do need proper loft functionality. It is a fundamental 3D modeling concept
that is present in all the big packages, 3dmax, C4d, Maya, FormZ etc. Sketchup needs it a LOFT tool
It would enhance Sketchup modeling capabilities greatly.

but as far as I know lofts are only possible with nurbs. that means that if you want a loft that still can be manipulated via it's curves, you need the calculation process for a nurbs form and its transformation into a polygon shape in real time...
I think for a fluent loft tool we needed something like SketchUp Nurbs, which would be great, but I am afraid is rather unlikely...

well, EEbyRails restricts you to 4 curves (two profile curves, and two path curves) whereas with a loft tool you are allowed to use as many curves as you like (order in which curves are selected will determine the order they are used).
maybe you could create a loft tool based on your EEbyRails tool...
I know there is a basic loft tool out there somewhere (I think Chris Fullmer). but last thing I know its still in early beta.
you got quite a stable tool which produces beautifully smooth forms. so maybe you could derive a mighty loft tool from it...
