[Plugin][$] Curviloft 2.0a - 31 Mar 24 (Loft & Skinning)
-
I have moved the Curviloft tutorial to the Tutorials Forum - it will hopefully keep both topics more readable.
-
As all of your wonderful plugins!
Very nice fredo! -
Fredo I am a big fan of your work, i hang my head in shame and confess that i cannot get the Curvilot to work when i start uo SU i get the following message " Module Curviloft requires LibFredo6 version greater than 35. Current version is 34" but i do have Version 35 in the plugin dir as well as 34 if i remove the 34 many of my other Fredo plugins work is it possible for anyone to diagnose my problem?
Thanks in anticipation -

fredo and charly
this tool is fantastic, however after reviewing the examples posted by charly i was eager to try them out for myself but when it came time to try step 3 if found that the curviloft menue did not display the same information nor did the black backround profile menu appear i have sinced removed all rubies and reloaded only the latest from you posting to see if i had installed it incorrectly however i get the same responce
can you enlighten me as to the problem or is there somthing i am over looking
thanks
Maybe you just need to click on a junction to get the floating palette appear, if it is your problem.

Thanks in anticipationCheck out if you have a subfolder named LIBFREDO6_Dir_35 in the Plugins directory. Normally, the script automatically select the latest version of LibFredo6

You can select all the contours to make the loft:
You will see that there is a problem with the default method.. try to change it with the toolbar for different results:
Or you can make it in two parts (for this model I wanted this result):

The idea was a result like this for that model:
Is better to make the loft in parts and not all togheter in a lot of cases.
For example, I´m making a shape where two contours share edges.
it is better to make a loft between 1-2-3, then explode and after that make the loft 4-5 for better results:
I attach the skp to show that if you make a loft of 1-2-3-4-5 the results are not good in this case.

FredoPS: for the other shape, there are still some issues when curves are partially overlapping. But it is a good example I can work from.

I've yet to try out this plugin for myself - but is there a linear option as well? Or is it just beziers? It seems to be that the pencil would require a linear morphing to get the shape of the tip.

The Linear option will be available in the next release (along with other spline methods). I came to that conclusion too.

Just came across this wonderful and amazing new tool.
I'm pretty much speechless: incredible
This opens up soooo many possibilities. Thank you for this great tool
-
I haven't even had time to use it and I am already in love with this plugin.
Thanks Fredo -

Hi,
I tried with Curviloft the to make the ornaments in this historic door . But it does not look good. I have to try other shapes. In the rendered image it looks like a Crab.
