        πŸ˜„ So I take it there is an interest for such a tool then - and not just me coding into oblivion. phew

        Why not coons surfaces, seems that is very similar? πŸ˜‰

        Until right now I'd never heard of coons surfaces...

        @unknownuser said:

        Does it possible to have more than 4 sides?

        No, there will be Tri and Quad Patches - these are combined into various configurations to create one surface. Like you do in 3DSMax's patch modelling.

        @unknownuser said:

        (And free or pay for ?)

        Most probable pay. This plugin is becoming rather complex. So I expect it to be something in the lines of Vertex Tools.

        (Need a test forum, Thom? πŸ˜‰ )

        When time is ready, yes. Before that there will be a new round of Vertex Tools. πŸ˜‰

        This is going to be great for all those who model ships for instance...

        mhm. And airplanes, cars, product designs and whatnot.

        The parametric nature of it makes it easy to model in low subdivision and then just apply a model wide multiplier right before you export your final image or render. I'm thinking it should also be possible to have a LOD setting that will adjust the subdivisions of the meshes depending on the current viewport. (components will be a challenge here...)

            I purchased Vertex Tools, because it works, and I want to support the efforts of those of you who create quality plugins. It is, what makes SU a more powerful, useful product. I can't wait for Bezier Surface to become available. Fantastic, thanks in advance for your efforts!

                      Wow, that looks like a cross between SDS and Sketchy FFD, I can see this useful for many things but especially cloth modelling. 😍

                        Looks great. I have the old Bezier patch plugin by Victor Liu but this looks so much better.

                        Just at the end after watching it two times I realised something... 😲 ...a transform gizmo!!!
                        Wow! Cant you make a version of the move, rotate and scale tools that uses the gizmo? πŸ‘

                        P.S. I just hope you haven't given up on the UV Tools plugin... πŸ˜’

                          Yup - the gizmo will find its way into Vertex Tools 1.1.

                          Wikii got a gizmo plugin available (I've not tried it) - though it says it'll work only until 2011.
                          In any case - once the gizmo is done (need to make the rotate, scale3d, scale2d and scale1d functions) it'd be easy to make a standalone gadget.

                            Nope - but it also needs this manupulator gizmo. Once that is done I hope to get a first release out.
                            Vertex Tools, UV Tools and Bezier Surface share some reusable components so work on one often means benefit for the other. For instance, UV Tools will be of use for Bezier Surface as bezier surfaces are predictable surfaces that makes them easier to map.

                                I guess this is an inevitable next step after Vertex Tools. You have proven you are a master, already.

                                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                            Way cool TT!!!

                                            One question; will you be able to inference selected points with others? I see in the video where you have selected outside points and stretched them up then selected another few and moved then too. will you be able to move them to, say inference with the outside points as they were int he original position?

                                            Looking forward to the release!!!

                                            purpose/expression/purpose/....
