Blend 2 non-planar surfaces??

ivreich · 10 Jan 2011, 03:59

Hi

Just wondering if there are (or will be) any new tools that will allow two non-planar surfaces to blend smoothly into one another, like the blendsrf command in Rhino (see attached image)

I know this can be accomplished rather slowly with some of the edge tools/loft tools/blend tools that already exist, but maybe some of our script gurus out there could optimise and fine-tune this process like what Rhino has?

Cheers

Joel

I think Thom is working on a bezier patch script that might be good for something like that.

Yea, it will be able to do that.

Do you really mean you'll handle non-planar faces ???
or blend two meshes together with a soft polygonal mesh

It's bezier surface meshes. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=32810
So it'll be able to make a blend between two bezier patches.
