      Hi Fredo,

      I've download your fantastic plugin, but I'm not able to use it. I get the toolbar and menu items, and I've created the curves that I want to work on. Nothing happens at all. I've check the video 10 times and can't see what's wrong. It's the only Plugin that I have installed, after a reinstall of SU. Nothing in the Ruby console, in fact the same problem that 'Rachmatrf' have in June. I've looked through the forum for the answer to him, but failed to find the solution. Can you help ?

      Regards

      Jens

      Running XP SP3, and SU8

        Jason,

        I had a look and yes the design is quite impressive. I see of course where you used the plugins.
        You really should put a picture in your post.

        Fredo

          Hey Fredo,

          I am currently trying my best to learn how to use curviloft and I working on a project that I think fits alot of what the tool does -- since everyone else is sharing I thought I would too. This is a the arm for a robot from a show I watched as a child called Robotech (also known as Macross overseas).

          I am using curviloft, roundcorner, and JJP for alot of this -- you may also notice that this is a dynamic component and if you click on it I have rigged it to animate between 2 positions... although the poly-count is really stretching the limits of what can be animated.

          Thank-you for your plugins!

          ๐Ÿ’ญ I also forgot to mention I'm using your BZ toolbar set as well ๐Ÿ˜

          Best,

            NEW RELEASE: Curviloft 1.1a - 12 Jan 11

            Sorry for long absence. This new release hopefully includes a functional version of Loft Along Path, along with other fixes. It also support a two-phase loading.

            Note that you will need to upgrade to LibFredo6 3.6.

            There is still no documentation. So the best is have a look at the video:

                      Daniel,

                      You always find the right bugs. Thanks for that! This seems to be with 3 sides shapes.
                      I have a look.

                          Small bug signaled by Daniel S in Skinning (on 3-side shapes) is fixed.
                          You just need to upgrade to LibFredo6 3.6b

                                Hi Fredo,

                                Thank-you again for this -- I do have a slight request... I have some re-occurring twisting and if I take the time to align the verts manually the result comes out exactly the way I want, but manually setting the verts seems a bit temperamental at this point and I was wondering if it could be possible to set the "twist" parameters to decimal increments as it would solve my problem (1 is too large a change). See attached file for example.

                                If there is a better solution then I am very interested... I have split the profiles down the middle and successfully finished it that way.

                                Best,
                                Jason.

                                    Jason,

                                    In your case, the alignment issue can be solved by using naturalvertex matching, as opposed to best-fit of shapes(which is the default).
                                    Here is an illustration on your model. In your case, the natural 'straight' matching is more appropriate than the shape best-fit method.

                                    Fredo

                                    PS: by the way, your model is a good illustration for using the transversal Spline methods (like F-Spline, second icon from the right, in red). See in attached file

                                            I had some bugsplats due to the fact that I was still using an old version of JPP. (It was the libtraductor.rb file who caused it)
                                            But after upgrading both rudys work like charme.
