[Plugin][WIP][OpenSource] Bezier Surface

thomthom

I wonder if "Error: #<Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8>" refers to the fact the default new plugins folder path is the "USER" and in my language it´s USUÁRIO with that accent over the A.

Yes ... but I thought I had fixed that. Exactly what version do you have installed?

thomthom

Meh! I can reproduce this. Another Ruby encoding issue with filesystem functions. I think I have a fix for this. Look for an update.

thomthom

Just realized I'd forgotten to push a couple of other fixes so I uploaded a new version now (0.1.3). Live on PluginStore - pending review on Extension Warehouse.

Aren't you the one reviewing extensions on EW? That seems beurocratic...

BTW what a great tool you have here... full of possibilities!

Would rival the rotated rectangle tool/pushpull combo if my buildings weren't so... well... flat!

Thanks again Thomthom!

I'm not the sole person handling it. And it wouldn't be right for me to review my own extension.

GREAT TOOL!
So easy to use. this took me 30 minutes, it's not anatomically correct but I think you can get quite close .
I've had limited time using this, is there a bug when you try to use it over an image, I tried drawing the patches over a reference image but the tool wouldn't work. When I clicked inside the box there was just a mesh of quad. the Bezier surface tools didn't appear.
To make this image I just started afresh. I will endeavour to try again soon to see if this is a problem or not.

cmeed

encountered a problem. All the patches have disappeared and it's now one mesh. Can't seem to get the patches back but I had great fun while it lasted.
Can't wait till I have more time to play with this
Cheers

I think that's the bug which I have a fix for already - will be released soon. I found that the bezier tool wouldn't always activate.

Though it appear to work again if I first draw a new temp patch.

Just to confirm, do you get any errors in the Ruby Console?

cmeed

Sorry no i didn't look at the ruby console.
So in future - do I have the ruby window open while I work or open it when something's happened. Just do I know for next time.
Great work. (As always)

I got it finally working.. It will do wonders for me...For once, I have a feeling Im working in Max environment. Clean mesh... Thank you so so much Thomthom. I look at you and I see possibilities for our beloved SU to conquer the 3d world..May your kind multiply..

BTW, Im still awaiting updates for the non destructive SubD..

Before - otherwise it won't be recorded. So if you experience problems, undo, open Ruby Console and try again.

It's coming along.

hello,

im litttle confused with this plugin. Ive got latest version, and toolbar looks different

Its about some older version, that had triangle surface?
And how can I precize manipulate with green, bezzier lines (to modify shape)?
Always when I try to model sommething symmetricval, I fail, becouse I cant do the same thing on both sides, becouse those green lines cant react with sketchup tricks (like shift+direction, or set lenght manualy).

Still great work and plugin

thomthom

That was some an older version. The Triangle Patch is removed because it was never implemented. The control points handling changed as well.

saldstudio

Thanks for reply. I hope this plugin will have a chance to develop

@thomthom

14 years later I discover Bezier Surface. What a great plugin. Working in SU 2022 Pro.

I'm getting the same but then again it's a 14 year old plugin. Works nice.
