      Hoping for some help with a project. I'm trying to make a scale aircraft nosecone. To try to match the contours precisely I've divided the nosecone into two front/back sections with four quadrants each. Overall view with quadrants skinned.  Crack is on the top left-right junction. I can easily skin each quadrant and this worked pretty well for the forward section. The problem is at some of the skin junctions between quadrants on the back section. With default skinning parameters I get a sharp corner transition between quadrants. Sharp corner at top-bottom junction When I "Swap rails and Profiles" the sharp transition goes away.Rail swap removes sharp corner but... However, I now get a weird "buttcrack effect" between the left and right quadrants. ![The "crack". Hard to capture but very noticeable when panning along the junction line.](/uploads/imported_attachments/1jFS_Crack.png "The "crack". Hard to capture but very noticeable when panning along the junction line.") It's faint and does not exist across the entire length of the junction but it is there and noticeable in the model. I've made sure that the cross section contours are flat horizontal or vertical across the junctions but I still get these effects. I'm using vertex-to-vertex matching but I've tried the other options as well with minimal effect on result. Any idea on what's causing the "crack" and how to resolve it?


      The model, skins mostly removed to fit under the 5Mb limit.

            Many of Fredo's tools have become paid extensions which now require a license to use them.

                The trial period is 30 days starting the day you install it. Not sure if there's anything Fredo6 can do about the passage of time.

                    You need to re-evaluate what you said. You're misinformed

                    I think at this point I will take it as a sign of the times and move to Blender.

                    Blender has a very strong commercial ecosystem too.

                        Hi Fredo6!

                        I am working with an old windows machine on win7 and su 2015.

                        Is there any download link for an older Curviloft version to work with (works with SU 2015)?

                        Thanks a lot 😎

                          Hi

                          Can you please tell me how I can buy the Fredo6Bundle2022 license, and what plugins it includes?
                          Is this the same for a lifetime licence of 3 seats?

                          thanks

                            This I don't fully understand...

                            But the Bundle has 8 extensions listed in the link above. Each extension has a license for 3 seats.

                                I was trying to use this plugin, but after installing it in the warehouse manager, it says that the plugin is expired. But this is the first time I have installed it

                                    Hi Fredo,

                                    I recently purchased the whole bundle of the tools and they are amazing. I have experienced a problem with one of the tools - Curviloft - Skinning. It does not seem to produce consistent results for a simple system of edges which create a triangulated 3D surface. There are always a number of triangles which become distorted - not planar.

                                    I wonder what I am doing wrong. Would appreciate if you can assist.

                                    Attached is the sample file containing the edges as well as the result after the command is executed.

                                    Looking forward from hearing from you.

                                    Regards

                                    Miho Mihov

                                          First time downloading Curviloft and RoundCorner and it says license is expired. Never used the extension before. We suppose to get the trial for 30 days right? Rather no need to mention free trial if there's no intention to give free trial.

                                            Did you download and install the required Sketchucation Extension Store tool before downloading Curviloft and RoundCorner and then use it to install the extensions?
