    Hi guys, this is my first topic !

    I need to do a curve surface, for my graduate work, but i don´t
    no what tool can i use to do this.
    I use a Soap Skin & Bubble plugin to do a curve surface, but i
    don´t no if i can put a material in this face. Other problem is that
    surface, created by Soap Skin & Bubble tool, can´t be modify.

    To do a example, my surface is like oh my god, Zaha Haddid or Frank Gehry.

    Thanks.

      Also note that surfaces created by SSB are grouped so if you want to edit it in its delails (with other tools than native SSB itself) you have to double click (or right click > Edit) first to enter the groups entity.

      Also SSB skins are triangulated so you can even use the sandbox tools to further edit your skin.

      Note that since it is made up of smaller facets, texturing it may be a bit difficult with tiling textures. You could however quite fficiently project just one image on top.

        It might also be worth experimenting with the sandbox tools, especially the 'create mesh form contours' tool as it can do quite a good job of getting a good starting mesh which you can then elaborate on.
