But, I recognize that Sketchup interface is easer than Rhino one
Sure but Moi (the little kid of Rhino
has the same easer use than Sketchup

thanks for pointing us to t-splines, minguinhirigue.
that sounds really good. so that is the way forward - and the way the organic SketchUp version has to go
-
I'd be happy to pay a limb if a Nurb or T-Spline modeler can be as intuitive as SU.

Chango, sounds like MoI is the thing for you.
And you dont even have to give away body parts.
MoI, 3D modeling for designers and artists
MoI is a new 3D Modeling/CAD application for designers and artists. Offering a blend of precision and freeform NURBS drawing tools, it sports a unique user interface that operates seamlessly with a pen tablet.

moi not have any free version
Moi has an "infinite" Demo version but you can't save anything!
So cool for infinite training
(use key "Print screen" can make some crazzy image anyway) -
i use various cad products and have dabbled in some of the modelling programs including 3ds Max and rhino. i totally agree that having a sketchup interface to allow nurbs modelling would make creation of complex 3d geometry much more intuitive. it is far nicer to manipulate geometry using realtime tools such as push / pull or follow me than delving into complex dialog boxes and altering parameters that are barely understandable at best. graphics products that operate more like manual drafting techniques are far more intuitive and are a more direct emphasis of the creative impulse. numbers get in the way of true creativity unless you are gifted in that faculty. it seems like sketchup could truly start a revolution in graphics if it supported nurbs modelling...just a thought

There is just a little problem!
Nurbs are not real time! Sometime you must wait the result of some calculates
You have not that with polygons modeler
Despite of that that is a terrific tools when precision is needed@unknownuser said:

Moi have that and more as you can use it only with a pen graphic!
Absolute pleasure for artists! Try it!
Historically the creator want to make the more ergonomic Nurbs modeler so... -
Something very similar to plot-pairs original idea is in 3dvia shape:
I must say that a tool like this would be fantastic for Sketchup.

see the new tools of bonzai3d, nurbs. he can create something like this for sketchup?

Why have NURBS in Sketchup? Why not just use Bonzai. The two applications where designed with different intention - NURBS or Surface Mesh, fundamental difference in the of that can't be changed by the flick of a switch.

...or use some dedicated little efficient ergonomic nurbs prog like Moi

It doesn't run on a Mac!
-
Doesn't Macs have built-in utilities to run Window apps?

the last time I gave up on bonzai it crashed every three minutes... was still beta then though.
might give it a shot again. -

might give it a shot again.Yea - the beta crashed all the time (not a big surprise for a 0.x beta). But I tried a trial of 1.1 - and I had not those problems then.
Just noticed that they offer this 2.0 release for free for existing 1.x customers.

Gentlemen,
We have found and fixed quite a few issues since the early beta days of bonzai3d, and it should be a much more mature, stable program now that we have released version 2!
