[Plugin] Simple Loft alpha 0.1b -- UPDATED May-15-09

No, not at this point. Only works with open "splines" that do not close, and they have to have the same amount of edge segments.
And unfortunately, getting it to work with closed splines will take a lot of re-programming
I probably won't get to that very soon. But in time. Its definitely do-able. I just need to re-think some things.Chris

Very nice Chris, you really have a handle on what is needed.....
BTW, I PM'd you about another idea for a script.
-
Thanks Andrew!
Chris
PS: Yes, I got the PM. I will have to get back to you on that, it sounds very interesting. And I might need some pictures to help wrap my head around the entire idea
-
Will send you a few pics and video's....
-
UPDATE! Script and video updated.
I've now got the bezier connections from spline to spling working. What does that mean?
Essentially the lofting actually works now. Its a huge improvement.
You still need to make all splines have the same amount of segments though. That will be the next piece I tackle, I promise!

video isn't loading.... Just get a white square...
-
It doesn't have a loading screen?
-
Sorry, its a big video. about 30mb and it takes a long time to load sometimes. So open that front page in another tab and let it load while you browse other pages.
Chris
EDIT: Or, as it turns out, I forgot to actually upload it to my server.
Try it again, thanks for the heads up! -
Oh your fast. Sorry, yeah I didn't upload it. So its uploading and should be ready now to try again.
Thanks for pointing it out!
Chris
EDIT: Still having issues....hold on.
EDIT AGAIN: OK, now its working!
-
Loading!

Wow Chris, this is amazing. Thank you very much for this and all of your other scripts.
-
Chris! That's fantastic!
If you find yourself in Norway I'll buy you a big pint of beer!
-
Again.....Thanks very much. This is just amazing....great update! And if your ever in Vancouver, I'll buy you a jug of beer!
-
Very impressive.
Be neat if you could add in something like Joseph Lieblinger's Soap Skin method to flex the triangulated surface.
Regards, John

No possibility to automate the clicks of curves?
the 10 curves are made with the Grow plug by Tig
-
Fantastic plugin.
Thank you very much for your hard work!
-
damn Chris, you are a genius...
can you please tackle the problems of cold nuclear fusion and faster than light travel, after you finish this plugin?
just a question... what if I WANT straight lines connecting faces? You know... for something that doesnt look organic... dunno... like a ship hull or something... maybe you can add, in the final version, option for connecting with splines or lines?

@Chris:
Thanks for another excellent effort in this Loft Tool.
This is to confirm proof of concept in the wild. I remodeled my guitar neck/body heel transition, and it worked very well. -
