      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!

            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.

            EDIT: Or, as it turns out, I forgot to actually upload it to my server. 😳 Try it again, thanks for the heads up!

              Thanks for pointing it out!

              Chris

              EDIT: Still having issues....hold on.

              EDIT AGAIN: OK, now its working!

                        Very impressive.

                        Be neat if you could add in something like Joseph Lieblinger's Soap Skin method to flex the triangulated surface.

                          No possibility to automate the clicks of curves? 😉
                          the 10 curves are made with the Grow plug by Tig

                              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.

                                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                      Interesting...it works no problem on SU6 with 2 or more arcs.

                                        If you are refering to my case ....they had only same number of segments but not same curves.

                                          Bummer Sepo, your getting splats on any loft in v7?

                                          Could you attach a file with shapes that splat? I'm not sure if this is a script conflict splat or if you guys are using it in ways that never crossed my mind (like with shape bender, I'm amazed at what people make that script do!).

                                          So perhaps attach some example models and I'll take a look. Thanks!

                                          Chris

                                          EDIT: Sorry, in that previous post I was answering dtrarch - I'll edit it to make it more clear.

                                          Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                            @dtrarch - Lofting 3 equal arcs in SUv6 gives bug splats? But 2 equal arcs do not, correct? Could you post a model that splats?

                                            I'll look into it and I have a pretty good idea where in the code to start looking. I can't think of anything I've done that should splat though. Oh well, I'll try to check it out.
