            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.

                            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.

                                  Dear Chris,

                                  I cannot seem to get your plugin to work. The loft icon appears in my toolbar, and seems to work: it changes when selected and allows the selection of the two curves (simple arcs with the same number of segments), but then nothing. I even tried exploding the arcs, but still nothing.

                                  As usual, I put the simple_loft folder and loader in my plugin folder. Is it possible that one of my other plugins is causing a problem? I have tried your plugin on two different computers (home laptop and office desktop), but with the same result. Both have the same plugins. Curious.

                                  Kind regards,
                                  Bob

                                    This is console . I start loft and have this

                                    --> New Definition Added:
                                    --> 0
                                    --> nil

                                    I select arcs,press ok in GUI have this for 1 second

                                    --> New Definition Added:
                                    --> 0
                                    --> nil

                                    and than bugsplat....now this happens in SU7 even with simple curves.

                                      Dear Chris,

                                      I do apolgise. I had a senior moment, or to be more precise, I failed to read your instructions to the end. Hit ENTER was the missing step. Seems to work just fine now.

                                      Kind regards,
                                      Bob

                                        Hey Chris,

                                        Been playin' a bit...so far no probs. I'm on SU7 Pro, Vista if that helps.

                                          I checked V6 with only loft installed.
                                          It is bumping into another script or ?
                                          The same script set is on V7 and loft is OK there.??
                                          BTW the number of arcs 2-whatever still bombed.
