[Plugin] 2 Faces + Path ver. 1.5.

dylan

Great Ruby, thanks Krill.

People have been wanting this for a long time

Hey Kiril, didn't know where to post this so that it would be easier, so i thought id post on both.
the 2 faces and path tool only works for faces along 1 path. is it possible to blend two lines (or splines) along a path ?

heres an example.

Great ruby, Kirill!

Kirill,

Thank you for this plugin. It's very useful.

I am having some problems with it, however. I've attempted to reproduce what you've shown in the last video for v1.4 with a circle, square and arc. I can get the geometry alright but I cannot get the front face color on the outside (short of opening the group, selecting the faces and reversing them the old fashioned way) nor can I get the color change from one end to the other as you did when you painted one face red.

What am I missing? I did just install version 1.4 so it should be a fresh install of the plugin.

Thanks again.

Dave

Hey! Seems a very strong and funny plug!
Very cool : result gives 3 groups in the same time
Shell, faces and curves (curves not shown here)
So you must move or hide / erase some of them for a render!
From ellipse to cross (click the image)

Salut Pilou,

C'est genial ce que tu as fait.

Can you please show us how you did it? I would like to see the different shapes and the curve.

Merci beaucoup!

Have a wonderful day.

An arc, an ellipse, a cross: when the drawing is made you can turn, move, scale original generators for explore variations
Can't be more simple A Crazzy plug!
Et voila click image if scroll bar

Awesome! Thank you very much.

Hmm..ok, so I tried it and here's what I got.

Any ideas why? Thanks.

It's works for me because I use an oldest version

Hi, Ken.
This is an issue I'll try to fix it. The problem is that "Process closest distances" method works good only for faces bounded by convex polygons. You may try "Process nearest indices" shape morphing option, but it sometimes causes inside-outs.
"Process nearest indices" method does not depend on face bound topology.

BTW, if someone try to process faces with more complex topology (I mean, faces with internal holes), then plugin will also fail to make an appropriate morphing, regardless of chosen shape morphing option.
For example we have 2 faces: 1-st has circular outer loop and 3 square internal holes, 2-nd has square outer loop and 2 circular internal holes. Well... I must say, the decision what kind of morphing would be more appropriate becomes pretty unobvious . But I think that such task (the above mentioned example) is very exotic one and has no practical utilization.

perfect!
thank you so much!

Thanks, Kirill! Looking forward to the updated plugin. Take care.

Hi hsjyangbin,

I think you meant to ask Kirill. He's the one who wrote the plugin.

I have no idea about code. lol

thanks a lot

pilou

Seems there is a little glitch !
Don't works for all these sort of "pierced faces" !
CLick if scrollbars

Thank you very much!

I am having some difficulty with this shape. It is a spiral with a shape, and it tapers as it it travels down the spiral.

I thought this plug would work but I am getting odd results.

Any ideas?

Thank you for all,

Use the Perpendicular face tool by Chris Fullmer for put your 2 faces at the extremities of the curve!
Don't take care of their positions explode the groups select all
and launch 2 faces + path

museummaker

Hi Frenchy,

I used that when I set up the model. Also tried flipping the normals on the shaped ends, various options in the dialog box, its not behaving like I thought. Driving me crazy

pilou

Maybe it's your curve! I have drawn a new one
