...and on and on and on.

      I noticed that after deleting a surface that I'd applied control points to I got this going on in my Ruby window ad infinitum, it's going so fast I had a hard time even copying it.

      I got this to happen by creating a surface, applying control points, using them to deform the surface (with a couple of "undos") and then deleting the surface. Only way to get it to stop was to restart SU.

        this is getting better and better
        now all we need is a visual representation (ideally interactive 😉 ) for the weight.

          Thanks for the report. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

                Krill, would it be possible to have an option to place a cage of control points on a mesh? Perhaps one FFD style cage box option for people used to that method and another that would place evenly distributed control points which would conform around the mesh at a given distance. You're already 80% of the way to a new type of Free Form Deformation plugin, might as well go all the way and improve on the existing.

                  yes that would be great since FFD thread says "Unfortunately, I am out of time to work on this script. If anyone wants to pick it up contact me. The code is simple and (for me) well commented. It needs a UI and bug fixes." and doesn't seem to be progressing. 👍

                          Awesome plugin Kirill!!!

                          Will be possible to add control points automatic to have this results?
                          If you select a line:
                          Deform in SU 1.gif
                          If you select a face:
                          Deform in SU 2.gif

                          PS: I suppose that ask to add automatic slicing to entities like Fredoscale does (Bend, Twist...) would be asking too much?

                            This is pretty much what I was asking here:

                            http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=25082

                            In Blender they use variable "brushes" with adjustable radius of influence, sort of like the inverse square law, or sort of like -BTM's Sculpt tools. But the deformations can be spherical, or even planar. Your gifs show a sort of spherical effect.

                            This ability would be delicious

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

                                The work on ver. 1.6. is still in progress...
                                The current stage new features:

                                • wireframe preview of geometry group deformation is a bit faster now
                                • ability to interact with curve control points is also available now

                                Demo video (first 3 minutes are about faster wireframe, last ones about curve control points):

                                ver. 1.6. (prerelease again)

                                Well, LibFredo6 is also free and open source and I think that almost everyone has it (Fredo tools are must-have ones), so, I guess, it is possible to utilize 'automatic slicing' if it is already implemented and present within the library. At least I'll try to.
                                Actually, I thought about something like adaptive tessellation around control point before, so I was going to make it anyway sooner or later.

                                  I see in your 1.5 update that you've fixed the "undo" error.

                                  Fantastic, and thanks again for a great plugin!!

                                    First steps of interactive face deformation:
                                    [flash=480,385:2m8btgdg]http://www.youtube.com/p/8AB5C9C23863405C&amp;hl=ru_RU&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"[/flash:2m8btgdg]
                                    The initial face dividing was actually not so difficult. Treating deformed result surface as a single entity is more tricky... I don't know yet how to do it. So ver. 1.6. release is delayed again.

                                    ver. 1.6. prerelease

                                      ver. 1.6.(prerelease)

                                      • 2 modes of interactive curve control points dragging: 1) 'preview' mode: shows curve preview while dragging, 2) 'full' mode: deforms the curve (it affects instances 'glued' to curve immediately, but sometimes causes SU crashes...), <Home> key to switch to 'preview' mode, <End> key to switch to 'full' mode.

                                      Video shows 2 modes difference, when curves which are under control are also in use within 'blended object' (sublend.rb)

                                            New version:
                                            ver. 1.6.( prerelease)
                                            New features:

                                            • the current version shows geometry deformation preview while moving control points (both geometry group control c-points and curve control c-points)
                                            • it is possible to choose preview mode by hitting <Ins> key (3 modes available: 1. flat-faced surface, 2. surface + edges, 3. wire)
