Curviloft (Beta) Plugin Tutorial
-
Amazing stuff. I have a laughable question. Can you please tell me where I find the sub division options you have used at the start of your tutorial? I can`t seem to find it!

Hi Guy,
the subdivision is done automatically By Curviloft. The bending of the objects is done by orthogonal junction by Bezier curves. See Image below.

Hi,
With simple geometric shapes can be created the most amazing ornaments. If, for example, useful for stucco.

Hi,
Robert111 was asking for a Tutorial for this crown Object shown in the image below. The original model i deleted some weeks ago.
Draw some curves. Place some faces with the perpendicular faces plugin. scale each face as you want.
Connect all Faces with Curviloft and make it group. Copy and flip the copy and put it together and group it again and copy the new goup. The new group may now scaled if you want more thickness for example.
Rotate or flip the group to the z-direction and place it at a circle. Than make Rotate copy, that's all.
I have also made the edge with perpendicular faces and Curviloft.

thanks charly , you are very generous

Hi Pilou,
I didn't understand your english sentences not correct.

Maybe it's more clear like this

It's a pity
we can use component for Curviloft
but alas Edit component don't make tranformations on the result
Or I miss something
-
Pilou,
I understood it still not likely. The Curviloft object is a new group. The two components remain as components. The Curviloft object you can edit and change. Or you explode all objects and then you can change the result as you want.

That is the problem
Imagine : you have your gem
Just edit the component (face) and you will have an infinities of variation without pain
But alas that is not possible
Here example with Component Stringer
I modify just the component and all is modified
and here with Curviloft

so cool

thank u so much charle

This is a great thread, but is anyone else experiencing problems with pages loading, supposedly because of the sheer amount of image files having to load? I'm finding this thread pretty slow to view.

charly can you make tuot for this modeling with subdivide and smooth
thanks charly

Hi Curviloft Fans,
some CurviArt variations from a basic form.
Charly
-
very impressive. thanks for posting these examples!
-
Thanks, Charly. I hope to tame the powerful beast with the insights you have shared, or at least not be consumed by it.

When I've got the transitions previewed (in black), I find I am unable to orbit to really inspect the thing (like you do, Rich, in your demo tuts). If I try the operation is cancelled. Is there a secret?
-
Charly,
I have an irregular column shape I'm trying to make using curviloft. Stitching the circle and the shapes together should have worked but it did not. Do the segments on each shape have to be equal in number?
also the top of the planter is not flat it should be from with a curve in the z plane. Not certain how I would construct this.
How can this be done? See attached skp file.

Is this the result you seek?
Select the three 'profiles' of edges and run CurviLoft.
The initial result might be somewhat twisted, because the top circle's 'start' is rotated relative the the 'starts' of the other curves... but you can easily relocate that point around the curve in the tool.... before committing to the form...
