      Early development demo of Bezier Surface for Google SketchUp.


      Bezier Surface is now free and open source!
      http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2014/11/bezier-surface-for-sketchup-is-now-open-source/


      The goal is to create a set of tools to create and manipulate parametric bezier patches in SketchUp.

      [flash=960,745:1m1qfcbo]http://www.youtube.com/v/2tLC0oIbKS0?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1[/flash:1m1qfcbo]

      The above video is far from a finished product - merely the beginning.
      When entering a group or component with a bezier surface the editing tools are automatically activated.

      Estimated release: When it's done! πŸ˜‰ (Some time next year)

                      Why not coons surfaces, seems that is very similar? πŸ˜‰

                      Does it possible to have more than 4 sides?

                            πŸ˜„ So I take it there is an interest for such a tool then - and not just me coding into oblivion. phew

                            Until right now I'd never heard of coons surfaces...

                            No, there will be Tri and Quad Patches - these are combined into various configurations to create one surface. Like you do in 3DSMax's patch modelling.

                            Most probable pay. This plugin is becoming rather complex. So I expect it to be something in the lines of Vertex Tools.

                            When time is ready, yes. Before that there will be a new round of Vertex Tools. πŸ˜‰

                            mhm. And airplanes, cars, product designs and whatnot.

                            The parametric nature of it makes it easy to model in low subdivision and then just apply a model wide multiplier right before you export your final image or render. I'm thinking it should also be possible to have a LOD setting that will adjust the subdivisions of the meshes depending on the current viewport. (components will be a challenge here...)

                              I don't care for cars and aeroplanes but like ships. Old ships especially.

                                I purchased Vertex Tools, because it works, and I want to support the efforts of those of you who create quality plugins. It is, what makes SU a more powerful, useful product. I can't wait for Bezier Surface to become available. Fantastic, thanks in advance for your efforts!

                                          Wow, that looks like a cross between SDS and Sketchy FFD, I can see this useful for many things but especially cloth modelling. 😍

                                            Looks great. I have the old Bezier patch plugin by Victor Liu but this looks so much better.

                                            Just at the end after watching it two times I realised something... 😲 ...a transform gizmo!!!
                                            Wow! Cant you make a version of the move, rotate and scale tools that uses the gizmo? πŸ‘

                                            P.S. I just hope you haven't given up on the UV Tools plugin... πŸ˜’
