      I believe you could author a toolset like T-spline!

      I don't know about that, least not yet. I'm struggling with the math of plain ol' bezier patches. T-Splines is some very clever stuff.

        TT,
        Please update us as to where you are at with the Bezier Surfae tool development. We are all waiting on this one for a long time. Well let say you are crossing over two franchises, from Google to now Trimble.

        thanks,
        James

          Yea, it's been taking a long time. It's been a much bigger project than I'd imagined.

          I've done, what I think, is most of the core. I've begun to work on the tools to manipulate the meshes now.

              "Courage" Thom! this is going to be a wonderful tool, an indispensable one. May be your "Chef d'oeuvre".

                I think it's best if I aim for a more basic first release - then do more continuous smaller updates evolving it.

                  Many thanks Mr. Thomas for the great efforts in providing very useful plugines for SU. I really aspire to have this plugin into geometry application of SU very soon. I know it is a big project that you didn't imagine it would take that much of time, but at least you got an idea now about the remaining percentage of completing this project.

                  Regards,

                        win8.1x64 @SU2015x64 & SU2013, both happened
                        Should be there any bugs with others plugins?

                          Can you share example model or screenshot?
                          Any errors in the Ruby Console?

                            what the? this thing is cool 👍

                            a question..
                            is there a way to control the segmentation yet? like, max angle = 5º (or whatever) and anything steeper will break down to two (or more) segments until the maximum mesh angle has been achieved?

                                    probably.. for me, it seems great to quickly mess around with new shape ideas.. like clay in a way..

                                    it's the controller (widget, gumball, whatshername) that makes it so fast.

                                        Glad it's available in the SCF pluginstore.
