Bezier Surface Updating.....
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..

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

The song from Ghost is in my head now.

There's a procrastinators beware message... Hand it over!

Glad it's available in the SCF pluginstore.

Impossible to valide the second point of the patch!

I have the last TT_lib2

Seems in 2014 no compatibility with SketchyPhysics 3, Scalp
Patch is drawn with the grid
but now i have just the menu one time on the right Click
then no possibility to edit the patch!

Just this on the Ruby Console

nextFrame()->updateMainWnd()

Box

What an outstandingly wonderful tool.

pilou

For any reason after relaunch SU that works!
Waiting the manual for translate it in French!

Maybe because Thomthom published it yesterday

Pixero

Thanks, will come in handy for all those soft surfaces.

This is so cool!
I'm not gonna get any work done now playing with this

How do you add Tripatch to Qaudpatch ? Possible ?

jolran

Some really nice editing capabilities there, with the Gizmo and all. WOW!

So you decided to release it non commersial, huh ?

For some time now I have been working on curves and surfaces for my node editor, maybe
I can try making it compatible with you patches as well, now that your code is in public...
That would be cool to use your tools after baking down geometry..

Do you use Knotvectors for the patches ? Or are they interval-based type powerbasis functions ?
Edit: Ah right, they are not spline-based, (duh). So you go through the C-extensioncode right ?

Select the edges you want to add to then click add patch and it will follow the shape.
