[Plugin][WIP][OpenSource] Bezier Surface

thomthom · 1 Mar 2011, 07:36

maybe this could become part of vertex tools to make it more attractive now that artisan has added vertex tools.

The two products will be kept separate. Vertex Editing and Bezier Patches are two completely concepts and mixing it them would just complicate the plugins and make them more difficult to market.

Vertex Tools will be getting an update before I fully focus on Bezier Surface.

Lately I've not had time to work on either. I've had to take care of non-computer related stuff. (a.k.a. real life)

Shame you have a real life, too.

On occasions it feels very surreal...

Yup! I felt I needed to slip a tease in order to keep up the pressure of working on it. I've had a quiet period for a while now. But it ain't easy with summer coming up 'n stuff.

I anticipate this innovation with great anticipation. No redundancy intended

Sort of Vertex Tools on steroids. Love your use of the gizmo (I still have problems with Vertex Tools getting them to move in a fixed direction - any chance of slipping gizmos into VT?)

The Gizmo will be ported to Vertex Tools when it's done.

Looking good

You must have had your finger on the Reply trigger during my edit

thomthom · 26 Apr 2011, 19:33

It won't be a replacement. Vertex Tools and Bezier Surface do their very own specialised function.

I really like the look of the bezier handles in the screenshot.
Will there be both linked and unlinked handles for smooth and hard corners?

Yes. And manual and automatic interior points.
I'll compile a list of planned features for the initial and future releases.

Now you've made me drool all over my keyboard...again.

It looks very very promising!
Zaha Hadid's architecture cuold no longer be a mirage in Sketchup with such a plugin!
Congratulation.
Keep working on it
