[Plugin][WIP][OpenSource] Bezier Surface

thomthom

Looks promising !! Any idea about a beta release ?

No - since I do this on the side of my full time job it's impossible for me to guarantee anything. Even if I did this as my main job it'd be hard to make a guess.

I just don't want to throw random dates out there. But I'll try to post back updates on the status of the project.

It looks very promissing....

At the moment you can't. It's still under development.

Watching that video, I was moved to tears. Perhaps it was the music. Perhaps it is the longing.
I am definitely impressed both by the Plugin and the high quality video.

Hope to show off more fun stuff once I've completed the rewrite of the core needed to implement the next set of tools and features. Ran into a little roadblock.

I feel quite bad for having teased people with this for two years!

In German we say "Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude."
No idea if the google translation "Anticipation is half the fun." make sense?!

May the force be with you...

thomthom

At some point the anticipation isn't fun any more...

Wow, performance seems very quick.
May I ask, is it all Ruby?

At the moment, yes. Though I expect that eventually some will need to be ported to C - like I did with Vertex Tools. But the biggest bottleneck is SketchUp itself - in that adding geometry gets slower the more geometry is already in the model.

iichiversii

Take your time TT, looking forward to the release, it will be an addition to vertex tools, keep up the great work

You mean the total amount of edges-faces in model or the subdividing procedure?

But still, all Ruby you say. That looks like you got some nice realtime response, thought you pulled some C extension on it already.

Hope you find time to do some more tutorials on C-extensions later then

This should be at the very core of Sketchup's future release.. Amazing tool. Your'e brilliant Thomas!..I believe you could author a toolset like T-spline!
