Re: Thomas Sanladerer at it again

Well, that is certainly a much more reasonable statement than your previous one Not everyone writes novels. Greetings user1234 Nice insult. Back to your previous statement. You are really a master in misinterpreting, as always. Where did you read that nonsense? This was never a decisions a maindeve...

Re: Thomas Sanladerer at it again

You are really a master in misinterpreting, as always. Where did you read that nonsense? This was never a decisions a maindeveloper, this comes from the prevailing mood from community on that time. Also there already attempts to change it, just not implement. And here comes the gaslighting again. '...

Re: Thomas Sanladerer at it again

Unfortunately there is some opposition from a few core developers to this change a and, honestly, I can't really understand this position. Allowing multisolids doesn't mean that you have to use them. If you don't want nobody will ever force you to put more than one solid in a Body. Nevertheless the...

Re: Silk: a NURBS workbench

Thanks @PrzemoF, if nothing else he proves it is possible with the Curves WB. I will have to keep trying. Yes, I was aware that this video was not a detailed tutorial, and only pointed it out to add data for you to decide between Silk, Curves, or something else entirely. The fact that he at least s...

Re: Silk: a NURBS workbench

Youtube user Rafael3D (https://www.youtube.com/@Rafa3D - spanish language) has just shared a model with me and allowed me to post it here. volante_01.FCStd this is a case of G1 modeling that takes advantage of symmetry to get great results. it's a remix of my steering wheel grip that he remade compl...

Re: Silk: a NURBS workbench

way to get two 4x4 surfaces next to each other that are already smooth... a long long time ago, when i was still trying to make the surfaces 'line up good directly', i got up to this point, following G1 rules: loft with rails - very crude.png lofting with rails - Bezier G1 is not enough.png . align...

Re: Silk: a NURBS workbench

here i use my best tricks to get G3 directly on the 4X4 surfaces, so that i get better than just mirror good across the mirror plane. this is a fairly complex setup, and although it can do more than mirrors, it is currently limited to the halfway point of a surface or curve.

Re: Silk: a NURBS workbench

now let's try to get something 'nice' out of this model. i made the node length ratio 1:1 instead of 3:2, and made the 3L sketches have vaguely similar shapes. now you can see the grid is fairly evenly spaced. it's nothing amazing, but it may fulfill a job.

Re: Silk: a NURBS workbench

what was the point of all this? Well, we don't have to use ugly curves. and we can edit this model. let's change the center 3L sketch. pull the zig-zag line up. the model updates on the drop portion of a sketching drag-drop. this is fairly close to realtime...and actually WAY better than realtime. r...
