You're absolutely right, forgot about that! Thank you Pilou!

Hi Suiyan,

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this!

Hi Gunter,

re:

> with the way the geometric section lofts to the more rounded section:

Could you maybe describe a little about what it is that you're not happy with?

One thing you may want to do is instead of doing the loft between 2 long curves instead divide up the smooth curve and do a separate loft for each separate straight piece to a curved piece. You'll then be controlling how the sharp to smooth shapes merge together instead of using the default merging.


> I was wondering if there's another option to lofting?

Well if you put in lines from each sharp point down to the smooth curve or do it in sections you could also do sweep or network instead of loft.

最可能的原因:直接使用封闭的线框loft效果不好。结果:join srf。construct→planer,一圈edge→join—close curve→loft=solid。这可能是moi需要一个判断线在同一平面,因为线框=点对点join形成,不涉及是否为平面作为判断条件。
(The most likely reason is that using a closed wireframe loft directly does not have a good effect. Result: Join SRF. Construct → planner, circle edge → join → close curve → loft=solid. This may be because moi needs a criterion to determine whether the line is in the same plane, as the wireframe=point-to-point joint formation does not involve whether it is a plane as the criterion.)

所以,如果您经常制作宝石状模型,并习惯使用loft优化的流程增加:planer→edge→join—close curve→loft=solid。
(So, if you frequently create gem shaped models and are accustomed to using the loft,optimization process to increase: planner → edge → join → close curve → loft=solid.)
moi是简易的3D软件,因此对元素的判定过程,不像工业设计软件那样自动化。工业设计软件中close curve and planer=在loft命令选项中选择一圈edge or curve,无论它们原本是否是close curve。moi planer close curve =curve→join—close curve→planer→edge to close curve
(Moi is a simple 3D software, so the process of determining elements is not as automated as industrial design software. In industrial design software, close curve and planner=Select one week edge or curve in the loft command option, regardless of whether they were originally close curves. moi planer close curve =curve→join—close curve→planer→edge to close curve )
