Hi,
whishes
and excuse mee if i am repeating whishes whished before...


1.
I think developable surface unrolling would be a good idea.
A lot of nice things can be made from single curved surfaces.
Here are some nice examples: http://www.omkrets.se
It also has a great usefullness in making boat hulls, where you want it when the materials involved cannot be stretched.

2.
Some curvature analysis tools
Max and min curvature points of curves, and inflecion points would be useful.
Marking the very point of max/min values, with a point object, is what i am thinking of.
I like the idea of having the exact point, instead of the color map often found in other progs.
Maby this can be extended to surfaces too.

I have a feeling such things are in Mois ally, just not sure how much focus it should have.
Any comments/other ideas?

Thanks

Hi Fredrik, I have added these to the wishlist (http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist) to keep track of them.

But #1 is not really an area that I have much experience in, that's probably something that will be more likely to get added by a 3rd party as a plug-in at some point in the future when I can focus on enabling those, rather than something that I build directly in to MoI's core.

#2 is more feasible for me to add somewhat sooner, but it needs to wait until I have a good strategy in place for adding a set of "advanced" tools without really having too big of an impact on the regular top-level UI.

Hi Michael,

>>adding a set of "advanced" tools without really having too big of an impact on the regular top-level UI.

I dont know what you have in mind for that, but I would request the possible addition of a "Curvature Graph" for curves, as I think it is probably the easiest visual guide to follow for manually smoothing out curves (I have seen requests for re-building curves/surfaces, but not a request for a Curvature Graph.)

I see on the wishlist, it as already been requested for the possible addition of surface analyze~ Zebra, again I think that is about the easiest visual guide, so would second that request.

Regards,

Steve
