>>>>If anybody can think of a method to get that result without leaving MOI Id be interested to know>>>>

I wanted to look at this for some learning. Although Michael has probably given a proper workflow, this is how I would fix it in MoI.

I projected curves onto the seperated tounge surface then ran a loft and joined it back in. It seems to have cleaned up that one area a bit, but maybe I have produced other pitfalls I dont see. Feedback welcome.

I did notice that trying to loft it, was creating some funcky stuff up at the tip of the tongue, where I was trying to end it with the little "arc". I tried a few different methods, and it would create a joined surface, but not sure if something here is problematic later down the road for something else???

Anyway, just focused with tunnel vision on the one little area and removed the crease from the join.

Hey guys
Burrman, your results are similar to what I was getting.
Here's what your model looks like when rendered.



And here's what I was trying to do.Following Steve's advice I had to abandon the idea of doing2 sweeps or 2 network plus a blend at the U spot (because MOI currently lacks continuity options in both of these commands) and did 3 blends instead so that continuity is ensured.



You can check my model which I attached.
This brings me to my next request/question for Michael. In case (like in the attached file) the multi blended surface (which now has multiple edges on one end) has to be attached to another surface with a single edge,will it be possible to accomodate that in the V3 version of the blend command ?
I'm sure a multiple edge blend was requested but I'm not sure if a multiple edge to a single edge blend was.

Thanks STEVE and Michael and everybody else with your feedback

Niko,
I didnt redo the U shape part, I only focused on the part you were pointing to at the top of the U where it crossed the surface.

Hi niko yes I do expect to do an update to Blend in v3 to handle strings of multiple edges along each side instead of only a single edge on each side.

That plus a "Match" surface editing tool would help significantly for this kind of modeling I think.

Thanks Michael
That along with the continuity options for network and sweep would be extremly powerful and useful in V3

How about this one?

Right on Burr man, could you please explain your workflow?
It is slightly different than mine and I have an idea how you did it but I woul like to hear nevertheless.

Hi Niko,
I wanted control points to be able to manipulate so I recreated the surface.

I untrimmed your surface (first I captured the curves of the tongue.... outer and inner) then projected the bunch of lines onto it. I drew a line and rebuilt it to have a bunch of points. Arrayed that and projected onto the hull surface. Then I lofted the new surface so it had a new point stucture. Then I rebuilt the curves that I extracted from the original tongue so they were a nice continuous curve. Then I trimmed the hull with the curves leaving a tongue with points in it that would allow me to drop the end down for the blend area. I could then do just one blend. The only issue I was struggling with was trying to stop the blends distance. You can see it is really stretched out long on the top portion.

But the jist was to have the hull have more points to allow the shaping of the tongue with a single surface that could be blended in one shot.

Let me know if that is not clear and I can show more detail. Thanks for letting me participate and learn from your model!
