Going off Michael's example in another thread, I wanted to make a shape by joining two solids (created with sweeps) using a loft. Works well.

Next I'll have to try making a real object.

Hi Ed,

i also try making real object (with sweep, boolean, mirror , cut and join, and moving some point)

it's pleasant to try to do everything with MoI (without import)

Excellent Lawrence.

I've never used a poly modeler as I work with mechanical shapes. But Max's script seems to fill a gap where you want the precision of Nurbs, but need some organic influence.

It's great this can be done entirely inside MoI. Probably not the preferred tool set to model a human head, but your eyeglass model is a perfect example of how I would want to use this script.

I do not think that pseudo Poly technique with Loft as was shown with glasses can replace Polygons and Sub-D. What you can do inside MoI trying to replicate SubD with Max's plugin is very primitive shapes. Now MoI has SubD module but do not have any good polygonal tools.

Hi Andrei,

i agree with you, MoI is not a polygonal modeler.
Perhaps some capabilities will come with version V6 or V7. I don't think that is a priority.
But I like to experiment this "pseudo technique" even if at begining i don't know where i go. Here it seems to be a snake skull :)

LAWRENCE, how many time you spent for this skull :)?

> how many time you spent for this skull ?

a moment of inspiration : one hour
:)

You are real experimentalist :)!

Well, I've been having a lot of fun with it!

ImportObj v1.2

New and almost fully rewritten version of the ImportObj script.
Now it always uses loft for triangles and quads and as a result produces a clean and editable grid.
Also improved normalization algorithm and overall speed.
Use "exact" parameter to disable normalization.

Cool!
Not yet French version but French section :)

Wonderful coding.

P.S. - Again, Thank you , from a Poly to NURBS Fan!

You're on the cutting edge here (more than some may comprehend) - FOLLOW THAT IDEA!

Thanks Max, works great!!!

D/L file just needs to be renamed with ".zip" extension.

ImportObj v1.3 :)
Added status info.
Some internal changes.

ImportObj 1.4

Made some fixes to avoid loft bug with very small values

Thanks Max, amazing stuff!

Max, Frenchy or anyone else.

Are the files at the front of this thread the latest and most current? If not, is there a standard place one can go to to get the most recent? Thanks for all the great work!!

It appears that the most recent versions are in the more recent posts...
So start from the last post and work backwards...:-)

Yes! Stay awake! ;)

I have a big problem, I used today SUBDIV Script first time, but now I can not import any OBJ, also after deleting the script I couldn't import any OBJ .. I didn't see that option since now ---
