Looks like a great solution to merge the respective advantages of Sub-D and NURBS. Perhaps an extra-cost option integrated into MoI someday?

That would be cool! Right now it looks like they have it set up as a kind of separate library, I don't know if they plan to include it directly in Solids++ or not.

Definitely a lot of potential for the future there.

Yeah, I was looking at that - do you know that the Gem thing is?

Hi NightCabbage,

> do you know that the Gem thing is?

I think that's the name they're giving to a set of new libraries that they are developing.

I see they have 2 distinct licensing options... A monthly fee and a one time payment! Maybe somebody with a ton of doe will buy Michael an unlimited developers license and we can get this as an Import option!!! :o

Maybe Integrityware will recognize that Michael is "cutting edge" integrating the poly/NURBS world and "Give him a license Gratis", as a Marketing tool for their product!!! ???? :o

I wonder if this process could also make possible a nurbs to subd meshing...

Likely it won't - that is a really different kind of a thing since that has to deal not just with regular surfaces all by themselves, it also has to deal with trim curves that are marking various holes in the surfaces.
