I don't think so....G2 is curvature continuity.
On the other hand, I have tried to create the same thing with _BlendEdge command in Rhino using Michael's stuff (from zip files) and analyse it and it seems MoI would be able to create even more smooth blend than Rhino...

You sure?!
This is a sreenshot from Npowers plugin for Rhino...

Natch!
  Position (G0)
  Tangency (G1)
  Curvature continuous (G2)
  Curvature continuous with a constant rate of change (G3)

Michael this is what I had in mind in terms of meshing.

In the pic you see a yelow line that "separets" the model.
Any chance that you add parametar that would relate to angle like this...
eg. from 45-90 deg. dens meshing and from 0-45 deg. corase meshing

Im saying this because usualy when meshing an object like this one, you would look at those ending edges that are coming almost purpendicular to Cplane.
In that area I would like to have dens meshing so that transitions remains "smooth"....by doing this, I would unnecesry mesh the upper area where I dont need so fine meshing because of the angle thats geting almost paralel to Cplane.

This would realy be an optmization of the mesh so you dont end up with unnecesary meshes where they are not neded.

What do you think?

Hi Kreten, I think it might be a bit difficult to add in parameters that reference specific world directions, since then the parameters become very specific to just one part instead of working in a general way on all objects. Like for instance if you rotated that model, you probably wouldn't expect the meshing to change, but it would if there was special attention being applied to "perpendicular to cplane" versus "parallel to cplane"...

But it also looks to me like the part that you want to get meshed more heavily has somewhat tighter curvature than the top part - isn't it already getting meshed with more polygons than the top part if you move the slider up a bit?

The slider controls an angle parameter, but it is an angle between surface normals, not between a world direction. But this should generally give denser meshing in areas with tighter curvature...

- Michael
