HI Michael,

found one bug with bezier, or at least a weird behaviour,

as you can see in the attached screenshot and file, the left is the expected result (I tweaked the right object to get it) and on the right is the orginal output of the bezier function, it was created out of the for outlining curves, which has a dent in the middle. To reproduce you just deleted the faces of the right object, select all 4 curves and bezier,
regards,

Thor

Thanks for reporting this Thor, I should be able to fix it for the next beta.

It is related to having exact arc curves on opposite sides. Sometimes these curves have to be treated a little differently when multiple curves are being combined together into one.

One of the next things I am going to work on is a better way for synchronizing multiple curves together - this work will help out in this situation and also for sweep and loft as well.

At the moment, if you actually add a 3rd section running down the middle, it will actually work better for this particular situation with arcs on both sides.

- Michael

Hi Aeron - here is a better explanation.

To use div snap first you must create a construction line. You create a construction line when you are in a drawing command (for instance Draw curve / line) by clicking and holding down and dragging the mouse instead of clicking and releasing.

After you have done a click + drag to create a construction line, there will be a little tag that appears above your mouse:



If you move your mouse over that tag, it will light up. Click and hold down for a moment on that tag and it will launch a menu, this is where you can define div snap:



For example if you want to snap to thirds along that line (1/3, 2/3, etc..) then put in "3" in that Division snap box.

The divisions are defined between the 2 endpoints of the construction line that you drew. When you draw a construction line, it is defined by 2 points, the point you start the drag at, and the point that you released the mouse over.


Here for example I dragged out a construction line between the ends of 2 other lines, and set up a div snap so now I can snap to 1/3 the distance between those endpoints:



The divisions continue along the entire infinite extent of the construction line, so you can also snap to spots like 41/3 or -7/3, etc... , so it is possible to use the div snap as a type of quick custom spaced grid line.

Let me know if you need any more information on any of the above stuff.

- Michael

Woaw ! Terrific new features there !
I did not even had the time to test the previous version and here is a new one ! ;-)

Michael, I will not say that you're doing a great job or that your software rocks, it's too trivial !
What I will say is that if you come to Belgium one day I will be pleased to pay you some beers ! ;-)

Great great stuff, as usual.
You're about to create THE software that will open NURBS to "standard" polygonal users and hobbyists.
If one day the "NURBS way" of creating objects is used by a lot of persons, you can bet you will be the one that will be responsible for the whole thing.
Pilou started a thread here, in France at www.zbrush.fr, at http://forum.zbrush.fr/index.php/topic,1463.0.html
Pilou and Schbeurd present the new functions as soon as you create them. Thanks to them, french users of Zbrush and visitors of the forum can view the wonderful work you realize. I wish to thank them for their great work, their help, and you for this marvelous piece of software.

Alexis

thank you Michael...

those who ever worked with Studiotools can understand why this is one of the most wanted feature...

next one is progressive radius fillets / chamferts....

i hope i'll be able to buy moi3D v1.0 for my school within next summer hollydays...

Hi Michael,

I have two notes concerning the new beta...

Are you going to tune network surface command up so it can also handle non-intersecting curves? And what about some tolerance input for driving a surface? It would help users create a surface from roughly sketched curves.

For projecting I wish I can deselect unwanted projected curve by clicking on it (or in a different way) before command is done. It makes sense when curve is projected on both the closest side and opposite one (e.g. circle and sphere).
