    The recent update made this A LOT more useful. Before you needed 4 connecting curves and it took a while to set up. Now you just need two in a collection and you're good to go. I think initial set up time could still be eased. But very good update regardless

      Really happy you are pleased with this update. I will continue to explore ways to make the workflow faster. Thanks for your suggestions via the Contact Creator button as well.

    This plug-in is the future of parametric modeling with blender!
    You just need to be able to more easily manage open and closed splines.
    Awesome !

      Thanks for leaving this great review Createo. Yes - I am always thinking about new ways to make it more parametric.

    I like it but there are a couple of problems.

    1) The preview is transparent and unshaded. This means that the more complex the object, the less useful the preview becomes. The sports car demo is a good example of this. Until you generate the mesh, you don't see that the diagonal bezier curve running across the driver's door window is uneven.

    2) You can only apply this to one collection of curves at a time which is limiting. Kinda makes me wish this was a modifier.

    But in the end, I give this five stars because Blender really needs something like this and the developer seems to be very committed. :-)

      Thanks Benedict for the good review and in response to to your comments

      1) The opengl drivers for Blender only allow for one type of transparency, so this is why I also introduced the Animation Nodes version which can give you an interactive live preview of the mesh.

      2) Blender's programming interface does not currently allow me to create a modifier so this is why I made the live preview to make it as interactive as possible. I could make the add-on work with more than one collection though. I will put this on a plan for a future update!

      Again, thank you for the 5-star review as it keeps me motivated to continue to improve the product.

    Excellent addon. Facilite le boulot. La topologie générée est très propre. Travail avec aperçu "live".

    Excellent tool, very easy to learn (just watch the video and play around with it for an hour or two). I'm using it regularly to model hulls of ships and I'm happy with the results.

      Thanks Pavel, reviews like this really help!

    This plugin is an invaluable help in my car modeling process, it is extremely easy to set up shrinkwrap cages for smooth surfaces across panels.

      Hi - this is still on my list of improvements to be made. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

    Initially, the addon was low in functionality and not very convenient to use (through search). Now it is very solid and functional.

    Безусловно интересный инструмент. Но функционал к сожалению очень ограниченный. И стоимость достаточно высокая. Я купил на маркете другой аддон, который изсеняет уже существующую сетку по кривой и он более гибкий в работе, так как влияет на уже созданную сетку и позволяет её неоднократно менять. В этом же аддоне после построения изменить сетку нельзя и приходится всё перестраивать. Будем ждать развития и расширения функционала.

      Спасибо за ваш тщательный обзор. Я буду работать над функциями, которые вы упомянули, чтобы сделать его максимально полезным. Я хотел бы услышать больше о том, как вы хотите, чтобы инструмент был более полезным. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной через мою страницу создателя, и я также могу оформить купон на скидку за вашу помощь. Не могли бы вы также сообщить мне название аддона, который вы упомянули, чтобы я мог сравнить и сопоставить? Большое спасибо.
