looks fantastic! does the Blender functionality have curvature modeling as well? in other words, if I want to do a cylinder, would it have polygons or a large sheet rolled?
Also, I think it would be great to have a solid-filling functionality as well. If a part of model needs extra-support, it would generate a honeycomb-like structure inside the specified solid.
- wvlia5 9y agoI think curvature modeling would be a great extension to the plugin.
- quanto 9y agoi would love to contribute to the Blender plugin for this feature (curvature modeling). Is there a computational geometry reference that could help me get started?
- themodelplumber 9y agoI think there's a plugin for Rhino that does curvature modeling. Not sure about Blender right now but last I checked some time ago, no. Back when I was designing my own paper models, I purchased a little sheet metal design book from the '50s. It was just as effective as software and very fun to have around as a reference. Polygonal models can have a polygonal look that can get in the way of a really graceful appearance[1] on some model types. 1. http://i-am-modelist.com/2011/10/10/mig-21/ http://i-am-modelist.com/2011/10/10/mig-21/
