Re: Re[2]: Attaching curves

2014-02-18 Thread Stefan Kubicek

All credits on the curve tools go to Eugen, I was only involved with testing 
and bouncing some technical ideas back and forth. Eugen relentlessly fought SDK 
bugs and sought work arounds for SDK limitations, including hammering the devs 
with bug reports and feature requests  on the beta forum (the latter sadly with 
litle success) to make them usable and as robust as the SDK allows.

It's called 'Attach Curves', a topology operator under Modify  Curve. All
selected curves get attached to the first in the selection collection.

Guillaume Laforge did such a thing, too, in C++ (got my inspiration from
it) - 'MergeCurves'.
Part of his 'MergeAndRenderCurves' addon, if you can find it.

Anyone knows? Thanks!

Re[4]: Attaching curves

2014-02-18 Thread Eugen Sares

Thanks!
Backup needed here, though...
I got cautious saying the N word (Nurbs), because then the usual 
associations of them being legacy tech kick in, and everybody turns his 
back quickly.
This is about being able to use CURVES mostly (which happen to be Nurbs, 
too), and which are a fundamental modeling asset. ICE cannot deal with 
them properly.


If anybody else finds it as ridiculous than me that not even a handful 
of BUGS (not tools, features, workflows) get tackled in that regard, so 
we can at least happily write and use our own tools with success, you 
might want to tell the devs.

Like surfaces, too? (I do) - Please also tell Autodesk.

The only outcome of that ridiculous petition I started last year for 
better Nurbs only lead to the lapidary comment of Cory Mogk: we can't 
make everbody happy.


(and, to whom it might concern, please refuse from wise comments about 
Maya having better Nurbs)

Attaching curves

Here's a simple question for something we have not found how to do
in Softimage.
I have two curve objects... a closed square, and a closed circle. I
want to join them into a single object without stitching them
together or changing their shapes. I just want to have an object
that has both curves inside. How can I do this? I've been looking
around, and there are ways to blend/merge/stitch curves together,
but apparently, not to just attach them into a single object.

They do. Nothing has changed in the SDK since then... sadly.

Those curve tools are essential for task where you have to manipulate and
construct with them.
