#surfacepsycho — Public Fediverse posts

Did you know that with #SurfacePsycho you can create and use SubD models, convert them to #NURBS right inside #Blender, or export them as STEP and open them in a #CAD program for further tweaking? 😎
And that's not all; you can also jump into edit mode, merge the individual patches into larger chunks, and add a layer of Class A continuity. #Blender3d #b3d #FreeCAD

There are still many issues but much better now.. #CAD #Ship #hull #design #b3d #blender #blender3D #SurfacePsycho #nurbs

Doing reverse engineering with #Blender and #SurfacePsycho is insanely efficient and accurate.
Also, very few programs can even handle STL files from scans that are over 1.5 GB and that’s already the low-res version… the full raw scan is more than 50 GB. #b3d #Blender3d #CAD #ship #hull #boat #design #reverseengineering

SubD are handy for modeling hulls, but trust me, nothing beats #SurfacePsycho when it comes to #CAD #hull modeling. Not even #Rhino3D or any other CAD software comes close to what Surface Psycho can do. #Nurbs #b3d #Blender3D #Blender #boat #design

W.I.P.

After a bunch of attempts to fix mistakes I'd made while making this model with #SurfacePsycho, I finally managed to export a file that opens without any issues in every #CAD program I've tried. The best part is that it doesn't throw any errors when I use #FreeCAD's TechDraw #b3d Anyway, the #IGES file is now flawless, no problems at all! #opensource #design

In the end, I made this model using #SurfacePsycho. Of course, it's not recommended to do everything in #Blender, but I wanted to learn. That said, when it comes to creating #hulls and other complex surfaces, it's the perfect companion for #FreeCAD. #fc3D #b3d #CAD #nurbs

Anyway, don't even peek at the geometry nodes of #SurfacePsycho add-on, it might give you a headache, and you risk not finding your way out! That's how it is for every #NURBS surface, it's packed with nodes and math. It's mind-blowing to think that everything was built using geometry nodes. #b3d #Blender3D #CAD #STEP #IGES

The #SurfacePsycho add-on for #Blender can now import #NURBS files as actual NURBS #surfaces, not meshes. It's the biggest leap forward #b3d has seen in years when it comes to Nurbs, and it's awesome to finally be able to bring in #IGES or #STEP surfaces. It works on Linux, Windows, and macOS too, a huge step for the Blender community! #CAD
