  1. With #SurfacePsycho in #Blender, I use the control cage segments to align surfaces, a neat little trick to get #NURBS patches almost perfectly aligned with other surfaces without any automatic tools. The #surfaces end up seamlessly connected with G1 continuity, which isn't bad at all for something done completely by hand. #CAD #Design

  2. There’s also another add-on for analyzing #surfaces that still needs to be approved. Until a few days ago it was paid, but soon it’ll be free for everyone on Blender’s extensions website. If you want, you can already download and try it out, even though it hasn’t been officially approved yet. #b3d #Blender3d #Blender #CAD #design

  3. 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

  4. Folks, here's another example of that method I shared here recently. The possibilities and control you get with Bézier curves are endless. With this approach, #modeling cars and hard #surfaces using quad topology won't be an issue for anyone in #Blender anymore. #b3d #CAD #b3d Sound track "Forttress" Mario World SNES.

  5. The #German #Reichstag #building in #Berlin is seat of the German #Bundestag since 1999. It was built between 1884 and 1894 by #architect #Paul #Wallot in the Neo-Renaissance style and extensively #remodeled starting in 1995, including the addition of the new #dome. F. Caliò & E. Marchetti (2018) conducted a comparative #study of the building via #parameterization using linear #algebra and the #parametricgeometry of #surfaces.
