Hello! I’m here again! But this time not to ask others to implement this or that feature, but to show something I did. In this video I show you my new script in action. It’s not still an add-on, and has some little bugs, but it works as expected. Hope you like it.

Hai,

Can I do with two sides only(now it is four sides)? I think then it will be a greate fillet tool
Thank you

What you want is already in the bridge tool, in the Loop Tools. You can set the segments of the bridge and the curvature.

13

Here we are! You can download it here (actually I’m trying to create the wiki page)
and watch the instructions video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEaln30pjxA
Actually it has a little bug that I know, but it don’t makes blender crash. Though be carefull untill I’ll say it is fixed. Please contact me here for suggestions or bug reporting, untill the wiki page is not ready.

I invite you to donate at least 1€ to the foundation if you find this script useful.

Bye!

This is a page with some description, but it’s not the official page. http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=30185&group_id=153&atid=467
Can someone tell me where to go to create the add-on wiki page? I cant find it!

If the script returns you a “FLOAT DIVISION BY ZERO”, try to rotate your entire border 45 degrees arond two different axis. And then run the script. Rotate it around the 3D cursor, so that you can rotate it back when the grid is done.

thank you! i’ll try it as soon as possible.

Thank you Lell!

19

Thank you guys!

this is like a nurbs tool -making a surface with edge curves

Yes, it’s similar, but not so advanced as a NURBS tool, so I think such a name is inappropiate.
