Bézier Mesh Shaper v0.9.0

RNavega · December 12, 2018, 1:31am

Hi,
Bézier Mesh Shaper is a mesh editing tool for Blender 2.80+.
I was after something that was quick to use but still gave you plenty of control over your mesh form. Besides meshes, it can also edit lattice objects.

How it works:

Select two or more vertices.
Activate the tool.
Manipulate the 3D curve and it will reshape your mesh.
Press Enter to confirm or Esc to cancel.

If you have any questions, let me know.

You can get it on Gumroad or Blender Market:

It looks really useful. I’d definitely be interested in using it in 2.8.

masterxeon1001 · December 12, 2018, 2:03am

you put that in 2.8 and add points as an option and i’d youd have a deal.

Great work, tracking.

masterxeon1001 · December 12, 2018, 3:25am

also on gumroad add a + on the amount.

Craig_Jones · December 12, 2018, 3:26am

This looks really useful no doubt

dimitribastos · December 12, 2018, 3:41am

Man, please, 2.8 support. It looks wonderful.

It looks great but if it is possible to edit the grid without “Proportional Editing”?
I mean a situation in which I would like the curve to influence only one edge.

@z01ks, @MACHIN3, @Craig_Jones, @dimitribastos
How cool, thanks for comments guys!

Ok, I modified it to run on 2.8 as well:

Right now its a single script that runs on 2.79 an .80. In the next update it can be split into two scripts so it’s cleaner.

If you already have it you’ll get the updated version from a Gumroad email.

Hi @masterxeon1001, respect bro!
I’m not sure if this is what you meant, from another request I added being able to select connected points:

But this kind of “connected vertex” selection will always give you a curve with 2 control-points. If you want more control-points then you can use that “separate points” method, or maybe there could be a new way to mark where you want the control-points to be.

Hi. You can completely disable it in the Falloff Menu (W). Then only a single line of vertices will move around.

I added my email on that Gumroad page. If anybody has a suggestion, found a bug, refund etc. drop me an email.
I’m gonna work on some other things for this script, brb.

masterxeon1001 · December 13, 2018, 10:42am

i cant wait to get started with this!

xmg277 · December 13, 2018, 11:01am

Can it be used in sculpture? Smooth with curves,Smooth with plane, flatten, pinch, etc.
It would be great if you could implement these functions.

MACHIN3 · December 13, 2018, 1:24pm

It works great thanks!

Craig_Jones · December 13, 2018, 2:03pm

Got it - payday today

Also, maybe add a tweet button on there so we can tweet that we got it so you can get some traffic.

bought instantly to support it for 2.8.

M_lap · December 13, 2018, 2:44pm

Car modeling dream +1 for the 2.8 version too

blndrusr · December 13, 2018, 2:50pm

Is there an option to restrict edits to certain axis? (including custom orientation).

fiendish55 · December 13, 2018, 3:03pm

Great stuff, this is what blender needs.

z01ks · December 13, 2018, 3:32pm

Looks like Suzanne got her eyebrow raised on this one. Got the add-on. good luck with the development !

dimitribastos · December 13, 2018, 7:50pm

This is incredible useful. On 18th you will have +1 unit sold.

Thanks for the 2.8 support.
