Hi and feature request

Hi!

I like Curvy3d a lot!
I am on version 3 right now, I think I am eligible for 4 but need to find out how to upgrade.

Anyway this is a question or rather feature request @ Simon

I am sure you are aware of a number of papers and demos/programs dealing with sketched based 3D, like
Teddy or RigMesh or ShapeShop.

There is one called FiberMesh and I think they really nailed the workflow on that one. BUT with two major
exceptions: 1) it is buggy as hell 2) no mirroring

I think this stuff must be related to what you are doing but not sure to what degree. So I don't
have any idea how difficult it would be to integrate. But it would be such a fun and fast workflow
and I think there is no software that does this today in a reliable way.
At least I couldn't find any.

Is there any chance you could implement something like this in a later version of Curvy3d?

For everybody's interest:
Here is the FiberMesh-website with pdf, videos and downloadable demo (needs 32-bit Java)

Thank you and blessings!

Upgrading to 4

Thanks for the Medium link, happy to see Curvy gets a mention

Teddy was one of the first sketch based modelling programs I saw, about 17 years ago. I do have a look now and then at what other people are doing with sketch based modelling, there are so many different techniques. I find that after a certain point you are better off moving either into sculpting, or into mesh editing of subdivision surfaces. That is why Curvy is a hybrid sketch modeller + sculpting program (I decided not to make subd surfaces as these are done well in any number of other apps).

I think to be convinced to try some fibremesh style modelling I would need to see it in action making objects that would be slower or trickier to make in Curvy. As it stands it's easy to make a fibremesh looking object in Curvy by joining a few sketched primitives together.
