It looks amazing for hard surface modelling though. Very easy to loft shapes, join them, draw curves, chamfer/bevel, and Boolean cleanly.
It’s all NURBS afaik, but is a little like box modelling.
Full software is $99 for indie or $299 for studio licenses too. No subscription. 👏🏻

:freecad: #FreeCAD's new Zebra Tool actually has 3 modes:
1) #Zebra🦓 ;
2) #Rainbow🌈 ;
3) #Isophotes🌔.
Zebra Tool main purpose is to analyze #NURBS surface smoothness (curvature) and discover rough edges visually comparing representation of stripes mapped onto surface.
📝 Now this tool also could be used for #Mold Analysis to visualize #InjectionMolding Core/Cavity Split: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=694161#p694161
Sample model (see attachment): https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=656355#p656355

📝 Two days ago, during discussion with @pafurijaz (thread: https://fosstodon.org/@app4soft/110717081395359297), I've found interesting resources on Zebra stripe (#Isophotes) shading implementations in OpenGL & sent it to developers of #FreeCAD:freecad: #Curves Workbench.
Today ''Chris_G' presented screens of an upgrade for #Zebra🦓 Tool — actual texture-based shading would be replaced with a 🆕 fragment shader: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=693526#p693526
My #nocode contribution was just to google useful resources.

Really I'm ashamed, because I don't understand how I could have missed this novelty, and to think that I constantly follow this add-on, it's still all very little more than a basic thing but it exports the subdivision surfaces in Nurbs patches, i.e. this component exports the #NURBS of #Blender in #IGES, not the subdivision surfaces and is also present in the Blender development portal. #b3d #blender3d https://github.com/UF-CISE-Surflab/blender-polyhedral-splines

People are obsessed with G3 and there are those who also talk about G4, but in reality G1 and G2 are already excellent solutions for #surfaces #continuity, so it is practically useless to go beyond G2, even for #cars exterior Class A surfaces , the top of the category. Getting a patch with G3 continuity on all sides often results in weird bulged surfaces that are too dense with control points #CAD #nurbs

135 followers · 794 posts · Server mstdn.socialPeople talking about Moi3D vs Plasticity, denigrating one or the other application, without even knowing what they're talking about makes me a little nervous, #Plasticity is one of the best applications I've had the opportunity to try, and #Moi3D is in my heart and it's very good because you have an extraordinary cheap app. #CAD #nurbs

I see some sort of smooth bulges on the right and central vertical blue edges - is it OK for G1?

* https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/understanding-g0-g2-g3-in-relation-to-curvature-combs-continuity/146065/10
Also on top & bottom horizontal blue edges it looks more like something in between G0 and G1: it is not sharp edge, but it looks like pointed bulge.
As for #SolveSpace, it produces #Nurbs with similar pointed bulge on fillets tangent edges.
* UPD: replaced video, because it was broken.

88 followers · 317 posts · Server mstdn.socialWith simple surfaces, the result obtained by converting the #SubD into #nurbs is excellent, without a flaw, here I tried to make a comparison with the CADs, creating the same hull from the lines extracted from the #Blender model with #Moi3D.
Using Blender saves you from hours of effort. #FreeCAD #Plasticity
