After a bunch of attempts to fix mistakes I'd made while making this model with #SurfacePsycho, I finally managed to export a file that opens without any issues in every #CAD program I've tried. The best part is that it doesn't throw any errors when I use #FreeCAD's TechDraw #b3d Anyway, the #IGES file is now flawless, no problems at all! #opensource #design

Anyway, don't even peek at the geometry nodes of #SurfacePsycho add-on, it might give you a headache, and you risk not finding your way out! That's how it is for every #NURBS surface, it's packed with nodes and math. It's mind-blowing to think that everything was built using geometry nodes. #b3d #Blender3D #CAD #STEP #IGES

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

#Pflegebedürftigkeit durch #Prävention VERHINDERN - das hatte ich so noch gar nicht auf dem Schirm.
Da gibt es sogar schon Untersuchungen zu:
»Prävention von Pflegebedürftigkeit« vom renommierten #IGES, im Auftrag des @BMG_Bund.
https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/fileadmin/Dateien/5_Publikationen/Pflege/Berichte/2025-05-05_-_Fachgespraeche_Praevention_Abschlussbericht_bf.pdf

Darin wird eins mit der Nase auf die #Eigenverantwortung gestoßen, gefälligst selbst gegen Pflegebedürftigkeit vorzusorgen (§ 6 SGB XI).

Dass Leute pflegebedürftig werden, weil sie sich schlicht kaputtgearbeitet haben, findet weder im Gesetz noch im o. a. IGES-Gutachten seinen Niederschlag.

Ich sehe das schon kommen, dass pflegebedürftig Werdende mit dem »Selbst-schuld-Argument« von Versicherungsleistungen ausgeschlossen werden. Statt dass mal für anständige Arbeitsbedingungen gesorgt wird.

Here's an old guide I rewrote for a user who asked me how to convert #3D mesh files made with subdivision surfaces into #IGES format. It's a method that relies on free apps. That way, you can bring those mesh files with subdivision surfaces right into your #CAD software. #b3d #opensource #FOSS

I’ve added the option to use a custom mesh and apply a displacement effect to it. In this case, I created a very simple bag and applied a texture using an image. Now, the geometry nodes in #Blender 5.0 offer greater flexibility, allowing me to work with image textures more effectively. #b3d #Blender3d #CAD #IGES

Between last night and today, I created a geometric node for #Blender, which is now complete and lets you generate #procedural geometries. The node was designed to meet the needs of #CAD programs, and in this latest version, you can also use an image to create specific geometries that can be exported to #IGES format using subdivision surfaces. #b3d #Blender3D

Hey, I’ve been running some tests and found that #IGES export only works if you convert to PsychoPatch. So, I’ll need to install that add-on. For now, this solution seems like a decent compromise, and I reckon a lot of folks in the #automotive industry might find it interesting, at least until Francesco Siddi, the new CEO, decides it’s time to give some love to this part of #Blender that’s been neglected for 20 years. #b3d #CAD #NURBS

Hey everyone, a guy is working on an add-on that converts SubD into NURBS surfaces in #Blender, and I’d say it’s off to a great start! Plus, he’s also developing a way to export these #NURBS as multiple #IGES patches. #b3d #CAD
