Blender #SurfacePsycho uses Bezier like #ICEMsurf :) #b3d #Blender #nurbs #CAD

#SurfacePsycho for #Blender is straight-up amazing. Everything’s done with geometry nodes and you can just drop those nodes right into your own work.. next-level stuff here. #b3d #nurbs #CAD #procedural.
Here I used the SP Fit Curve to convert a bezier into CVs of a Nurbs Curve.

There are still many issues but much better now.. #CAD #Ship #hull #design #b3d #blender #blender3D #SurfacePsycho #nurbs

Imagine if this model in #Blender was actually a native #NURBS surface that you could export as STEP or IGES and imagine being able to build proper #CAD models right inside #b3d using all its tools.
Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it’s 100% real just download #SurfacePsycho.

SubD are handy for modeling hulls, but trust me, nothing beats #SurfacePsycho when it comes to #CAD #hull modeling. Not even #Rhino3D or any other CAD software comes close to what Surface Psycho can do. #Nurbs #b3d #Blender3D #Blender #boat #design

I don’t have much time these days, but I’ve started this model as a starting point so I can begin using #SurfacePsycho.
Every now and then, when I get a bit of free time, I add a few surfaces here and there. #b3d #Blender #Blende3D #CAD #nurbs

I tried using #SurfacePsycho's Fit Patch on a #CAD mesh model, overall the result isn't bad, but unfortunately the surfaces it generates have these cuts/gaps that you then have to fix manually.
Otherwise, when you try to export to IGES or STEP, it just throws an error. #b3d #Blender3d #Nurbs

It’s seriously cool to have #NURBS working this well in #Blender. #SurfacePsycho is still alpha, fingers crossed the Blender team steps in to help out. #b3d #CAD
