Description

Latest version 1.04 has support loop but tradeoff is if you morph to less than 100%, the outside edge remains fixed. If you need your orig geo to morph back to itself, please use ver 1.03

Ver 1.05: added ability to Relax Support Loop to avoid overlapping.

2018: added annoying 2018 version...

Looks like we have an MCG master in the house ;)

Is it possible for this to have cross section splines controlling the inner faces ?

not sure

vusta · 2017-06-13

of your question...you mean internal holes ?

asymptote · 2017-07-06

No, I mean internal spline shapes to control the inner faces and verts.

suggestion

This is a very nice mcg, thanks!

I have a small suggestion. Would it be possible to make it so that it takes vertices from an edge selection (an edge loop for example) instead of the mesh border?
What I'm sort of looking for is the possibility to adjust the edge of for example a road to meet up with a more complex shape of a spline.

There are a couple of scripts that sort of do this like Ant-Stitcher or Marius Silaghi's Smooth-Edge.

not quite yet...

because subobject functionalities with MCGs are still quite clunky at the moment...(hence you see the way I do the inner holes)

I do have a similar idea which is hanging in the smokehouse, that is take the spline shape, create an inner loop (support loop) first, then morph to that...

...still hanging in the smokehouse...

since you're on 2016

pls make sure you have applied SP2 or 3 then you also must have Extension 1 or 2 applied.

If you don't have Extension 1 or 2...there's not much chance to get Spline functionalities working unfortunately.
