The flow of this video is beautiful. Starting off talking about the inportance of not relying on addons to think, explaining the origin info for curve modifier, then back to reminding us to use that knowledge. Its so simple, but i needed to hear that. I didnt know i was doing that so much until i heard it

[@blanchsb]

Thanks Rudy. Another easy way to make a curve is to simply steal an edge path from existing geometry and separate the edge and then convert to curve. I've done this a lot of times with my fluent curved grids. You can also set the grid array length to fit the curve as well.

"Technical Focus": great new series of tuts!

[@ivankrecker9210]

Cool trick with curve drawing! Thanks!

[@rileyb3d]

You’ve made a useful tool, and you’re here presenting it in an excellent way! Well done and thank you!

[@CGThoughts]

Thank you for the comment :)

[@CGThoughts]

Thank you Seb :)

[@КириллМаренков-с7к]

Thanks!

[@3DShihab]

awesome trick, keep it up

[@CGThoughts]

Thank you :)

[@StuSutcliffe60]

@CG Thoughts: could you explain how to make a curved grid in 2 axis, in ex a curved circle grid over a sphere with round hole?

[@CGThoughts]

About the sphere, I advise to use a cast modifier set it to sphere and pick an object at the center of the imaginary sphere.

[@pixel-ink]

Thanks

[@loremipsum3147]

Instead of creating and projecting a bezier, could we use an already existing edge. Like duplicating and separating an edge on the curvy part of the mesh and converting that to a curve? Thx for the video btw

[@CGThoughts]

Yes it's another solution. In this case you have to copy the object, apply all modifiers then extract the edges then remove the copy then convert the edge into a curve.

[@loremipsum3147]

@@CGThoughts ha I see yes that would be too many steps

[@decintimattia]

Thanks for the tutorial, all very clear. I have only one question, I bought fluent a couple of weeks ago, I find it really easy and fun to use, but the problem I encountered concerns the interface of the add-ons, unfortunately it is not like the one in video, how can I fix it ? is there any update? (ps. I have blender 3.0.0)

[@CGThoughts]

Hello, please use the Discord to find help. Impossible to help you efficiently with a comment on KZbin. :) I use Fluent 2.0.3 and Blender 3.1

[@decintimattia]

@@CGThoughts Thank u

[@sammieveeler3369]

no idea why i couldnt get this to work

[@jean-marcperrier2102]

Moi j'utilise plutôt une texture type grille, avec transparence et ensuite appliquée à une simple surface. Le rendu est plus rapide, car il y a beaucoup moins de polygones a traiter pour le calcul. Par contre pour les simulations avec choc, découpe ou autres déformations, j'ai pas encore trouvé.

[@CGThoughts]

En effet Jean-Marc, si l'on veut limiter le nombre de polygones c'est le mieux.

[@damnfail9316]

come here for the tutorial, i stayed because of the accent.. :) cool plugin.

[@oscarclips4883]

stp ........tu peux me donnez l'adons j'ai pas d'argent et j"ai envie de utilise cet adons stp

[@petneb]

So you are telling me that I bought a tool that can't do everything? 😂

[@CGThoughts]

Everything no but we can go far ! :)

[@yvesjannic6695]

Bonsoir et pkoi pas en français ?

[@dannielercoy471]

Peut-être parce qu'il a honte de sa langue ou alors qu'il pense que l'anglais doit s'imposer à tous ?

[@CGThoughts]

Bonsoir Yves il est vrai que je fais habituellement toutes mes vidéos dans les deux langues. J'ai ouvert une chaine dédié au français :) La vidéo est disponible ce jeudi à 07h du matin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npLTk5J6e9-em7M
