Exelentes videos!

Great explanation of the loft tools. I do look forward to these weekly videos.👍

Hi Evan! Glad to see you're back with another video! Absolutely loved this one but I have two questions. 1.) Will "Part Two" deal with "Skin" and Cross Skin"? 2.) If I wanted to make an automobile fender with styled creases (similar to your Guide Lofting) would Lofting or Sub Division be the better tool(s)? Thanks, Gianni

Hey Gianni, I’m not the best person to answer that question because I’m an architect by training. You should probably ask your question in the forum for access to those experts. SdS are great for visually tweaking geometry but as far as I know NURBS are going to get you exactly the output you want (with probably a lot more setup time to get the guides how you want them). That’s my intuition at least.

@@EvanTroxelThanks! Very helpful. I’m not familiar with any forums for FormZ. Do you have any links? See you in the next one.
