NURBS curve 2

• new standardized NURBS curve 2 with variable knot vector
• backward compatible with previous curve version
• improved precision of operations like division, interpolation, approximation...
• closed curve segments supported

Smart Mesh

• new unified geometry system consist of polygons and NURBS surfaces
• NURBS surfaces - closed or opened along U and V
• flat NURBS surfaces - polygons which edges can be line or curve segments
• supported shared topology between polygons and NURBS surfaces

Smart Edit

• new minimalistic set of edit tools
• complete set of edit operations compressed into few tools
• works with smart mesh and nurbs curves at the same time
• new build-in selection system which works also during edit phase

Primitives

• all curve primitive tools supports curve 2
• all polygonal primitive tools supports polygons and NURBS surfaces
• Point Tool - updated to divide curves and Smart Mesh
• Line Tool - updated to support interpolated curve

Convert

• Curs To Surfs - converts curves 2 to polygons or flat NURBS surfaces
• Surf To Curs - converts Smart Mesh to curves
• Quads To NURBS - converts quad polygons to NURBS surfaces
• Freeze NURBS - converts NURBS surfaces to polygons
