Digital Sculptors

Happy to anounce v 1.3.1 of the SuperShrinkwrap Addon for Blender. Blazing fast, stability improvements and bugfixes. Download it for free. #blender3d digital-sculptors.com/cms/index.php/…

@nk The PloySpline looks amazing. Congratulations! Does it support crease full/semi as well? Is it part of the Parasolid functionality?

I talk here a bit about Polysplines, a new kind of spline surface, which is a generalization of the b-spline and (hopefully) a successor technology for Catmull-Clark. youtube.com/watch?v=FFEIhp…

Excited to share a new algorithm I’ve been developing that approximates a Gregory patch with a bi‑quintic Bézier patch while maintaining surprisingly strong continuity, even with just a single refinement level. Watch the results of some test cases with varying complexities.

How to export hard surface models to CAD from Blender using Export IGES addon. youtu.be/Ejhg18x3xZM

@nk @istvan_csanady They are already tightening. Many people in Europe are still out of work. That's why the capability and pricing of plasticity might make a big impact.

@DSculptors @istvan_csanady Yes we should be doing more aggressive sales than what we currently do (ie. none). I am wondering though if auto, industrial design, etc, are about to start tightening their belts because of this economic insanity. We will soon find out !

me when i hear that our beef is weak

@nk @istvan_csanady I think plasticity is relatively unknown to the decision makers in many industries.. especially in the Automotive design domain. You should try to reach out to those people.. maybe you should invite them to a conference/design night.

@istvan_csanady Yeah … I’m trying to figure out if I need to reduce spend or something to weather the storm. I don’t know if there will be any real boost in manufacturing capital outlays - and even so Plasticity will likely not benefit from that

@nk I think when it comes to geometry processing, it hallucinates quite a bit.. writes out code that doesn't work.. till now

Here's my take: LLMs like Claude 3.7 are already near-expert or "superhuman" at SOME coding tasks. Those tasks are maybe 10-20% of economically valuable programming. They are still incredibly incompetent at the other 80% of programming, with no indication (so far) of significant improvement over the last couple generations of models. Anthropic has a great product but they are generating hype so that they can raise more money, that's it.

Please someone tell me where I can bet real money against this outcome!

@Romain_guimbal @pa_furijaz We support semi-crease/ full crease on the vertices and edges, when exporting from Blender. Thanks to #pixar #opensubdiv API

@pa_furijaz How does it compares to digital sculptors addon ?

@nk Chordal fillets and Y junction! Don't think even NX has this.. congratulations

Feature complete for Plasticity v2025.1 ... A couple weeks to bake and we're good to go. A ton of great new features and a revamped ui that is more efficient to use and looks really sexy

Happy to announce a new version of the Export 3DM Addon for Blender with new features. The new version is able to export meshes and subdivision objects in Rhino 8 format Also soft creases are supported youtube.com/shorts/TO6qOma…

Excited to announce a new version of Export IGES addon for Blender. The new version allows the limit surfaces of a subdivision model to either retain the boundaries as smooth or or keep the corners as sharp. youtu.be/uG937ac8fpo

( Also, discovered that Blender names ( collections, objects.. etc) cannot be more that 63 characters long. There is no automatic solution at the moment. Please rename the layer/object names in Alias to be shorter.)

ImportAlias Addon for Blender has been updated! (v 1.7.0) This is a bug fix release that prevents a crash when some geometry fails to tesselate. digital-sculptors.com/cms/index.php/…

Super Shrinkwrap addon has been updated. Now you can control the subdivision levels. Also undo changes. #blender #addon #digitalsculptors digital-sculptors.com/cms/index.php/…

Super shrinkwrap released! This Blender addon fits the limit surface of a mesh with subdivision to a refrence mesh. #blender #digitalsculptors youtu.be/r65buSR4Vp8

@PaoloFurani Since the new version replaces the old version, the new version can be downloaded without paying again. I don't have much experience with 3ds Max.. will take a look

It's been two and a half years since the release of Export IGES addon for Blender, for free. Thank you for all the support. Unfortunately, I am just not able to cover my expenses. I had to make it a paid app ($10).
