Hi Sacha again...I remember in the old days of Amiga, there was a software named Organica by Impulse which used a sort of SDF / metaball like deformations and booleans like yours. I dont know exactly... but when using SDF Modeler it reminded me these that I tried for years to find somewhere else. I couldnt remember even the name of this old one. But I found it again in the Sofware Archive website ! And what is nice is the fact that it had the ability to extrapolate such forms building suites of primitives in extrapolation scaled and rotated on a curve between and makes profiled shapes on the base of only 2 or more. That looks amazing ! you just had to select the shapes un order and click Extrapolate... and done ! a profiled shape !

For sure i must admit this looks simple to a noob like me, but surely a challenge to code this type of thing, but could this be implemented, in the future ? 

Thanks a lot, as I said earlier, i can not put my hands out of it. 

Have a good day. Dan 

Hi Dan,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your thoughts. It’s great to hear that SDF Modeler reminded you of Organica.

The extrapolate feature you described sounds like it could be a really nice addition for creating more complex shapes. Right now, I’m focused on finalizing version 0.4, which will include a good set of new features and improvements, but I’ve also been considering adding something in the future that could create shapes along a curve, which sounds similar to what you’re describing.

Thanks again for the suggestion and for your interest in the tool.

Best regards
Sascha

Wow, first im glad to know you heard about Organica, which was a very in advance tool over its time, because it had animation features, and triangulations with decimations, faces colors even ! And all this in 1997 ! But sadly disapeared not long after this. I can now discover a PC version, downloaded and used it recently to test these and... it works !

Second, im so happy you are thinking of making those features or abilities inside SDF modeler future ! 

Third, i couldnt think anyone appreciate it as a suggestion, and YOU did !

So, man, greatly appreciate all of this !! good continuation ....
