The 80/20 on Alias market penetration is this and curvature combs. Rhino has horrible surfacing apart from a few select commands (EdgeSrf, MatchSrf, BlendCrv, nice combs), which when added to its overall interface stickiness are sufficiently appealing that I see friends doing professional Class A with it. I will shill the everloving shit out of Plasticity once surfacing is at parity even with Rhino.

It's very cool tool!

Agreed!

I’m really looking forward to this command, now that explicit cv control is available in the rebuild command / raise degree. Working with single span Bézier surfaces and realigning them when some adjustments need to be done on models coming from another software is critical. This will take plasticity into the automotive / transport design fields. You will see studios adopting plasticity after this update, and I’ll be the first promoting it! Nick you are the man!

With this feature also an isoparameter visualisation option should be added. 1 ISO Curve un U and 1 in V direction. (Or optionally settable number of ISO Curves.) Also a local Gizmo on the Surface showing U,V and N directions will be helpful. A curveture Comb Analysis and Connect Checker function is a must for creating higher quality surfaces. Every option to achieve higher quality surfaces without analysis is not applicable in real modelling situation.

very important!!!!!! and if you would have the option to manually set the degree/isoparms which are used try to achieve the wanted continuity you really could be able to produce class a single span models. This would allow much more control than the rhino match surface tool. if the tool shows in what tolerances the continuity is archived you can decide by yourself how "heavy" surfaces you except and what continuity is enough for your purpose. an good example is the alias align tool with the possibility for explicit control.

This would be for me the absolute game changing tool.

Absolutely phenomenally important! I think it can take Plasticity to the next level it deserves as a surface modeler. As of right now there is no way to avoid secondary surfaces being overly multi spanned and complex.....Cant wait to see the result Nick....Im also working on car like surfaces
