CreateLoftModifier
Creates a loft modifier in the mesh construction history. Use the CreateLoft command if you wish to create an entire loft node collection.
Using This Command
Select a mesh and invoke the command.
- Select a mesh.
- Select Modify » Mesh » LoftModifier from the main menu.
- The software adds a LoftModifier to the mesh construction history.
- Draw cross-section curves as needed.
- Perform U/V mapping as needed.
Figures
A LoftModifier produces geometry by using cross-section curves to define knots for the output geometry.
Figure 1.1. Loft cross-section curves.
Figure 1.2. Lofted geometry.
Figure 1.3. With additional cross-section curves.
Figure 1.4. With additional segments and curve transformation to
implement a shallow lakebed.
Figure 1.5. An InsetModifier produces a clean shoreline and
TurnEdgeModifiers help clean up the geometry.
Figure 1.6. Since this is a loft, you can move the cross-section
curves and the mesh construction history automatically revises the geometry. The lake shape
is quite different but the shoreline is still perfect.
