New Modeling tools (2024)
We've added two new NURBS surface modeling tools: Accelerated Surface and Feature Modifier.

- In Alias 2024 we have reworked the complete user interface and added more features.
- We are, for example, introducing a brand new tool, we call the Feature Modifier.
- This can transfer a feature from a flat surface onto another surface like this logo, which we call the feature which I place onto a curved surface while keeping all connections and continuities.
- In the past, if you wanted to model a feature like this onto a curved surface, it would have taken a very long time.
- Now, however, with the Feature Modifier, you can align it to a new surface in one go.
- Here are some other examples of the Feature Modifier.
- Like on this back wing where I can distribute the feature along the wing.
- Or grill patterning where you can transfer the planar squares of a grill design onto the curved surface.
- And the best is if you have for example, a detail of the grill like this, you can easily copy them onto the other surfaces.
- Finally, we added a new tool that you might use for class a modeling.
- It's called Accelerated Surface.
- This new Accelerated Surface gives you control over the curvature at the end of the surface.
- With this, I can create a defined lead-in surface which will produce a much smoother look.
- Here, you can clearly see the difference.
- And also in the Dynamo Toolbox, you will find more scripts.
- Like the Loft tool, which creates a subdivision loft between multiple guide and rail curves.
- Or, the Unbevel tool, which is very helpful for reducing the complexity of your sub D model.
- And the Multi-surface patterning tool will help you to arrange a patterning across multiple surfaces.
- Or the new Seat script, which creates a seat in one click.
- You can also control the seat shape using additional guide curves.
- This will give you a great start for creating a new seat design.
