Dress Design in curvy using lofts

[sculptor]

made with curvy lofts

lofts make very quick clothing and are a bit more like cutting out cloth
curves can be moved, rotated,resized and reshaped
some curvy functions will remove the control curves so save often to different named files


note :- you may come across a little bug in curvy when using "REDRAW AS "
if the line is straight and its endpoints are on the same y co-ordinate it may not respond to the command.
if you use the soft move tool to slightly distort the line it will then respond.

feature request:- it would be nice to be able to copy curves between lofts so to be able to more easily butt two lofts together

big note: you can work with normal curvy lathes instead of lofts if you switch off end caps and switch on double sided
there are lots of ways to use curvy

That is some smart loft usage.

Copying a curve onto the clipboard and then being able to paste it into a different object, or perhaps overwrite an existing curve in a different object would be very handy - and perhaps might open the way to other interesting techniques such as drawing a curve on the surface of an object and then using that curve to make a loft/line that matches the original shape.

Hi Simon
copying and pasting curves between objects would open up all sorts of possibilities including
importing very precise lines from a simple drawing app. Maybe even a little child window workshop ?

Hi,
I am new here from California and I am trying to make an A-line dress and your beginner guide really helped me. I want to know if I want to give more flow to the skirt what should i do? Take large fabric?

Once you have made the loft skirt, you can further shape the model using the normal warp/sculpt tools, this way you can bend and sweep the skirt to make the shape more natural.
