General Discussion / From Moi to Nvil and back how to stay accurate

« Last post by Noobnvil on December 30, 2025, 05:38:02 am »

Hello
I have a project going on in Moi3d.
I want to bring some object into Nvil to make a "shell" around the object and send back to Moi3d.
What is the best format to do this and to import it and back and stay accurate?

Thank you!

General Discussion / Re: Multipipe as Rhino

I would start with a several low polygon spheres and extrude faces then scale the extruded faces smaller on the ends to create the pointed spikey parts.
Use the bridge tool to join the spheres.
Finish with 2 levels of subd

I assume the user did it this way in Rhino as it supports mesh modelling and nurbs sub'd.

You can also view istonia's Voronoi tutorials which might also do what you want

General Discussion / Multipipe as Rhino

« Last post by Noobnvil on December 29, 2025, 04:16:11 pm »

Hello.
What is the best way to do multipipe like Rhino?
Voronoi is an option ...but let say I have certain lines and want to joint them to look like Rhino one?

You can but you don't need to. You can just load it from where it is.

And no matter what hard edge threshold is - it always make a Cap with soft edges

However, it is quite random. I set up hard edge threshold in prefs =180, but on this surfaces some places are hard and some soft. I wasn`t tweaking anything by hand here to get various results

Ah, ok, seems like it is reversed in Nvil, not quite intuitive, but ok.

Will fix that.

What does the autosmooth angle stand for in other programs?
