Curves To Mesh Add-On

The Curves to Mesh add-on quickly generates surfaces from bezier curves.

A tool I thought would be useful when I very first started to create models: Quickly create and configure mesh surfaces from bezier curves. Ideal for creating machine parts or for more organic modelling.

Choose to create meshes from 1, 2 or 4 curves with a customisable number of cuts in each direction that are evenly distributed by default. Meshes can be created from curves with multiple bezier points.

Features:

• Works on curves with multiple bezier points.
• Useful when you need to create accurate pieces of a mesh, like an aircraft, or for more organic shapes.
• Faces can be set to smooth or have their normals flipped during the creation process.
• Works on a variety of bezier handle types (Vector, Aligned, Free)
• A network of curves could be built up to create more complex objects.
• Can be used as a complement to more traditional modelling techniques.
• By default the edges will be distributed evenly, but this effect can be reduced (see instructions).

Add-on available on Blender Market.
