  I don't use Blender a lot. But occasionally I'm using this tool. The demo video is realy helpful especially for people like me who forget how things work.

  A brilliant addon that makes Blender much more CAD like. Coming from 40 years in the Mould and Pattern industry and working with Solidworks, Verametric's and Point Control I am now 3D printing products and Curves to Mesh is more than exactly what I needed. Being new to Blender Mark's personal support of his addon went FAR beyond excellent! This is a MUST have addon for serious modeling! Bravo!!

  To understand why this add-on is really great for me, let me explain a little. Back in Jan 2019 I had a major stroke. I lost all my freelance clients and can no longer work. I have neuropathy in my hands so I look for add-ons that will drastically cut back on my hand/mouse use. I currently can only use a drawing tablet. So, now I only do Blender as a hobby. Anyways (to shorten the story).

  Converting Curves to Mesh in vanilla Blender is a lot more mouse work. It can be be done fairly easily without this add-on, However, getting this Add-on is a major plus for me. Plus, it has some features you don't get in vanilla Blender editing curves.

  1) Preview of your CtoM mesh before apply changes. It is a live preview.

  2) You can control the resolution (poly/quads) of the mesh.

  3) It creates the mesh, but leaves the Curves in tack so you can go back and make changes. Even though it doesn't do live editing of your created mesh, you can just delete the created mesh and redo the process. Its is real quick.

  Conclusion:
  Even though you still have to model your curves the normal way, the rest of the process of creating a mesh is 3 times faster then doing it all by hand. Which is why this add-on is great for me. Less hand/mouse work, the less pain I feel.

  I am going to really depend on this add-on. Even though I can do modelling using the cube and mirror mod, it is more mouse work. So, this add-on is more my style. It is a time saver for me!!!

  Very useful tool. Thank you for making it.
  I need help on
  1. How to create several connected patches.
  2. How to grab several control sticks. Like on a corner of a car.

  This is an excellent product and it comes with equally excellent support. The learning curve isn't too steep and the time saving and product enhancements that this add on delivers are absolutely top notch. Hopefully Mark will find a bit of time in his busy schedule to put together a couple of tutorials to help those of us in the noobie department to get to work with the addon even quicker.

  Hi Russell, thanks for leaving this great review. As we've discussed, a tutorial is definitely something I want to do soon!

  First off, this add-on is very useful and just what I was looking for to model different types of shapes that might be too difficult with other modeling techniques. I also want to say that Mark's customer service is top notch. I emailed him a question about how to approach a specific modeling task and he promptly sent me a number of blend files as he attacked the problem. He was really interested in finding the best solution and helping me. In the end, he even recorded his process and shared it online. So not only a great tool, but a really nice guy and great customer service. Thanks again, Mark!

  Hi David, reviews like this are really helpful, thank you. I have always been drawn to finding ways of modelling tricky shapes and objects which is why I made the addon in the first place. Glad you are happy with what it can do for you and thanks for the comment about my customer service! Let me know if I can be of any further help. All the best, Mark :)

  The recent update made this A LOT more useful. Before you needed 4 connecting curves and it took a while to set up. Now you just need two in a collection and you're good to go. I think initial set up time could still be eased. But very good update regardless

  Really happy you are pleased with this update. I will continue to explore ways to make the workflow faster. Thanks for your suggestions via the Contact Creator button as well.

  This plug-in is the future of parametric modeling with blender!
  You just need to be able to more easily manage open and closed splines.
  Awesome !

  Thanks for leaving this great review Createo. Yes - I am always thinking about new ways to make it more parametric.

  I like it but there are a couple of problems.

  1) The preview is transparent and unshaded. This means that the more complex the object, the less useful the preview becomes. The sports car demo is a good example of this. Until you generate the mesh, you don't see that the diagonal bezier curve running across the driver's door window is uneven.

  2) You can only apply this to one collection of curves at a time which is limiting. Kinda makes me wish this was a modifier.

  But in the end, I give this five stars because Blender really needs something like this and the developer seems to be very committed. :-)

  Thanks Benedict for the good review and in response to to your comments

  1) The opengl drivers for Blender only allow for one type of transparency, so this is why I also introduced the Animation Nodes version which can give you an interactive live preview of the mesh.

  2) Blender's programming interface does not currently allow me to create a modifier so this is why I made the live preview to make it as interactive as possible. I could make the add-on work with more than one collection though. I will put this on a plan for a future update!

  Again, thank you for the 5-star review as it keeps me motivated to continue to improve the product.
