Let’s have a look at the latest version of MESHmachine.
Let’s have a look at the latest version of MESHmachine. In case you’ve missed the whole thing, it is a Blender mesh modeling addon with a focus on hard-surface work without subdivision surfaces.
MESHmachine’s chamfer and fillet toolset are said to allow for more flexibility when “dealing with fillet-like surfaces, traditionally created with the Bevel and Bridge tools.”
You’ll get the Fuse tool, which builds transitional surfaces from chamfers, fusing the surfaces on both sides.
