Sverchok with Curves, Surfaces and Fields
There is a bunch of nodes (Curve, Surface, Field categories, total of 63 nodes) moved into Sverchok master from Sverchok-Extra. These nodes do not require any external dependencies. These nodes work with higher-level (one may even say abstract) objects: not vertices and faces, but curves, surfaces, scalar and vector fields. In some way, this brings Sverchok nearer to Grasshopper (that one works mainly with surfaces and curves, not meshes). So Sverchok can now incorporate both approaches. This enables one to create complex objects with relatively small number of nodes. There is a number of examples with pictures in the original PR thread: #2993 2 .
This leaves about 25 nodes in Sverchok-Extra, which require external dependencies to work (for example, Geomdl library to work with NURBS curves and surfaces, or SciPy library to work with “minimal surfaces”).
This release is a snapshot of how was Sverchok before receiving this nodes.
