Surface Mastery Part 5 - Is a Loft a Loft? | Exploring Solid, Surface, and Form Lofts | How to pick

In this part of our surface mastery series we are going to again look at a loft but check out a solid loft vs a surface loft vs a forms loft. Are they all the same? What are the rules to picking a loft tool and how do we tell if one is better than the other?

We will take a look at the curvature created when making a form loft vs a solid or surface loft and identify when you must use a surface vs a solid.

You saved me so much. I was fighting an impossible battle with the surface loft. It was killing me!

Form loft didn't even stutter. Beautiful surface first time!!!

This is so important in our tools of development. For too long I stayed in solid modelling only. The fear of not being able to merge designs at the end caused this. After seeing the last series on forms, it has opened a new toolbox in my designs. This video is a brief window into what is possible in other design environments. Keep enlightening us Matt. Great job.

This how to pick was very helpful. Thank you!

Another awesome video! Could you make a video going more into detail about takeoff weight and tangency weight? When I change those values I can see the changes they make to the model, but sometimes I get error messages and I'm not sure exactly what's going on when I adjust those values.

I haven't gotten to this lesson yet because there are many other videos of your friends that I haven't finished yet but thank you very much anyway.🥰

Great tutorial Matt, can you help me, as a practice I try to drawing a bottle of 4.4 LDishwashing liquid SUNLIGHT, using surface and solids design but I could not, was very hard for me.
