Lucy's Shape Forge - v1.1.0

A major update to Bodies mode: panels can now be rounded into a smooth "faceted ball" instead of staying flat, with a fillet option to blend the seams between them — plus several quality-of-life improvements across the whole palette.

  • Rounded exterior — Bodies mode gains a Flat/Rounded Exterior choice. Rounded intersects each panel with the shape's circumsphere, doming it outward while every true vertex stays exactly fixed. Only available on shapes where every vertex is the same distance from center (most of them); falls back to Flat with a warning otherwise.
  • Seam Fillet — smooths the seam between panels. Constant style (a simple edge fillet, works on both Flat and Rounded exteriors) or Asymmetric style (Rounded only, tuned to the shape's own sphere geometry for a closer blend), scaled by a Seam Tightness field.
  • Live value preview — the palette computes and displays the actual fillet radius/offsets for the current settings before you click Create, and proactively flags if Rounded isn't available for the selected shape or if Cut Offset is too large — no more finding out after the fact.
  • Group in Timeline — an optional checkbox that collapses a shape's (often dozens of) timeline entries into a single expandable/collapsible group, for a cleaner timeline when you're iterating through variations.
  • Named bodies — Bodies and Surface Patches output now names each body after its polygon type with an incrementing counter (Hexagon1, Pentagon1, ...) instead of Fusion's generic Body1, Body2.
  • Persistent settings — the palette now remembers your last-used theme, every shape-creation setting, and the palette window's size/position/dock state across Fusion sessions, stored in a local lucys_shape_forge_config.json (not part of the repo).
  • Cut Offset's auto-filled default is now 25% of Edge Length (was 50%).
