1. Potion Bottle

Make your first steps with the Loft Tools add-on.

1. Create Base Curve

1. Add a Bezier circle

2. Convert it to Curves using the Convert To operator (object.convert)

2. Create Loft Surface

Execute the Loft Curves operator. This will add loft geometry modifier and required attributes.

3. Shape the Bottle

1. Duplicate curves using curves.duplicate to form the bottle’s base shape

2. The lofted surface will have the default detalization. Adjust resampling Length.

   • The base curves that control cross-sections of the shape are U Curves.

   • The curves that connect the cross-sections and form the final mesh are V Curves.

4. Adjust Handles

Select the middle curve and set V Handle Type to Auto.

In Point Selection Mode:

• Edit U Curves using Blender’s built-in handles as usual

• Shape V Curves using the add-on’s handle gizmos - the handles appear for the first selected point on V Curves

The gizmo handles mimic the behaviour of the built-in handles, so by dragging an Auto handle, it will automatically change its type to Align.

5. Cap the Bottle

1. Add the Fill Loft Caps modifier after the main Loft modifier

2. Check Flip First or Flip Last to have the correct orientation of the normals in the resulting mesh.
