Expert Curve Modeling
For a long time we faced the problem of creating flexible shapes in blender and other 3d modeling programs, many programs give a convenient interface and a beautiful picture, but when the result of curvilinear models is converted into a mesh, we had to do a lot of routine to bring it all into a working form, it was either a triangulated mesh, or a lot of polygons, improper shading and much more.
Expert Curve Modeling is a powerful tool that allows you to create complex and flexible models using Bezier curves. You get the ability to control the mesh both on the whole model and on its individual parts.
Created 4 modes of vertex, curves, segments, models control. Each mode has its own set of functions, we also added pop-up menu hotkeys (we tried to make them intuitively memorable similar to the hotkeys of blender, for faster getting used to the add-on), more details about everything in the documentation.
You will be able to create organic forms (plants and animals), various abstract objects of complex shapes while maintaining the correctness of the topological mesh, conceptual designs and much more. The demo video shows the models made by our add-on and their topology.
This add-on is in alpha testing phase (due to lack of funding had to release the add-on earlier to keep the project alive), with more functionality and improvements the price for the add-on will increase.

Continued documentation will be on youtube or on blender market
Update 2.3.5
-Creating multiple parallel models
-Added new pie menu of ECM tools
Update 2.3.0
-Adaptation to different versions of the blender
-Added curve smoothing functions
1.First option smooths multiple curves that are in series connection
2.Smooths a curve or curves between segments, allows you to smooth the transition between segments at the location of the selected curve
-Also the documentation section has been updated, also added hints to the addon buttons that previously did not have them
Update 2.2.3
Added new Rotate Curve function (allows you to rotate the curve along the axis between the first and last point of the curve by specified angles).
Fixed effect of modifiers on functions when overlaying in model mode
Update 2.1.6
Added Mesh to ECM (Mesh to Vertex, Curve, Segment ECM) conversion function.
