Seriously, how does anyone learn surface modeling at a professional level?

[Rhino_Bulgaria (Bobi)]

Rhino’s “Surface match” tool lacks one very important setting and that’s the ability to match a surface edge with curvature continuity while preserving the control point flow. This usually means that the curvature matching is tiny bit bellow real G2, something like G1,97 I described it in detail in the following topic:

Wish: "Match surface" to preserve the flow of control points

I wondered if the “Match surface” command could be upgraded to apply G1 or G2 to the general shape of a surface, while preserving the flow of its control points. The current implementation with curvature match (G2) forces the 3rd row of control points to follow the direction of the 2nd row. However, in many situations this will destroy the ideal shape of a surface. For example, Alias could apply curvature match that only adjusts the control points of the matched surface only in the normal direct…

Many surface patches that look easy to build in Alias are nearly impossible to recreate in Rhino with a similar quality, or take too much time, because it still needs some extra functionality be added to become more powerful for surfacing.
