Soap Skin Bubble

This Ruby Script is similar to From Contour. It creates gridded faces between selected edges. The generated faces can be given a value to add bulge and curvature by adding "pressure" to the face, much like a soap bubble (Fig. 12.22, Fig. 12.23). The script was authored by Josef Leibinger.
