trackball rotation plugin

feeds@yuku.com (ania) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:30:30 GMT

UPDATE 10.12.09

ania.xibo.at/tmp/wpc_trackball_rotate.beam

changed:
- RMB now lets the user pick a rotation center, LMB rotates around the selection center as before.
- moved to RMB menu > Rotation
- renamed to Unconstrained (also renamed the internal command name, so if you assigned a shortcut for the old version, you have to change it)
- repeat command (D...) and...

Idea/Request: Layer Manager for Wings

feeds@yuku.com (makr) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:35:48 GMT

This is one idea which I don't think ggaliens would like to work on -- it involves almost all GUI stuff (which he hates ). But I'll post it here anyway.

Wings badly needs a Layer Manager. So we can group objects in layers - which can be turned off, or locked, or whatever.

There's a plugin for Blender (

Turn Towards Plugins (PART II) ...

I have created a plugin that will "DIAL" objects aligned on a path so that they
have additional aligned properties. The idea is to round out and make more
complete ... my turn towards series of plugins.

See the FLASH Video for details.

* ManifoldLab.Com has been Lost to the registering agency *

* ManifoldLab.Com has been Lost to the registering agency *

This was by design. I canceled my 1and 1 account which cost me $100.00 per year for 4 years.
Just to save money there. They did provide good service. I'm just trying something else.
I didn't care about the domain tranfer thing, which I think can sometimes be a hassle.
It may free up again in the fall.

Instead just use wings3d.net

TopMod Challange ...

TopMod Challange ...

Look at TopMod Gallery and find some meshes you'd like to make
with Wings3D ... but maybe can't do it efficiently.

Identify a simple plugin scheme that could perhaps be integrated into
ManifoldLab (or better yet ... Wings3D) to help get the job done.

I went to that Gallery and was getting lots of idea.

Putting Bat Signal Up ... Calling Scorpius ...

It just occurred to me that we are missing an OpenGL shader !

Need a GOLD version of the silver/mirror shader. Would that be
easy to hack up ???? Like a gold mirror ????

SILVER N GOLD ... SILVER N GOLD.

If some source and some advice were available ... I'd probably
have a go at it.

Deform Random Iterative (Update Coming) ...

Deform Random Iterative (Update Coming) ...

It has a regional BIAS in it that was fairly obvious
to end user. Like if applied to a sphere would be
more massivlly deformed at a pole. Or differently deformed.

I will release a version soon that no-longer has the mystery BIAS to it.

The first is a re-mentioning of the need of a plane cut... Think what ways could you choose to achieve an object like the one in the upper image... There are ways, no doubt but... a 'plane cut' would save a lot of time... You cut the object from wherever you want and then you mirror it...'Connect' may do the work but it will take a lot of time... Such a 'plane cut' command could work in two ways, beside... The one for cutting a chunk from the object and the other for...

Redesign Bridge

feeds@yuku.com (Nanakisan) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:58:36 GMT

I've been using bridge a lot in my modeling but the message faces cannot be on the same edge really confuses me. wouldn't it be easier to have it remove the edge while its bridging to allow my a nice clean connection? if this isn't possible right now i'll understand. mostly i figured this would be a real help in keeping your models clean.

Instancing?

feeds@yuku.com (Siber) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:04:43 GMT

I'm building a scene that is composed of many identical parts tiled and connected in various ways. Ideally I would be able to arrange copies of a few original models into larger chunks, and then copies of those chunks into the whole scene. It would then be possible to go back and make changes to the original component models and have the changes be propegated through the whole structure. Are there any plugins existant that would facilitate such an arangment, and if not, how difficult...

I want a Similar that doen't care about size.

Another very simple but very useful feature... :-)

feeds@yuku.com (Dimitri) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:20:08 GMT

For object mode only: Scaling proportionately by keeping the object on the ground... So simple but so important, when wanting to do precise modelling... Imagine that you see the object from a profile view, in orthogonal view, and you want to scale the whole object in a way that its top point will fit a line of the background grid... In other words you want to make it tall in a very precise way... Now, with the present means, when you scale the object, you have to move it again on the ground...

This puppy is just about ready to roll.

I started with turn towards Origin.

A Face mode operation. But it acts on Objects.
Select one face per object ... like put-on.

The selected face remains in same basic position.

Origin, Y-Axis, X-axis, Z-Axis, and Stored Selection (catch-all).

New Select Left/Right Faces Plugin ...

Not 100% new ... but the way it does a directional
grow of a selection is new. Pressing "D" key.
No so sure when I'd use it ... but was thinking about it when

Work space save feature

feeds@yuku.com (Nanakisan) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:32:52 GMT

Let me be the first to admit how nice it would be to have the ability to save your entire workspace in wings this includes the undo steps and current models and work so that in the event of a crash you can resume from the last spot you were at. I know theres that temp save feature but it doesn't save the undo steps and to me i find it annoying i have to start fresh when if i crash i cannot undo a error thats unfix-able because of the temporary save. is this possible.
