Here is the direct link : Youtube link

CreativeSheep

Now I see the embedded link, it wasn't visible in your previous post.

Did you contact the author to report the crash, he may patch it up ?

Froyok

No idea how to contact him unfortunately, that's why I posted here.

CreativeSheep

You paid for the plugin, yet the author offers no way to reach him ? I plan on buying his plugins soon, this is a little discouraging.

m4dcow

He has his carbonmade site with contact info here

aaa, i love it! The profile editor is great to work with.

One thing bugs me, and I know this is mostly a Maya thing. The Offset Z defaults with a cap of 1, but I need say 30 to start with, so I type it in. But now that's a little big, so I'd like to slide down to 25ish and see how that looks. But the slider starts acting really glitchy once I get there, then the slider re-calibrates itself for a smaller ceiling, and starts jumping around between 2 - 7 -20 with only a little mouse movement.

Yeah that is an annoying thing with sliders in Maya. The thing is, it's hard to set a default cap value, cause everyone uses a different size or unit settings in Maya. As a workaround, what you can do is switch to a different node/tab than switch back and maya will re calibrate the ceiling to your current settings. Or at least tries.

Excellent, thank you kidintwo.

I'll update with my review, and suggestions, if you're open to suggestions ?

Here are two objects created with ShellMod 2.0, the tool is great, the design is perfect, speed is excellent. I have dig a little further into the tool, I may want to use it on non-planer objects etc

Sure would be happy to hear how we could improve it

throttlekitty

Thanks for the suggestion kidintwo3. Something else I noticed, or failed to notice? Is there an easy way to "apply" shellMod to the output object? It could get tiresome to keep jumping into draw settings to make the output model selectable for continuing work.

Check the tutorial if you haven't. I talk about that at the end briefly:

But in short just select your "work" mesh and hit delete and it will "apply" the shellmod.

Cooouul!

I'd like to see Shell Mod work on polygonal selections, it's my only wish !

kidintwo3

ShellMod v2.01 update patch is out.

Download it now (If you you bought it already) on the Gumroad page.

See what's new in this patch. There is even some modeling tips and tricks in the video

CreativeSheep

I have to upgrade !

theironpaw

Awesome update, with shell v2. playing around with it now. Thanks  
Edit1: Holy smokes this is freaking amazing, soon I started extruding. Shiz got real.  This is amazing I am going to show my students. 
  Keep up the fantastic work!

Bal

Doh, I missed the window for getting cheaper update on v2, too busy with work.

New version looks great, nice work!

Froyok

Hey KIDINTWO3, I love this tool ! Do you think a Maya 2013x64 version of the plugin could be doable ?

kidintwo3

Hi Froyok,

Wow, that's a really old release  
I'll have to look into it if there's any difference in the API. But if it works I don`t see any reason why not. Do people still use that ?

Froyok

Yeah it's old, but still gold to me. Especially regarding performances and stability in general on my projects. No idea if a lot of people are still on it, but that's my case. If it's too much work I understand, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

beefaroni

Anyone know what happened to his gumroad account?

Trying to buy the script but I can't find a way to but it or primgen anywhere

beefaroni, look here: https://www.facebook.com/creativecasepage

Hey everyone, there is some technical difficulties with the Gumroad site. Until it's fixed send an e-mail to casecreativevfx@gmail.com if you need any assistance / re-download of previous purchases!

Deadly Nightshade

One of the few things I actually miss in Maya after working in Max. Will definetly try this one out. Nice work!

Gigantoad

So what's going on with this? Gumroad page still down?

Toast

What happened, is this abandonware now? The links don't work. 

m4dcow

I asked about it at the beginning of January on the creative case facebook page, and he said "Its down for some technical reasons at the moment. But should be up eventually. There are some changes on the way. Plugins might become free. I'll update the page accordingly once it settled". He's probably got other shit going on I guess.

xChris

What a bummer, I was just looking for these a couple of weeks ago and saw that it was down as well. Hopefully everything goes well.

Gigantoad

My theory is that Autodesk bought it and we'll see it free in Maya 2017. Probably wrong but hey 

g2mXagent

maybe, kidintwo3's company stop him to sell this plugin, because this plugin is developed during working hours, this is a "company property". not just this plugin, a few plugins developed by kidintow3 are disappeared from the gumroad.

bad english, bad english, i hope you understand what i said.

Goobatastic

Where you at man. I want to buy this? Any news

kidintwo3

Hey Guys. Sorry for the long delay. Just a little bit more patience. The store should be back up from early next month... I'll make sure to give out some free plugins, in favor of the extended wait period. Thanks for your patience!

mediochrea

You're back, huzzah!

MichaelF

m4dcow

jpchen

Hi, I tried to purchase it but it tells me the product is no longer for sale ?  Could you let me know if there is another way to purchase your awesome tool . 

Thanks,
Juan

jpchen

Thank you for getting back to me so soon ! I look forward to buying your future tools ! 

Visum

Gigantoad

So it seems to be back up. Good to see.
Couldn't buy it though, says product not for sale.

Great to see you back! Primgen looks great.

New free plug-in is out: 
Puncher
It's for punching holes with one click. Give it a try

CreativeSheep

No 2015 support I assume it punches only cylindrical shapes ?
