Looking fine. Is there any way to guide the flow?

As of now you can use UV seam, selection set, smoothing group, material ID, angle, normal.

Custom guide is WIP since Reform uses own spline type.

Very cool. Good to hear about more precise selections too.

Now that might sound like an unrelated nitpick but ... the preference menu taking near to a second to load up (5:06) is somewhat worrisome. What's up with that ? It seems like the UI is just not keeping up ...

Most of the preference settings are stored in .ini files. Just a guess, but it's probably because it's reading all those files before displaying the data. I can do some performance tests to be sure, but that's my bet.

Nice! actually caught myself getting excited for a 'Max product update when I spotted it in the Autodesk Desktop app thingy - it's been a while since that happened but I do like the feeling haha!

Hope to make you more excited more often.

Didn't mean to sound like a dick either, I really like what you guys have been doing over the last couple of years. Do continue!
