CoolPicker for 3ds max

Eric Chadwick

I've been playing with this cool plugin for 3ds max called CoolPicker. It replaces the standard sucky color palette with some nice color tools, so I thought it'd be nice to share.

Here are some screenies...







In the MIXER pane, left-click paints with the current color, right-click smears painted colors together, and middle-click eyedrops the colors. Very useful for mixing, a nice digital equivalent to a traditional painter's palette.

Wish I had something like this for Photoshop.

Yea, they have a mixer exactly like that in Paint Shop Pro. It's awsome.

that's a cool picker, i wish there was one like that for photoshop, I really dont like theirs...

I mean, I could (and have) used a separate PSD to mix colors in, using the Smudge tool and eyedropping from it. But I really wish I had the wheel/tri and the wealth of sliders, especially the one above the Cancel button. So much better.

I emailed the CoolPicker author, asked if he's willing to port it... we'll see.

Ive been hassling them to put that in for a while now...
I got an addition for you... a slot to drop in the hex color code so you can copy / paste values from photoshop!

This is fabulous, thx eric!

Dave, fire him an email. I asked him about porting it to PS, and he definitely seemed interested.

I really like the triangle picker, very quick.
