Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
I've uploaded version 2.0.7, fixing a number of bugs and adding one new feature. As usual, get the update using the "Check now" button in the Options dialog, or download it directly. Outliner version 2.0.7 * Fixed "attach node" crash. * Fixed "freeze node" crash after Outliner has been opened more than once. * Fixed "open… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
I have indeed given the selection sets mode some thought in the past. The main issue with this is that the architecture of the treeview of the Outliner is not designed to handle multiple instances of the same node. This is something that will certainly be necessary when showing selection sets of course. Now that I am… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
Nice to you to look into it ! moar options ! :poly136: To me it makes most sense in layer mode. It's the layer color and not necessarily the objects color. It would also be a way to identify in a glimpse the layer mode from the hierarchy mode, when in the middle of several nodes. Yeah i was thinking on how it would have to… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
I've spent some time today implementing this. So you should have this with the next (minor) release. I'm not sure when exactly that will be, I'm considering adding/changing some other things too. I'm making some small changes to the code so you can decide the position of the 'node buttons' per button. So you could set it… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
Yeah it's pretty snappy :) I agree that the icon actions should not be arbitrary. I think the light and layer ones make sense. It's something specific to the node's type, yet not something so obscure that only a few people would ever use it. I made a little screencapture to show some ideas for the node- and iconbuttons:… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
Same goes with the layers. I'm not sure i had this on previous versions though :shifty: When i hit the clear search field button, it expands the nodes aswell. I wonder if it's not related to the way you "save" the outliner expanded nodes so they are remembered when you switch of modes (which you've implemented in this… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
Doesn't look that bad :) I think the main advantage of using wireframe color is, if you set your nodes wireferame color to be "by layer", they will inherit their wireframe color from their parent layer. So eveything is consistent. Objects in a "blue" layer will be displayed with a blue wireframe. note that in the default… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
The recent discussion about the "icon click actions" has given me an idea that I would like to hear your opinions on: Wouldn't it be nice if it was possible to not only switch between "tree modes" (hierarchy, layer, etc), but also between layouts? So you might have a nodebutton for toggling lights which you don't want to… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
You can actually press the 'enter' key to select all nodes found when using the name filter :) Had a quick stab at it, how does this look? :) The top tree is in hierarchy mode, bottom one in selection-set mode. I know, minimalism is the way to go for tools you want to keep open, imo :) Actually version 3.0 of the Outliner… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
oh great ! Thank you Monsieur ! :thumbup: I coudn't remember an example last time as my brain was melting after work :poly142: It's useful to have a flat hierarchy when you want to, let's say, select all objects with their name starting by "plane" So you type plane in the search field. -With the hierarchy mode on, you have…
