How do I create polygons right away, like in Silo/XSI for example ? Can't seem to wrap my mind around retopo and poly tool, even though I read the manual. Can anyone give me a push? Thanks. One more thing, about symmetry. I noticed when I have defined preferred "center seam" I can select components just fine (or at least…
What do you mean by 'moving vert along its own axes'? How do you define axis from one single vertex. A vertex normal is defined by the average normal of the surrounding polygons. It has nothing to do with smoothing groups. Maybe I really don't quite catch what your said.
Just a quick post as I don't have much time: ctrl works with manipulators, but not with for instance extrude. The way I'd like to see it work is this: I select (or highlight) an edge, press a to extrude, and then start holding ctrl. From the moment I start holding ctrl, the newly extruded edge snaps to *whatever value I…
Yes, edge dragging with SHIFT works fine, but I can't draw polygon so it continues to the last one created. It makes first/starting vertex but refuses to define/draw vertex point in space.I can draw one polygon with create polygon tool. but the second no. VW- Silo- Are you familiar with (awesome) Silo surface tool? It's…
Woot! I've never been called twice smarter before. Your belief in me increases my power twofold. Here's another program to check out. http://www.wings3d.com/ It can only do box modelling and lacks a widget but is very fast workflow. Context sensitive right clicking menus. A few interesting tools, flatten works really well,…
passerby, you may be right. But it seems to me his goal is dimension control not about object scale maintaining. See the words 'dimensions' and 'really defined amount'?
When the Extrude tool activated, there should be an Instant Help tool tip drop down. Inside that, can you see this Extrude -Defined Tools- *NMB Tool: Polygon_Extrude_PolygonNormal Drag to extrude... *LMB Tool:... ...
memag: *In VW, symmetry plane is always defined to one of the three mesh's axisplane. You can't change it. *I did the retopo tool long time ago with little sense of workflow. I will improve it a little.
There seems to be a bit of a problem with defining new hotkeys. They often won't work during a session but if you restart they take effect.. I'll have to try and reproduce but it might be worth having a look in the mean time. If I can reproduce it I'll write up a proper bug report. Also, while I'm on the subject.…
2 answere your 2nd question about the manipulator size, you don't need to click right on it. hold down w and use lmb drag or rmb drag anywhere in the canvas it it will move the manipulator without haveing ot click right on it, lmb will move accross a plane and lmb with move across 1 axis defined by the direction the mouse…
