because mac is

small icons here

I already made my own small icons, but whatever. Good for the others untill the next one's up.

Just a simple question, but is anyone willing to make better icons? I don't really like the ones it has right now, but don't know what the new ones should look like…

Awesome, thanks TIG!

BTM, I just PM'ed you a copy of the plugin with working icons on the PC, and a pc friendly zip, if you want to update the version here.

Maybe put the current copy back in the first post? Or maybe it just needs a whole new topic now that its a [Plugin] ? Or maybe you want to wait til the final toolbar oddities get worked out?

Chris

Why does everyone post things when I'm writing my posts/ editing the script myself!

I'll check my PMs, and yes, I'm planning on making a [Plugin] thread when all the oddities work out. I'll keep the download where it is for now, so that mostly the people downloading it are those who are testing it.

Could actually someone post the one which works...of course with BTMs agreement. At moment this is crazy,

Tell me about it

[BTM]

The download's been replaced with the one with good icons that Chris edited. My next fix of the mac issue should be up shortly.

[sepo]

BTM ...could you actually post the link for PC or at least say on which page it is. There are couple of download versions. Thanks

The download all link to the one on page 5.

Can I suggest a new "[Plugin] Sculpt" thread that has the updated stuff as its first post - it's getting confusing...

I've updated: triangulate.rb v1.1 to trap for 3 vertices in line and made a one-step undo http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=169956#p169956

Here's something to play with.
This is the template I used to make the face a while ago.

Thank you BTM!

a few ideas/requests:

• Is it possible to make a circle (or the shape of the brush) around the cursor? Something like the smoove tool or the circle tool? Something like this:
  
  Will make it more "precise"

• Be able to change the radius of the brush in the vcb or measurements toolbar (this is possible to make for example with the smoove or circle tool so you don´t have to open the dialog every time you want to change desired size of the radius of the brush):
  
  It will be faster to sculpt

Also I attach alternate icons. I take them from a mudbox tutorial... I only change the colors.

First of all, I DO plan on adding visuals eventually, which include a soft radius circle, hard radius circle, and a direction line for the bulge tool. As for the radius in the VCB, I could do it, but I'd need to know who wants what setting to appear there (probably soft radius). For icons, those do give me some ideas.

Not yet, I'm hoping to get the plugin past all the problems first; I couldn't test it on windows myself though, so I guess you guys are the testers.

Hi BTM - just to say this ruby is a jewel!!! Thank You in advance for all those easy sculps i shall be drawing!

[BTM]

… I've been messing around with view.draw lately, and have to say that its confusing. View only updates when the view changes, and in order to get it to update on mouse move, requires a lot of confusing things that I don't understand yet. I'll figure it out sooner or later…

[Jim]

calling view.invalidate forces a refresh. Hope that helps.

[Chris Fullmer]

When you figure it out, let me know

I've also had difficulty with it. I eventually get it to work, but I never feel confident I've implemented how it is supposed to be implemented.

That much I do know, but my problem is where to put it, and when to do it.

Nice concatenation there, Majid.

( 03/07/09) Working icons on windows. easy install.

… These are the only files necessary, and where they should go:

btm_Sculpt_Tools_Loader.rb > plugins folder
btm_Sculpt_Tools folder > plugins folder

btm_sculpt1_dialog1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_sculpt2_bulge1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_sculpt3_push1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_sculpt4_smooth1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_Sculpt1_Dialog.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_Sculpt2_Bulge.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_Sculpt3_Push.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
btm_Sculpt4_smooth.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder

… Post here if you are having problems.

NOTES: for Bulge and Push, Shift will reverse the tools, so Bulge will carve, and Push will Pull. Bulge bulges the mesh, push pushes things away from the cursor, and smooth smoothes out the mesh.
