Can't find RpEdits anywhere

I guess it's been ahwile since I've downloaded RpEdits, but I've searched everywhere, and it seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I must have missed something, is it no longer available?

Thanks RC, but RPTools has been available for awhile (the paid version). RpEdits was the FREE version, and it was called something else before that, but still had a limited number of tools that were also included in RPTools. I guess no more free version.

Looks like it was renamed:

Check out the Tutorial section for the familiar looking toolbar:

Damn...and I just paid $75 to buy RPTools just for the component browser tool. Looks like it's free with this (project sketch) package. Oh well, I can't feel too bad for supporting Al. He's one of the better developers out there and really keeps pushing the envelope.

I don't know, but found that in ProjectSketch You can paint directly on the faces regardless component's structure! This is killing feature - it's always been a pain applying texture to a single face inside a component!

Wow, didn't notice the material paintbrush. I've been asking for that for a long time and it's been here all the time. I guess Al was listening! Good find Dedmin!

Yes! And the component and material browsers are cool to - soo much easy to work with!!

Those other plugins look like interesting, but I just wanted the five handy little tools;
move, copy, mirror, rotate, stretch.

I guess I was wrong. I thought the paintbrush would paint continuously on faces while the mouse button was held down, but apparently it requires a mouse click for each face. Al, if you are listening, I would love to have the ability to paint continuous faces with a material until the mouse is released. I can't for the life of me figure out why this hasn't been scripted yet. Hopefully Fredo will add a toggle in his HoverSelect to switch between faces and edges. (been waiting months and keeping my fingers crossed)
