Ahh....a Constraint feature. Very cool idea. There is something similar in Modo.

thomthom · 3 Oct 2010, 16:29

Yea - geometric constraints.

All is well with your great tool.
Attached is the current status of my major terraforming project (~95% complete).
I could not have done it without Vertex Tools as the major player.
All the areas around the buildings had to be modified, especially those in the upper part

Thanks for posting back examples of what the tool is being used for.

hey. how are things going with this one? any news/progress?

thomthom · 31 Oct 2010, 00:29

Working on some other projects at the moment - but they have elements which I pull into VE. In fact, they are somewhat like prototype trials for VE.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2010, 00:29

When I say VE I mean Vertex Tools - I keep thinking "Vertex Edit" which was the working title...

Can't wait!

By the way (back on the Vertex Tools thread), how's Version 1.1 coming along?

Several things:

I've finished adding more buildings and upgraded some of those that are already in.
Used Vertex Tools to clean up more of the Google Earth mesh mismatches.
I've purchased Instant Road from valiArchitects.com and plan to make the roads in the GE mesh into "real" roads.
Although Thea is my primary render program it's still a beta so they won't get to adding EcoSystem capability until long after I need it: so I've purchase Vue 8 Complete so I can export the whole thing with the new SU2Vue plugin and use the EcoSystem to add "real" bushes and trees. This is going to take a while since I've never used Vue before.

I've had a month of two of less productivity - in general in regard to plugins. Been a wee bit pre-occupied with buying appartment etc and other boring real life things.

But I have been working on the new Gizmo system - manipulators which I think will make it quicker and easier to handle the selection.
I hope to preview it in a video soon. ( Not a Vertex Tools video - but a new toy... )

Once I got that system polished I plan to add it to VT 1.1 along with some other improvements.

You've been so prolifically busy lately: have you had a chance to work on this?

thomthom · 26 Jan 2011, 18:55

I got a batch with updates for my other plugins lined up that will be released soon. Then focus will turn towards Vertex Tools. (the work on the other plugins benefits Vertex Tools, but indirectly.)
