[Plugin] Sculpt Tools (help)

mitcorb

By the way, if you were not already aware, Sculpt Tools is now at Version 1.0 with a separate thread, here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20781

I am guessing any further discussion should occur in that thread. And sorry that the url is not a link. I will figure out how to do that eventually.

Edit: nevermind, it turned into a link when I viewed my post.

With a bit of playing, your code will be able to produce this faster than I did using SDS.

ehhh sorry SDS???

SDS is SubDivide and Smooth by Dale Martens, also known as Whaat on this forum.

oke chris,
thanks for explaining it to me... feel so dumb. Really want this script for a long time and still need to find someone with a credit card which can buy it for me!!!

Chris Fullmer

Smustard does take paypal if you have an account with them. They are nice, they will hook up directly to your bank account, so you don't need a credit card at all. And you can also recieve payments from other people via paypal.

Yes, Smustard has always honored my hatred of Paypal with google checkout invoices for products I want.

Thanks a lot, a lot for this plugin ! !
Would it be possible to increase the strength and radius using keyboard shortcuts, rather than having to open the settings window?
It’s not very convenient when using it frequently.
Perhaps this feature is already available?
Thanks.

You are reading and asking on a 13 year old thread...
I think this tool is no longer under development.
there might be other newer similar tools around ?

Krass

Thanks,
if somone knows about a better free tool like this.... Anyway its very good and works on SU 2024. iS it open source so that we can modify it?

The tool is actually 17 years since it was written. It stuck at v1.0 and never advanced. The author did add a 'copyright' notice into the start of the main code RB files. There is an email address for him there too. I suspect that he is no longer interested in it. If you were to 'tweak' some files purely for your own use [without publishing them with his permission] I'd think that's probably OK... But please note that the Ruby coding is the files is 'archaic' and might not work on newer SketchUp versions - and it's poorly formed without modules/classes etc and uses the now much frowned upon $ global variables... So use [and edit] with caution...

I got help modifying the .rb code and achieved what I wanted: the ability to adjust brush strength and radius using keyboard shortcuts. A pop-up appears when I click, displaying the current value. However, I do need to adjust the radius "step" size depending on whether I'm working on a large scale—like for terrain—or doing fine detail work, such as on a face.
Combined with the Mesh Tools plugin, I now have a free kit that’s on par with Artisan (or close to it!).

Krass

yes, I think the good way would be to propose him the modified version, if he agrees, let him publish this or let us do it. For now, yes we are two users of this custom Sculpt tools.

sorry for my "froggy" english, I didn't use a translator (french to english)

Hi,
I use SculptTools to adjust the shape of AI-generated medieval characters. The problem is that the UV coordinates are lost as soon as the shape is modified. Preserving these coordinates would be a significant improvement.
