[Plugin] Sculpt Tools (help)

BTM

I'm not sure if these changes are the only ones ( that's what I call "playing around" ) But I remember I put also the # in front of some header lines.

Yeah, but =start and =end do the same things, so you didn't need those. I haven't posted the file with proper icons yet, but it's coming. I'm trying to get the script working with the multi-windows that macs can have; right now when I try it crashes. Apparently it's because active_model doesn't seem to be good enough for it, and the SU API FAQ mentions how to get it to work, so I'm going to give it a go…

Also, on a side note, is there anyone who wants to make a webdialog that can be opened and closed on the click of the dialog tool, instead of the current inputbox? I think that could make it easier to change settings while using a tool, but I can't make webdialogs. I don't know how .

hehe, yeah I also fixed my copy so the toolbars had icons. They stilla re in double, but at least they are there

A most interseting tool... marred by these toolbar problems...

The problem is there are no 'small_icons' AND the icons' paths are missing a ./... for example

###...
>   $btm_sculpt_menu.add_item mgp
>   mgp.large_icon = "./btm_sculpt3_push1.png"
>   mgp.small_icon = "./btm_sculpt3_push1.png"
> ###...

I adjusted each of the rubies and NOW it works fine for me
Until some different sized [better?] icons gets made...

Then why did it still work for me?

because mac is

small icons here

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?

I have a question, does anyone have a good tip on how to make a triangulated sphere instead of one made from quads? I wanted one with triangulated faces so I could use the sandbox "add detail" tool.

for 'triangulate.rb' ...

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

TIG

Thanks, got the small/large icons and tweaked the scripts... now works fine...

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…

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.

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.

TIG

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.
