Yep, I saw that. Very cool, isn't it? Though I can't figure out how to get it working with Blender? Could someone tell me how?

[GoldenFrog]

Rendering a smoke sim as I speak, so I'll post some screenies from it asap. I'm using a cloud texture to give an illusion of extremely high-res smoke. Maybe it'll work.

G'day!

Blender 2.58
1000 corrections and new functions!

[GoldenFrog]

Epic!!

Getting close to 2.59, eh?

[Goonster]

Downloaded Blender 2.58 about a week ago. I think the new UI has made such a difference. I tried the previous version several times but just could not get on with it but this new one is so much easier to use. Well, easier in that it has a more user friendly interface but the learning curve is still pretty steep though. At least I managed to create an image with this one - which is more than I managed before.Very basic but a start.

OMG ! This is Sandbox under Blender !!! I dreamed about it some many times !!!

EDIT : This is much much more than the SandBox Tool !!! Exactly what Blender was missing for me !!

I'll pay for this with pleasure. A great retopology tool BTW.

That's very generous of you Mick. Let's just hope the othe 80,000 members here don't read your offer or you'll be looking for a bail-out from the EU

[michaliszissiou]

Not generous Rick, I really need this tool. In general, I bought any app is involved in retopology.

But I read this:

Bsurfaces looks promising..

Anyway, as well as a Blender discussion thread, it is also a gallery for blender art!

So, here's a screenshot of a model I've made recently.

It's a dropship. There was a version with propellors instead of engines, so tell me if you'd to see it!
