[Plugin][$] Vertex Tools

May I make a suggestion that may provide additional usefulness to the plugin? I have no idea how easy it would be to implement, I don't know darn thing about Ruby. How about different profiles or wave forms used to calculate the shape of the deflection? I notice that the deflection when push/pulled is very smooth, but would it be possible to get different results by selecting a "profie shape", changing the rate and direction (positive or negative displacement) of deflection change across distance selected? Pictures:

Possible? Not worth it?

Quite simply a 'tour de force'. An essential addition to SU.

Yes - that is in fact on my todo list for a future release.

I'm modelling it after how 3D Studio do soft selection. From what I can tell it is a bezier curve controlled by two paramters, Pinch and Bubble.

You should receive an email to your paypal email address with login information. (How long it takes depends on the email system handling the email on the route to you.)

Yea - I had to record that so many times - kept messing up. Cursed be my allergy that makes me sound so nasal.

hmm... maybe it's just delayed. Check your PM - I've sent you your temp password.

But please let me know if you finally receive the email or not.
The other users all seem to have received it, as I can see they have downloaded. Either it's delayed, or it's getting blocked. If it's getting blocked I'd like to investigate it.

ok, thanks! i did recieve the payment varification from them right away. are they supposed to send 2 emails or is the info supposed to be on the first?

thomthom

PayPal will send you one email. But my system will also send you one email with the login details once it has been notified about your transaction.

thom great job. thank you very much for the tools.

thank you very much

AWSOME! i'm lovin it.

feature request: it would be neat if you could have a free mode; don't select any vertex then with the move tool you could sort of sculpt by clicking and dragging on verts (with soft select radius)

thomthom

hmm... a sort of brush... interesting idea...
