[Plugin][$] Vertex Tools
-
Just grouping the faces on the far side protects them--or am I missing the point?
But you have to be sure your operation doesn't affect the boundary vertices or you'll have trouble getting the shape back together again.

That is one possibility, yes. But as you mention - you might end up with not being able to merge the vertices again. Simply hiding the stuff you don't want affected solves it without having to modify the mesh.

...I have it on my list to implement a soft-selection that acts upon connected distance that would have solved your problems in this particular case...
I was also wishing for this a few days ago. -
OH, now I see! It somehow retains connection, even when your selection's along the boundary, but still doesn't include the hidden parts in the selection. Ingenious.

SCF Premium members can now buy Vertex Tools for a discounted price of 16$
-
Thanks TT. I already have it. How much for Bezier Surface?
-
Not sure what Bezier Surface will be priced at. But existing Vertex Tools customer will get a discount.
-
Heh, just prodding. Can't be had for any price as yet.
-
Just bought it!!! Great plugin TT! I think my arsenal of tools is pretty beefed up now. Thanks.

Yea. It's taking its time. At the moment I'm rewriting a piece of the core which require some larger changes affecting everything. Once it's complete it should allow me to work on the UI features and tools. -

i have to model a couple terrific of old sofa/chairs and tried to figure out how to do this.. at the end i managed to do this without using neither vray displacement or artisan/blender wathever subdivision modeling.. just the combination of your brilliant mesh from eightmap plugin and of course VT.. faster and more effective than whatever i could dream of..
this is a fast draft anyway, i plan to try a better one, but so far way better and easier than i expected at first.
once again, thank you.. -
just forgot to upload the file..
-
That's looking mighty nice! And mighty heavy. Got a pure wireframe screenshot?
I'm curious to how you worked this. How did you combine the mesh from Mesh from Heighmap into this sofa?
-
in a pure grey hdr + infinte plane it renders quite fast in vray, few minutes with mediun settings at 2000x1666.. i will try it in a fully lihtened and reflective context to see what appens, i think.
feel free to use this model for anything you like. (maibe doing a rendering of your granny house.. duh)edit - the model is slightly more than 4mb and i have never create an account or uploaded something in sketchup wharehouse, so you can download the model from here:

That's a nice sample model for me to use when testing Vertex Tools performance. Lots of vertices. And Soft-Selection rainbow looks pretty.
Mind if I show it off as a user example for Vertex Tools?

mind? what? i would be relly proud man!

Sweet!
If you make more of these I'd love to see some work in progress that display the steps and actions. It'd be really nice to show this on the Vertex Tools site and G+ galleries.

i will surely do it, i don't know exactly, but in the next days i think.. they should be part of an house rebuilt were they want to preserve the granny's sofa and harmachairs
the actual render should be done after christmas as far as iknow, but in the meanwhile i'm studing this monster furniture in the spare time.. you never know.. -
