Where's the "Super Like" button?

Yea, it's been taking a long time. It's been a much bigger project than I'd imagined.

I've done, what I think, is most of the core. I've begun to work on the tools to manipulate the meshes now.

"Courage" Thom! this is going to be a wonderful tool, an indispensable one. May be your "Chef d'oeuvre".

I think it's best if I aim for a more basic first release - then do more continuous smaller updates evolving it.

Many thanks Mr. Thomas for the great efforts in providing very useful plugines for SU. I really aspire to have this plugin into geometry application of SU very soon. I know it is a big project that you didn't imagine it would take that much of time, but at least you got an idea now about the remaining percentage of completing this project.

Regards,

thomthom

Should be there any bugs with others plugins？

Can you share example model or screenshot?
Any errors in the Ruby Console?

what the? this thing is cool

a question..
is there a way to control the segmentation yet? like, max angle = 5º (or whatever) and anything steeper will break down to two (or more) segments until the maximum mesh angle has been achieved?

probably.. for me, it seems great to quickly mess around with new shape ideas.. like clay in a way..

[edit]
it's the controller (widget, gumball, whatshername) that makes it so fast.

The song from Ghost is in my head now.

There's a procrastinators beware message... Hand it over!

Glad it's available in the SCF pluginstore.

Seems in 2014 no compatibility with SketchyPhysics 3, Scalp
Patch is drawn with the grid
but now i have just the menu one time on the right Click
then no possibility to edit the patch!

Just this on the Ruby Console

nextFrame()->updateMainWnd()

Box

What an outstandingly wonderful tool.

For any reason after relaunch SU that works!
