Vertex Tools [Artisan]
-
the awesomeness... is just awesome.
-
thats great can't wait. but maybe we could call it sub-d tools so we don't step on thomthom's toes?
... and confuse people in the process.

Well those tools work on vertices not sub-division and Thomthom is one of the Artisan beta testers and he has not mentioned being upset... yet

Eric, I got a screen that said the content for the video is not available. Is there a time limit on videos there? Could you post them to somewhere like Blip.tv?

I was using the free Jing and my bandwidth ran out. And unfortunately I cannot convert them so I have to run new ones, sorry.

Hey, I finally found a decent SWF converter. I updated the original post with a youtube video.
Cheers. -
Amazing Tools! I don't know why modelers keep saying Sketchup isn't for advanced modeling... I found that it does create advanced models easily!

When I first bought Artisan, I thought Dale had included something redundant to what I already had with Thom's plugin. However after using both for a while, I don't think this is the case. Artisan has vertex tools, but in a way that just seem to fit with organic modeling and that ties in well with the other tools in the set. Thom's vertex toolset is something I use for more polygonal modeling and manipulation of hard surface verticies. I will on occasion use Thom's with Artisan, just to take advantage of the stellar polygonal select tool. The other big advantage to Thom's plugin is that it is wrapped inside of a toolset action, so that you can assign contextual keyboard shortcuts for select and move, which are the same as your normal shortcuts. This is a big time saver as you don't have to keep going back to the toolbar, or learn a new set of shortcuts.
I think both however could use an addition of a Target Weld option.
Just my thoughts on the difference in the two toolsets in case someone reading was curious. (not to xrok1 specifically)
