Tgi3D SU Amorph's new Warp/Mould/Remorph (?) Tool

dbalex

How is that possible?!

bravo

What black magic is this?!? Super neat

That's a neat way of doing non-destructive modification to instances - shown in that first video.

Seems the first tool can make some miracles in conjonction with this cool plugin by Sdmitch
Replace randomly components

All these new tools are integrated in the free version?

Thank you all for your kind words.

This is actually just one tool with tons of options for components, and yes it will be integrated into the free version (with some limit). For the option (affine) in the first video we had things like snake/fish scales in mind. The full option uniqufies the instances in the selection but still much faster than fully exploding all the hierarchy. Looks like we fixed most of the issues, still testing...

BTW, any votes/suggestions for the name are welcome, we still cannot decide what to call it "warp", "remorph", "mould" or ?? tool.

cheers

"Reshape"?

(or is that already an tool? I don't have complete overview...)

Deformation tool

This is a great tool
I'll add "Metamorph"

Neat

A question- does inferencing work with it? Can you pull one of the control points and have it snap to, say, an endpoint of a line?

Organic?

gulcanocali

Thanks for the suggestions

As of now, yes inferencing works, you can snap points in and out of hierarchy by using regular SketchUp edit tools to edit the control box. We can display the preview only under Tgi3D tools though. Snapping two endpoints together creates a singularity, we are not explicitly handling that.

a question.
Is possible to modify two bezier curves symmetrically?
or modify two or three Bezier curves simultaneously?
Is possible add inferences?
Is possible add support for the tools?

Hi jorge2011,

No, currently it is not possible to modify two bezier curves simultaneously,

@jorge2011 said:

No, it is not possible modify multiple bezier curves simultaneously either. If you move the common endpoint of multiple bezier curves, they change simultaneously but I don't think that is what you are asking, right?

Inferencing works with regular SketchUp edit tools, that is, you can snap points in and out of hierarchy by using regular SketchUp edit tools to edit the control box. However we can display the preview only under Tgi3D tools.

Yes, good point, we can improve about utilizing the status bar for tool support.

Thanks.

thanks for your response

Ooooh, I need this tool! So fast. Have you considered a symmetry option for the morph box? Perhaps Warpform would be a good name.

EDIT - oops replied before I read page two and Jorges questions about symmetry.
