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.
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)
