@Mike-Amos This is a great idea. Always love that it's something so simple

@Rich-O-Brien Thank you. Pro-tip!

Is there a way to shrink wrap material around an object using Clothworks?

Or another totally different method?

Trying to emulate paper wrapping around some complex shapes like a skateboard wrapped in gift wrap.

I know I could retexture a model with a giftwrap texture, but looking to achieve something a bit more believable that loses some of the sharpness of the original object.

@Dave-R Ah yeah. That works. Thank you.

@Dave-R Thank you.

I hadn't even considered that as an option as a way to model this geo.

I'm trying to get the same method to work on more complicated geo, but without much luck. Any ideas on something like this?

Anyway to get big bevelled corners without overlapping geometry?

I've got this arch wall, that's exectruded inwards ~400mm using PushPull > Thicken. Wall is ~1300mm high.

Looking to bevel the top corner edges by 300mm rounded bevels or bigger, to have a nice fall off cuve.

I often have issues like this where I run into the limits of overlapping geo which then dictate the size of the bevel.

I've been using Fredo6 RoundCorner plugin tools.

Any solutions?

@fredo6 Amazing. Thank you such a quick fix Fredo!

@fredo6 The material browser has worked in the past. It just now no longer opens when I click the 3x3 grid button.

Here's the output of the Ruby Console.

The material browser has stopped working for me. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ThruPaint a couple of times now.

ThruPaint works as expected, except the Material Browser function never appears when clicking on the button in the UI toolbar.

Any ideas?

Thanks TIG. I'm not aware of any firewall issues but I'll investigate this further and hopefully that resolves the issue.
