Excellent update.

The one thing I would like to have in the Retopo room is the ability to spin edges.
Say you auto Retoped a model but a few edges needs to flow in a different direction, then just spin a few edges and you are done.

The new 3.5 version is the best I had so far! Thank you. But still some complains in surface mode.

Update: using the new material everything works fine, sorry. Great work Andrew.

It's already there.
Pick "Select" tool,be sure to be in edges mode..now in commands you should see "spin" and "spin back" buttons,this is what you are looking for.

Hey thanks,

I wonder why this is hidden, their looks to be more than enough space on the side bar to have it there all the time.

[philnolan3d]

I believe it's hidden because you can't use it with any other tool, so the idea is probably to only show you tools you can currently use.

I want 3DC 4.0 !

[erklaerbar]

very cool release! I like the new features a lot, they really take 3DC a giant leap higher.

[Greg]

So many things I've never noticed! Works great. Thanks for pointing it out!

I use my SpacePilot with 3DC almost everyday, and have had no difficulties with it. May be a driver glitch. Try downloading the latest driver for the device if you haven't already and installing/re-installing it.

I have downloaded latest version 3-11-3_r955 uninstalled previous version and installed the new one. And stiil buttons in SN do not work.

Some versions of 3DC all was ok. From 3 or 4 builds ago they stopped to work.

System specs are in my footer.

What it should be wrong? In other programs they work as needed. 

[Greg]

I have to start my SpacePilot driver as administrator every day for it all to work for me. I'm on a Windows 7 64 bit machine too.

edit: I just put a link to the driver on my desktop, set the properties (compatabilty) as 'run this program as administrator' and click it in the morning when I'm ready to work. It's really not any hassle.

I disable the User Account Control upon first installing Windows 7. I hate that darn thing. It's more trouble to the user than it is for any would-be hackers.

[erklaerbar]

a big hug for the awesome tinker collection! Very well thought out set that is and makes a lot of fun to model with really!

[Polygoon]

Yeah! I concur, fantastic tool set there Tinker, well done. I have had a bit of a go making a space ship myself, using a lot of your stuff for attachments etc. Here's a screen or 2. So far its pretty basic as compared to yours;




If I may ask, how do you go about making them? I can make objects no worries, but I don't know how you put the bounding box's that remove the voxels surrounding the objects, and there's no doubt other things I am missing also. I'd like to have a go at making some that I can share with the community also. Or is there a tutorial already for doing this?

Anyway thanks.

There are positive and negative volumes. You may have several objects in your primitive. If object is called some_name_negative it is treated as negative volume. It will be subtracted from the current volume before merging. Then all rest objects will be merged to scene. Open any of Tinker's objects and you will see how it works.
