hi,
Ever been sculpting or painting in full screen & needed to jump to the toolshelf for simple tasks? Is this interfering with your workflow & concentration?
Introducing Brush Tools
Thanks to Imaginer for allowing me to rewrite the brush modes from his advanced ui addon & consolidate them into 1 hotkey/menu. also thamks to lijenstina for remind me of the nice small brush icons code he wrote.
@Meta-Androcto: This looks like a great timesaver, thank you for making this! Does it display added custom brushes aswell?
I would find out myself, but with the latest build I just downloaded 3 minutes ago, I get this using alt v:
@Craig Jones: Thanks for the tip, you´re right, it´s a Hard Ops popup. When I deactivate HO and restart Blender, it goes away. Also nothing else happens when I press alt v.
@Meta-Androcto: Can you please tell me the Identifier name of the operator? I would like to see if I can assign a custom hotkey to it.
Is/was this available as an addon prior to the release? I am not finding the shortcut in the keymaps under image paint or sculpt as I thought it would show up.
hi, Just tested & np here with overwrite hardops menu.
My addon only works in Sculpt & Brush modes.
Hotkey is object non modal
Enable the addon in the 3D view category (after hard ops if you want to use both menus)
This is designed not to set up your entire sculpt session, but to quickly access the tools for fast changes if needed whilst sculpting.
So possible that the feature is not present in my download from yesterday, but is available from nightly builds after. And, it is an addon that needs to be enabled like the rest and not a feature already turned on. Got it.
Found it! It´s an option in an Addon called “3D View: Dynamic Context Menu”, I can access it via Spacebar and it´s great, because it does display added custom brushes aswell as standard ones! Thank YOU Meta-Androcto!
What would drive me totally nuts in a good way; if there was an option to press a hotkey and only the small preview of the brushes would pop up/ one wouldn´t have to navigate to it first. That would be… banaaanaas!!!
This is what it looks like on my system. Already great stuff, already heavily used, highly appreciated:
Edit: I just noticed, that this also works with 2.78b, so it´s probably not what you´re talking about. Still it has your name on it and is for me an awesome discovery, so thanks again!
I was playing with it for a while, and I must say it speed things up A LOT. It is a great feeling to sculpt without all that mess covering your view. Big THANKS for creating it!
Are you using a nightly build from after the 2.78c official release? I suspect that it will show up in the Testing addons in there - I have only the first release of 2.78c and do not find it on linux.
