How do I install in version 2.73?
Thanks.

mifth · March 21, 2015, 11:46am

Thank you guys for your kind words. i‘ve been working hard to make modern professional tools.

chloesdad · March 21, 2015, 11:48am

Oops! I didn’t see installation instructions, duh.

mifth · March 21, 2015, 11:49am

Please, use 2.74.
2.73 has some bugs.
I added installation at the first post. just copy the folder into your addons and enable it.

These are looking really good, I’ll have to try these out once I start getting the time for personal work again.

Some suggestions for future tools:

The new Zbrush r7 modeller has some fantastic ideas that could be used. Also the curve tube brush in Zbrush is similar to the draw extrude you have, it just creates a default extrusion without having to set up a shape first. May also be a neat option to have so one can just draw basic cables without much hassle.

Modo has some really interesting ways to do mass edits to a mesh. Also a program to look at for inspiration for sure.

Anyway, your stuff is really cool and I’m looking forward to seeing the other stuff your working on! Mira is a lovely name btw :3

Thanks. My reference soft is Max, Modo, Lightwave. Some tools will be merget from there.
i’ll look into zbrush.

tungee · March 22, 2015, 3:21am

What does the draw curve tool do?

mifth · March 22, 2015, 3:42am

It’s still in WIP. It will have many possibilities and usecases. Right now i plan to remake bsurfaces and gstretch tools. To make them fast and interactive.
@1D_Inc sponsored this development. Big thanks to him.
