Michael,

sorry, it was my turn to be busy yesterday. It seems I won't be the only one to use this script after all. Nice examples of it's use guys!

Many thanks,
Felix

Another feature I would like if possible is to offset multiple curves to the inside or to the outside.

You mean for this OffsetMultiStep plug-in? It actually does work with multiple curves already, just select all the curves you want to offset before running the command.

The only tricky part with multiple curves is that each curve determines which direction to offset by using the same point that you pick. It's easy to pick a point that will be on the outside of all curves, but because you pick just one point it can only be on the inside of one of them if you have all closed curves.

So if you want to offset to the inside you may need to use the "Both sides" checkbox so that offsets on both sides will be generated.

This is cool - I assume this will make it into the next beta (so we don't have to download the script separately?)

No, no plans for that right now - it's normal for plug-ins like this to be separate from the main install.

In the future at some point I do want to overhaul the plug-in install mechanism though so that you can install a plug-in once into a central location and then have it available to new MoI versions without doing anything more.

But for now if you need extra functionality like this plug-in you need to download and install it.

Hi Michael,

Is there a central repository for all scripts? So that users can find and download them. On the resources page there is a link to some scripts, however, they are not necessarily up-to-date. For instance, the importpointfile script is not up-to-date. So I have been hosting it myself.

It would be nice if there was a place on the MoI website where all of the latest versions of all of the scripts were held. I have been assuming that your current method is to let the user find the latest scripts by searching the MoI forum.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi anthony - the current script repository is on Petr's page here:
http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/

The majority of scripts are listed there, there may be a few that are not up to date though.

In the future I do want to make an "official" centralized script repository but instead of having it as just a regular web page I want to make it a web service that you would connect to and browse from within MoI so that you could do something like click a button to install one of the scripts rather than needing to actually download it separately and install it manually.

I'm not sure yet exactly when that will happen though, hopefully at some point in v3. But it's possible it could get postponed if I get really focused on higher priority tasks like some kinds of new modeling tools.

- Michael

You can also find maybe some scripts here ;)

Thanks Michael,

That would be great. I think an official up-to-date repository would be a great addition.

Thanks Frenchy,

I was not aware of that page.
