Have happy modeling!

Hi Max and thanks a lot for this very funny and useful script.

I just had told to Michael that I'm losing motivation on keep modelling with a 3D nurbs environment,
even with the superb Moi, and...here you are, with just another tricky script that ignited my imagination!

Thanks a lot Max!

I wanted to write a little modified version 1.0.1 that allows the selection of a source profile for the Sweep command.
If no source profile is selected then a factory Circle is used and the Diameter Input UI is displayed.
In the case of multiple source profile only the first selected profile curve is used for the Sweep command.

In the attachments you can find the file "Wire2.zip".
Unzip it and copy its content into the Moi's Command folder.

Here are a video and a screen capture :

See you!

Hi Pilou.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion but, as you can imagine, I already knew Sculptris for a long time and I've used it a lot some years ago.

But definitively no ZBrush for me :)
At least until Pixologic will decide to build a more consistent and less "crazy" UI for its flagship product.

I much prefer 3DCoat in (almost) all respects.

Ciao!

Sure 3D Coat is some more complete than Sculptris! :)

Else Sisley can transform some CADs in true paint! : ) (it's free) http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~mtzhao/research/sisley/

Wow, this discussion keeps getting more and more interesting!

Frenchy, merci beaucoup for the links and tips! I will definitely check them out thoroughly.

Marco, I can fully understand your choice for 3D Coat. It's a powerful ZBrush competitor, and I'm keeping a close eye on it, but I've already invested a lot of $ and time in ZBrush, and last time I tried 3D Coat (a few months ago), I concluded for myself that I still prefer the feel of ZBrush sculpting. It feels more fluid and natural, it's difficult to explain in words. :) But yeah, the ZBrush UI is an odd one, with all the tiny sliders and some other quirks, such as the unusual curves. I'm really looking forward to ZBrush 4R8, which will *finally* have a standard transform gizmo, although I've gotten reasonably used to working with the Transpose tool by now.

Max, you've once again proved your creative coding talent! Thanks a lot for the cool new tool!

Have a great weekend you all,

Translating the wire2 and test it I don't find Diameter on the result!
Does this normal ?

Edit sorry : that's normal as I had first choose a profile! :)

Hi Pilou,

the Sisley download link no longer works...

@Stefan

Sweet! :)

Hi Pilou.

The download link of Sisley (the Abstract Painter) is broken.

Where did you find the exe ?

There was there where it must be but seems the link is broken!
So PM me!

Version 1.6

Can wire2 work with history ?
So if you move one of the objects the wires redraw

Thanks
shayne

Hi shayne, unfortunately no there isn't any way currently to have a point picked in this way get updated with history.

PolyBrush New version! 1.7 (there is a free version;)

(French Site ;) http://polybrushfr.weebly.com/

Hi Pilou,

I find Polybrush intriguing and impressive, but up to now it feels like a fairly limited tool when it comes to general purposes, such as character design. Polybrush feels more like a tool to create a specific art style, comparable to generative art tools. Have you worked with Polybrush?

Have a nice weekend.
