Thanks. I actually did a video on this a p while ago. It's a feature of plasticity kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX6ydaekpqt4d9Esi=cg1_RHWoUnUJjluR

Actually sorry that's another software called auto hot pi in this case

I’ve never used modo so I’m not sure exactly what you mean? That the shading is faceted? That honestly sounds like a bug of some kind… I can get pretty good results from obj export in blender, maybe you should reach out on the discord as their is definitely vocal modo users there.

Yeah you can retopologize and reproject. I do this often for sculpting details after the fact, but mostly I don't feel the urge to do polymodeling after the fact just uv and texture... It's far faster to get high quality hard surfaces from plasticity than creating them in subd but if you need sub d for what ever reason then that is another perfectly good but slower way of working.

Thanks hahaha!

Thank you, will try my best!

Haha yep...

You're welcome!

Thanks alot!

You get a year of updates and get to keep the software version you bought for ever, if you want to upgrade after that year you can do so at a reduced cost or keep the version you're on forever

Thank you and I agree it's fantastic software

Yes you're right using curves gives a lot more control, but I also find it very useful in simple situations to achieve G2 tangency on areas where a simple patch or lift would fail with out taking it further, there are also instances were patch and loft yield better results than xnurbs so it is very much trial and error and case of best tool for the job.

Thanks you, I find the plasticity interface lends it self to creativity!

Agree it would need to offer quite alot to drag me away from nomad sculpt on iPad, it would have to have significant features over and above what is offered elsewhere on iPad

My pleasure

Thanks, yeah sorry I forgot to activate it this time will do in future!

Thank you!

Depends on how you use it, it can be used as a part of many different workflows, but there's not a single band aid fix I tend to use quad remesher at the end of a model or as a way of iterating you may need to re sculpt or reproject details, as you will lose detail, fortunately nomad is pretty good at reprojecting

The plug in or Plasticity?

Pretty good to be honest, I mainly model with a game asset workflow. you can get tris or ngons out at different levels of detail. And uving ngons is a breeze. If you check out my channel I actually made a blender plugin for optimizing ngon based mesh in blender to prepare plasticity (and other ngon based hard surface models) there's a free lite version on Gumroad. I feel like its easier to optimize a plasticity output generally than optimize as you go doing hard surfaces in blender. But that might just be me. Any way that's my take on it.. Also if you do decide you want to buy plasticity check out my discount code in the description.

Thanks for that. And to answer toe question Plasticity has imprint curve as well as project curve command as well as a curve array if that's what you mean.

@@takerefuge3d thanks, gonna check it out. the 149 dollar version is not gonna cut it as it does'nt support step file export so I can export back to Rhino for final assembly or sending the object to our CNC and robot machins for wood carving :( hehe.

@@sveinjohansen6271 Nice one Cheers!, You can Use my Code REFUGE10 for a 10% discount especially, as time goes on there will be more features in Studio so i see it as a good investment.,

@@takerefuge3d tried curve array, yeah it works, but not strong enough, it misses the option to follow along a curve with 2 sides where the width of the curve goes from small width to larger width to smaller width. Theres only a scale option. That I think broke my workflow :( its for ornaments in woodworking which I have been using Rhino for last year.

​@@sveinjohansen6271 Ah I know what you mean The curve modifier combined with array blender has a similar function where you can assign different weights to control points... Its a good point and I might check feature requests and add a request if there isn't already one on the feature requests page

Cyberphone in 15 seconds! Got it!

Yeah that would be nice!

Thanks I'm blushing, enjoy your summer time in Foggy Albion.

Free trial for 30 days then buy it, if you do decide to buy it you can use my code REFUGE10 for a 10% discount.

Im using 2024.1 and its the radial Pie Menus: I made a Video on it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX6ydaekpqt4d9E And here is the official documentation doc.plasticity.xyz/plasticity-essentials/radial-menu

@@takerefuge3d thank you

Thank you, I wasn't even going to make it but just saw the oppurtunity for a good example when modeling this asset

Thanks! It's a rabbit hole!

I Absolutely love it!

I'm glad you like it, looks like another vote for the ai powered narc

Yep exactly that work flow, if I do the rover would probably do an animation rig in blender aswell!

@@takerefuge3d 😎

@@takerefuge3d 😎

Looks like that one is leading in the polls on the community tab aswell!

Thanks for the feed back... It's quite hard to choose! But definately want to make something that can get beginners off the ground and into their own projects asap.

Thank you! :)

Actually did them a few different ways. The key pad buttons I extruded out from a circle and then applied raise degree twice pulling the centre vertex out and the outer ones in and then filleted the edge. For other buttons I unioned a sphere to cylinder then flattened the sphere part by selecting that face and scaling on the relevant axis

Great to know, many thanks for the reply Peter

Glad I could help, good luck in your trailer modeling journey!

This.

Exactly, the point I was trying to make (but maybe didn't explain properly) is that there is a tonne of solutions to every problem and that there is no one correct way to do any one task if the results are correct, then the solution is sound.

15 million Irish punts probably

Thank you Matt!

Thanks that means alot!

My Pleasure!

Some one gets it!!! 🤝
