RE: Interface Customizing Tips
talking about features of the interface: I remember an option to set the depth of objects that are drawn in the viewwindow. Don't know how else to describe it. To get the idea, under view properties/draw there is the 'draw only selection' option. It would be very nice if this could be expanded to a certain depth, like in previous versions of r3d. Or am I the only one?

RE: Interface Customizing Tips
Actually, I'd like to be abe to 'draw' the depth as well as input it numerically. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Realsoft should really consider Microstation's Accudraw approach on 3D input. It's the best system I've ever used. And proper and simple to use snap functions with snap highlighting. And and and... Oh, maybe later :-) Personally, I have changed the default key-bindings a little to help on draw refreshes. I have shift-R bound to Draw root only, and shift-S bound to Draw selected only. Karl talking about features of the interface: I remember an option to set the depth of objects that are drawn in the viewwindow. Don't know how else to describe it.

Magnetism Modeling Tool
I should probably just post this on the V6 requests thread in the Forum , but not everyone goes there (yet!) . Anyway , 10 years ago I used a really awesome modeling tool in Imagine on the Amiga . It was a Magnetism Tool that you could just bring close to the mesh and it would automatically push/pull the mesh within it's radius of influence . This made modeling an absolute breeze , and I'm sure it's being used somewhere in some SDS or nurbs modeling app's somewhere . It was really great and there was none of this select this face but that not that one or only these points but not those points etc etc etc . It was really fun . It might even be in RS3D but , again , I can't find it . As a matter of fact , we had a beta version of something like it from Andy Jones (I think [or maybe it was Kelly Brock]) in V3.53 . There was an ancient freeware modeller called Blob Modeller that had this function too . Ton's O' Fun ! If there's one thing I hate it's modeling , but back in those Amiga Imagine days it was a lot of fun to play with the magnetism tool and create interesting shapes with different settings . studio www.niagara.com/~studio www.studiodynamics.net

Re: Magnetism Modeling Tool
Hi Boris and Garry, I won't profess to be an expert in the mystical ways of the non-linear transform options, but the limitation i see it that you are limited to regular geometric shapes (rectangular or eliptic shapes along an axis). Thanks, again, Robert, for the great tutorial on this on your website. What I would love to 'borrow' from max and other programs is the concept of 'soft selection'. In this persistant mode, you can define (and modify) a radius of influence over an arbitrary point selection. When you then move, scale or rotate the selection, it feathers the influence smoothly. This is a godsend if you are trying to modify a topographic mesh for example. I think this would be a great fit with the paint selection tool, where maybe the tool can 'paint' grayscale values with an airbrush-type tool with feathered edge that would only be transformed according to its selection value. Garry, were you thinking of Imagine, by any chance? Boris, you are right that these deformation tools give you more control than a simple magnet tool, but soft selection would a great next step IMO.

Thots? agreed :) I asked for soft selection and other advanced selection features to implement in the selection painter a while back at the betalist already . Would be really nice. -- Bye Boris - http://www.3ddart.com - Realsoft Image Contest - http://www.realsoft.org -
