Hello Blender devs! I've been scratching an itch lately and working on a few features that I would like to see in Blender. I made a video so you can see how it works.
http://youtu.be/zcEvpjXlIfs Here's the video in brief: * I added a new tool, a *context-sensitive transform tool*, that does a different transform depending on what manipulator is active. So, if the Transform manipulator is active the tool works like Grab, if the scaling manipulator is active it works like Resize, and so on. * I added support for *pressing the same button which activated a tool to confirm*. So, press G once to grab, press it again to confirm. * I added support for *drag and drop handling*. This is seamless with the tools. Hold G to grab, drag the object, let go to drop it again. When you combine these three things together you get a mode of operation that I feel takes advantage of the "Blender Way" of doing things, (quickly and efficiently!) but also makes sense to users coming from other tools. These changes are also not incompatible with how current Blender users work, so you don't have to do the W-E-R Maya thing like I do to take advantage of the new features. I'll be submitting patches of my work when I'm a bit happier with them. (Right now it needs work still for a few edge cases.) For now I was hoping to get some feedback. What can I do to make the patch submitting process easier? Like I said in the video I'm going to be working on this for a while and I would like the team to consider taking me on as a member. In the meantime my work will be stored on my GitHub fork: https://github.com/BSVino/Blender PS - I keep trying to sign up for Blender Foundation but I can's log in. My username is Vino and I've clicked the confirmation email twice but it still says I'm not confirmed. Who can I talk to about this? -- Jorge "Vino" Rodriguez [email protected] twitter: VinoBS 919.757.3066 _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
