PolyGnome - Mesh Construction Kit

Nice work on update Daniel, good job as always...

Further adding features to the latest version.

For those assets that require some helper / placeholder / proxy / whatever you may call it: Disposable Polygons.

This is something I wanted to provide for a long while now, but needed the "Assetizer" functionality to be able to handle this feature.

Great solution Daniel,

If you remember, I was ask for this function in our PM conversation at the beta times...(pictures are still there)

To welding/optimizing...Are points of assets which hold the same position welded/optimized automatically by plugin or user need weld/optimize object manually by entering command for welding/optimizing?

For sure I remember your request during beta testing. Back then I mentioned this was a very nice feature, with great added value. But I also mentioned I wasn't able to provide a user-friendly solution, and as such it needed to wait before being implemented.

As a result of the newly added Assetizer, I could now easily introduce this feature. Apologies for taking so long to finally get your feature implemented.

Welding is performed by the plugin. No manual weld/optimize is required.

I tried showing it in the video, but I just realized now I erroneously used points instead of polygons to demonstrate the feature.

While version 1.3 is currently in beta, I couldn't resist working on yet another feature: interactive rotation of assets.

As always, I first prepare some concept to try out and see if things can get worked out.

While being far from fully functional, I simply had to share next concept video showing off the interactive rotation (interactive scaling is next on the list).

I am not planning to include this feature in the 1.3 version as this would delay the release, but hopefully will get it ready for a next update.

Nice progress Daniel...

Indeed would be fun to see what it can do. Although I haven't done much of anything 3d lately outside of work this has tempted me to take on another stupidly detailed project, I have a mercersades I started doing some time ago but I think I might pick something else.

Working on some other plugins (and life in general) did interfere with the planned release of PolyGnome 1.3

With a little delay I can now inform that the latest update has been finalized and distributed to the customers. Had some issues with building the plugin for the different Cinema 4D releases (R16 .. R19) as well as the different Mac OS versions. As such, I hope everyone received their appropriate version.

 

Time to start working on the next update, but I'll first need to finalize a few other things.

Some of you might have noticed that my plugins are not available anymore at the C4DCafe Store.

I had requested Igor to temporarily disable or remove the plugins from the webshop.

Reason for this is that I did not want potential customer to purchase a pre-R20 version, expecting to have a working version when Cinema 4D R20 is released.

Since updating the plugins to R20 might require some time (once I have access to an R20 SDK), I had decided to make plugins available via the store only after their R20 version would be ready.
