Re: [Bf-committers] Simple modifier: deform axis support
I would tend to agree with Jonathan. From an artists perspective it is always terribly confusing when you have an option to bend around a axis and it doesn't actually bend around the axis you set. For example, X should bend around X and Y around Y etc. Doing this would help the using if such a tool immensely. :) -Andy On 13 Jul 2013, at 19:58, Jonathan Williamson jonat...@cgcookie.com wrote: I guess I don't really follow what you mean? Here is what I would expect X to do: http://cl.ly/QE02 So that it's bending around the X axis, as if the mesh were paper wrapping around a cylinder. This is exactly how Y axis behaves.

Jonathan, thanks for reply :) By default bend deform bend object along Z axis to Y axis. After my change, when you set Y it deform along Y to Z. And for X: X to Y. So current behaviour is not a bug i think. But maybe better add new option specially for bend to set also way of deformation not only deform axis? Thanks. This is great Andrey! Not being a developer I can't speak to the actual patch, but I was able to apply it and test. This is something I've wanted for ages. It seems to give some inconsistent results, though. Using a Torus with the origin at the center, with a Bend angle of 120 I get different results for the X and Y axis. With the Y axis I get this (which is exactly what I would expect and want: http://cl.ly/QBXP But with the X axis (using the same bend angle) I get this: http://cl.ly/QBrk All other deform modes seem to work consistently.

Re: [Bf-committers] Object space normal map axis proposed change.
Yea, I think that this would also be a great idea. It would also good for the tangent space map too so that people can flip the green (Y+ to Y-) for when they are using game engines such as UDK or CryENGINE.

Hy everyone, I would like to propose a change the the axis configuration that is currently used when baking to object space normal maps. What does everyone think about changing it so that the axis matches the one for the tangent space normal maps (X+ Y+ Z+)? Currently the OS maps use a very odd configuration so if anyone wants to use them in other applications, or as something like a selection/direction mask while texturing, they have to do some very complicated channel flipping and swapping within Photoshop which is confusing even to experienced users.

Re: [Bf-committers] Reference Images Proposal
I am really pleased to see a compromise on this, I really think having this functionality will really help expand Blenders flexibility and capabilities. Is this a project that I can tackle or does everyone feel that a more experienced developer should do this? I can always take this on under a more experienced developer if that is a option. -Andy Braham Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 15:59:14 +0100 From: ideasma...@gmail.com To: bf-committers@blender.org Subject: Re: [Bf-committers] Reference Images Proposal it would still be adding geometry which would be constrained to the current draw system, having empties reference images means we can define a different draw method which ignores draw types, its also a bit odd to have a modifier that only creates data (ie, not a modifier).

[Bf-committers] Reference Images Proposal
Hi everyone, I wanted to start work on improving background images, right now the only thing that can be done with background images is adjusting the scale, and x/y position this does not leave very much flexibility. What I propose on doing is creating a Reference Image or Image option in empty objects, or possibly adding a new Image object using empty objects as the foundation. This would eliminate the need to adjust the images external to Blender plus many more benefits: 1.) Image orientation - Allows any image orientation and scale helping with aligning and fine tuning images. 2.) Multiple Images with varying depths - This functionality would be invaluable when modeling objects with cross sections. 3.) Scenes - Allows images to be used as objects in scenes saving time on modeling and allows stacked image backgrounds similar to cartoon style backgrounds. 4.) Foreground Images - By using X-Ray the image would be rendered in the foreground. 5.) Projection - When Project Paint is finished this will allow the addition for the ability to move the image over a object and project the image into the texture. 6) Flexibility - This allows Blender to be much more flexible by not tying the images to just a view orientation. 6.) Implementation - This functionality would be quite easy to implement since none of the views would be affected by adding more options. I would really like some feedback on this from everyone. /Thanks, Andy Braham/ [IRC: Smurfinator] ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
Re: [Bf-committers] Reference Images Proposal
As for existing background images would it be best to convert them? If a background image is found we could create a reference image with its origin at X:0, Y:0, Z:0 and direction facing the same as the previous view (right = X:1, Y:0, Z:0) The Drag and Drop is a good option, could we take it a little further by adding a drop would create the empty/image? -Andy On 3/6/2010 8:14 AM, Campbell Barton wrote: Some more fun things... 8) Would be nice to have an Add Image Reference in the add menu which could select from images, would bring up a search menu if there were10 (just like add group). 9) Drag and drop an image from the file selector onto a mesh applies it to the texture, but dropping onto an empty could make it a reference :) Generally this gets a +1 from me but what happens to existing background images? - is this removed? if so we can use do_versions to add empties. is this an acceptable replacement?
