Graphite modeling tools
show user profile  soontekk
Been playing around with freeform a bit.
Just wondering how to increase the size of the strips you can draw.
I found when i zoom out or in they stay the same size while you paint, so they are bigger on your model when zoomed out.. not what i am looking for.

Is there a way to have less sections when drawing branches ?
I get too much detail and cleaning up after i draw is tedious, extruding from spline gives me a lot more control

how can i flow connect with more than one new edge added ?

i still can't get used to that 'graphite' ribbon bullcrap
it looks out of place and ducktaped together
i'd prefer a max-style floating menu or even the normal side menu thing at this point

melting ur brainz!

You use the minimum spinner to set the size. It does seem to suggest this can be set to world units or pixels but I'm not sure where you do that. This should effect branches too. You can't flow connect with more than one loop as far as I know, this is very annoying. And yes the ribbon sucks, especially when you accidentally hover your mouse over it and can't get rid of it.

I love the graphite modelling tools, and I don't mind the ribbon. I think it works well (mostly). I can't fathom the freeform bits though.
