Can someone point me to HOW to use the new widgets? There's nothing I can see in the menus yet Something about RT #, ctrl, its too much for my little brain. its easy: 1) press [ctrl]+[space] 2) select an object/vert/whatever in the 3dview 3) YAY! the widget showed up! check out the nifty move widge...

hrmmm... i cant download the build anymore...

i could dl it at school but now i can only download about 288 kb before the download suddenly stops.

its not in Gabio's most recent build (i have no idea about the CVS source), but i think that it would be a good idea to do so...

aww.. still the [ctrl] widget cycle? i much prefer the old g/r/s change... but, if this [ctrl] cycle is here to stay (please say it isn't...), could the [ctrl]-[tab] selection mode also change to cycle for consistency? although the widget icons are rather nice.

a bunch of you guys are talking about dual axis constraints...

well, you're in luck!

just press [shift] while you click on one of the widgets and Blender will constrain to the OTHER two axis...

this made me very happy when i found out about it...

WOW! COOL build i showed it to some of my friends in school who had shied away from Blender (due to its learning curve etc.) and thought that the widgets were cool and would make Blender much easier to use. i also think that there should be an extrude widget, say maybe assigned to the [e] hotkey whi...

oh, i guess i misinterpreted it then...

thats a good idea, btw

i may be interpreting what you guys are wanting incorrectly...

but try to turn OFF the little icon with the shaded box in the 3d view header in edit mode
(its only visible when you're in shaded mode)

its next to the selection mode buttons

you may be pleasantly surprised

(those dots are REALLY annoying) you can already do this select the faces that you want to "level" place the cursor along the plane that you want to align the vertices to make the cursor the center for scaling scale in the x/y/z direction, which ever works by pressin [s]->[x]or[y]or[z] Regards, ~Delta

is anyone still working on incorporating NURBANA into Blender?

Regards,

i still dont see how this can work. if measurement is relative to what we see, we cant gauge how far we are moving the object (unless you're in perspective mode) even then, how will you be able to accurately distinguish if youve moved your object 0.5 blender units or 500 blender units?

i disagree about the color picker proposal that you have...

it doesnt make sense to me to have a completely separate popup in order to just set the color...

although i do think that this would lead to a more streamlined interface, this could slow some user down

Regards,

the color wheel instead of the brightness plane is a good idea, joeri. even though the color picker is a good idea and would be a great workflow addition, i dont find myself using it too much... however, with a better, and faster interface, such as adrian's idea of having the [diff] [spec] and [mir]...
