Cool, shaded particles in the viewport!

[pildanovak]

great work...

i know it's a test build but try this: zoom in a good amount, then try to select (rmb) a vert (my testobject: a suze, subdiv multi: 2)

this should select a vert that's probably out of view, if not then you've not zoomed enough. i can provide a blend if needed

this does not work when in solid mode and view is clipped to front verts

if i don't answer (i'm not here very often) send pn or mail if you're interested in the blend

I was testing new particles system ( i was modelling hairs )and I have one problem: how to control speed (lenght of strands) by vertex groups? ( I know how to define distibution by vertex groups).
on this site:http://www.blender3d.org/cms/New_Partic ... 721.0.html
Ton wrote: "To control speed of particles, or the length of a static particle strand, you can indicate to use a Vertex Group. The Vertex Group value will multiply with the existing starting speed.
The option is in the "Velocity" section of the Particle buttons. "
does it work in this build?

btw. new features are great

I believe Ton committed that a couple of minutes after this build was compiled:roll: I wasn't bout to make a new build just for that. I'm hoping for some new UI stuff before the next build.

hey

the particle system develops great! the shaded function with guides are great for making hair. i dont know how far animation will be a task, but for stills it seems to work amazingly fine.

different approach but still great result.

claas

Cool to see it going and going forward. I wonder if we see all these features in the actual release.


------------- EDITED & UPDATED, READ THIS-----------------


IF YOU ZOOM CLOSE TO THE OBJECT SO THAT ITS NOT COMPLETELY VISIBLE, YOU WILL GET SELECTION ERRORS IN EDIT MODE WITH VERTICES[

Falgor,

fullscreen, tweak, and merge - probably not. Everything else is already included in the code that will become the release.

but merge is so cool.

will at least the final released source be patchable by the merge patch?

[Scott Wilkinson]

The merge tools are excellent. What is the reason for not including them in an official release?

The patch is fairly new, and probably too close to official release for a proper review by Ton.

As for the other features -

Fullscreen - not going to be enabled in official builds in the state the code is now. Doesn't go well with ATI cards. Needs to be rewritten.

Tweak - Ton doesn't like it
