Public Beta: Trestle & Scrim

[Igors]

Hi, Stephane, Ian

WireMaker is really a great addition to make lots of strange things.

Our goal was a lot of usable things

A question so. Wouldn’t it be possible to make the ID readable by Xpressionist to animate objects construction for example, or create parts of objects depending on a sound music. All types of great animations could be controled by this way. No?

It depends from you, not from us. If you show us your cool examples with WM (or with Scrim + WM) and say “Igors, I’ve an idea of a cool movie, gimme XP abilities”, then we answer “sure, Stephane, here they are”. But now we can answer only “we’ve no enthusiasm to create an “abstract” feature that maybe would be usable, our plug-in is not a collection of ancient relics”

Scrim Beta 8 cosmetic changes:

• better defaults (in our opinion)
• added banner
• fixed bug “array mode + 1 child = crash”

[Hiddenman.fr]

In Trestle, select a point or a group of points and use the Lock UV button. All the points colors are changing from Black to Purple. Press again the button, nothing is changing. The points colors should be changed from Purple to Black as if you use the “SHIFT + L shortcut”.

Igors,

I really have pain to texture a Scrim object. See the project linked. I try to make some cables using UV to apply my cable texture on them in one time but the fact that Scrim doesn’t do real “Uniformed Steps”, my texture isn’t well applied. It stretchs at the top and bottom. See Camera View and World Side view. Any idea why when you want uniformed divisions, Scrim puts more steps at the bottom and top of objects?

Trestle Beta 5: implemented recent requests of Uwe and Ian (we hope nothing is forgotten )

Yes, “invert selection” is a standard way. But in this concrete case “set UV flag” does NOT restore UV value before “clear UV flag” - instead a new U value is assigned. Thus let these operations will be not in same style and let a little more activity *shift + L" is needed to kill existed UVs.

Will be fixed in next beta (or in final release), but only for “opened” segments (that have no neighbors). Generally any spline doesn’t promise a regular step.

Wow!

Trestle is really starting to feel complete now (version 1 anyway). It has a good feel, more then one way to do some things in order to suit personal preference which is a good touch… and I really like the roaming end point.

Command-Scale is a nice touch too, thanks

Time to finish off all my half done models!
