Wings 0.98.26a is out

Hello to all !!

Wings 0.98.26a is out !! :slight_smile:

/Björn

  • The View|Saved Views|Save command will no longer crash when used in
    the AutoUV window (for segmenting) or in Tweak or Connect modes.
    (Problem reported by yst.)
  • If Dissolved of edges happened to remove the virtual mirror face,
    subsequent operations (such as Save) could cause a crash.
    (Problem reported by yst.)
  • Selected|By|Isolated Vertices could select vertices in hidden objects.
    (Problem reported by yst.)
  • All mouse/key combinations in the color palette and in AutoUV now works in
    all camera modes and with an one-button mouse on the Mac.
  • The Lift Free command now works more as expected, allowing the same kind
    of motion as the Move|Free command. (Thanks to PuzzledPaul.)
  • In the AutoUV window, the Unfold command in vertex mode would cause
    a crash if there wasn’t at least two vertices per chart selected.
    (Problem reported by wasamonkey.)
  • Also minor corrections of the Swedish translation.

I couldn’t have said it better! Way to go, Björn, Wings is certainly one of the best poly/SubD Modelers out there. Happy, happy, joy, joy! :wink:

Edit: Well, maybe he’ll read this (hehe!): I’m sure that’s a question that’s been asked for a gazillion of times, but: Will there ever be tablet support in Wings? After you put away your mouse and started to model with a Wacom, you just can’t turn back… It doesn’t feel “right” anymore.

That’d be awesome. That and real time SubD Modeling and Wings would be my main modeler. Man. That’d be awesome.

heh, i can’t work with a tablet in 3d, not enough buttons to navigate :wink:

#5

And Bones, Bones would be awesome! And maybe a faster viewport, like Silo (although the new version doesn’t flicker anymore, all the previous Wings versions flickered from time to time)… and… well, there’s not a lot more I’d wish for in a traditional modeler! :slight_smile:

Oh, @azazel: Well, I used to think so too. But after using ZBrush and setting up Silo the way I liked it, I just can’t model with a mouse anymore. Especially for tweak Mode, the tablet is your best friend. Not enough Buttons? Well, maybe, but if you have some sexy hotkeys that’ll help you out it shouldn’t be a problem. And when it comes down to it I use about… 10 tools. That’d be it.

Try to work with the tablet, think about clever controls you could use (I’m not a Blender User, but I think the Blender Controls are great for a tablet!), you’ll learn to love it - It’s like being married, haha :wink:

#6

Yeah, you right. But on the other hand, i use maya’s setup in wings, so no problems when jumping to maya if it’s required, and it so happens c4d has very similar setup - in the end, no matter which app i have to use, controls are generally the same, even out of the box. I could probably customize it all for tablet - guess im lazy :wink:

#7

For now I only use my tablet with Tweak Mode and it does work with Wings3d :stuck_out_tongue:

Go in your tablet’s options and set it to mouse although I didn’t even have to do it with my own :hmm:

#8

Using Mouse Mode with a tablet doesn’t make a lot of sense - that way you could also use a mouse, you wouldn’t have any advantage. But really modeling with a tablet is a great thing, once you’re used to it and if the program’s laid out for it.

#9

Does Wings3D have any pressure sensitive enabled tools?I don’t think so…I don’t know about Silo but really I only personally need it with Zbrush…for now.

#10

That’s great!:bounce:

For my job (Arch) I work in 3ds. I love it, especially because of good interface with CAD, the modifier stack possibilities and available renderers. My fav modeler is Rhino, I find it very robust. And now I just discovered how powerfull Wings 3d is. It is simply an amazing modeler! And fun! And very flexible in terms of real time navigation interface.

Many many congrats to the Authors:applause:

yeah but wings has this nice spin speed relative to first exact pixel clixk error-thingie stuff. wich means that if your tablet is in pen mode your screen will go crazy. hard to explain, have to see it.

at least in osx

Blender now imports Wings files in. (Since 2.34 i think.)
Also, now Blender comes with it’s .Obj importer, so you don’t need external scripts.
