License? GPL?

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

it'll be released as commercial software!

vipox.bsky.social•22 days ago

Kk your choice afterall. Good luck!

hennejoe.bsky.social•22 days ago

Apologies if I've just not been in the loop but I initially thought this tool was originally going to be something more for level design but this looks more like a full modelling suite a la blender! Very cool!

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

it's somewhere in between! it's definitely not a fully fledged blender style software with cinema features, but it's still designed for making polygonal 3D models, while also having a lot of level art related features

hennejoe.bsky.social•22 days ago

I'll be picking it up when I can regardless, looks cool!

I'd be interested to see how quickly you could set up something using one of @makkon.bsky.social trim sheets, that's become my barometer of "how likely I am to use this for doodling cool little spaces"

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

if @makkon.bsky.social has some spare trim sheets it'd be fun to play with them!

makkon.bsky.social•22 days ago

most of my trimsheets are diffuse-only retro textures for quake, but I just uploaded these huge 4k megatrim textures for you to try! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d7fXEvAnHQ9JcElOKZdMjYtj7TE_r4kp/view?usp=drive_link

makkon.bsky.social•22 days ago

the idea behind these is that they're a trimsheet set to build whole environments on one set. anything from structural to mechanical to simple panels. it's basically 4 trimsheets in 1

rainwolf-plushie.bsky.social•20 days ago

is it okay to use textures for VRchat purposes

maikelortega.bsky.social•22 days ago

So cool that you're coming back! Loved your presentation there last year

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

happy you liked it! and I had a wonderful time as well c:

For some reason, this tickles my brain in the best way while also making me jealous that I don't have this cool 3D modeling software. Lol

dbchr.bsky.social•22 days ago

That’s pretty awesome! May I ask what’s driving the viewport? Is it based on Vulkan?

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

unity! so, platform dependent, but, currently d3d on windows

dbchr.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’ve only recently discovered my interest in gpu dev and am currently rocking OpenGL/WebGL, but I’d love to give a newer API a try as well. An editor like this looks like a great project to bring a lot of stuff together. Awesome work.

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

hah, yeah it's very much a culmination of everything I've done in my career, it's fun!

smoluck.bsky.social•22 days ago

It look so smooth and snappy !
I’d love to see some #Modo Modelling vibes into it.

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

thanks! anything in particular you like about modo?

smoluck.bsky.social•22 days ago

Well, I moved from Maya to Modo in 2006, an even if I’ve sticked to Maya navigation system, I really like the flow for Modeling and UI.

smoluck.bsky.social•22 days ago

polygon operation while having an edge selected that can imply an axe tool direction.

There’s many thing to consider here.

martinoberg.bsky.social•22 days ago

And the action centers. One of the thing I miss the most when I’m not in Modo.

smoluck.bsky.social•22 days ago

Hi yeah Action Centers are so appealing to use

lyhdyr.bsky.social•22 days ago

Last year I couldn't go so I'm happy to know I can see you this!

alexstrook.bsky.social•22 days ago

Cant wait for it to release, looks so good already

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

thank you!! it's a terrifying project but I'm also very excited about it!

alexstrook.bsky.social•22 days ago

Im excited about a 3D modeling software finally having sane UI/UX 😅 the bar is not high, but seeing all your part work (shapes/SF) no doubt it will be amazing

khip.nl•22 days ago

Would this tool also be useful for modelling / making grids for CFD situations like rotorblades, pipes, hulls etc? Can it export to fluent/cfx/star-cd?

khip.nl•22 days ago

grids or meshes I mean

freya.bsky.social•22 days ago

probably not! it's primarily designed for game developers, but I'm sure you *could* use it for some of those things
