Here is an overview of the
new features and changes included in PolyBoost 3.0 Curve Loop |
|
|
Transform
the selected edges/edgeloops into smooth curves where the curvature
is defined by the position of selected vertices along the loop. Very
intuative workflow! |
|
|
Space Loop |
|
Space vertices evenly along selected edges/edgeloops. |
|
Straighten Loop |
|
Turns selected edges/edgeloops into straight lines. |
|
Circle Loop |
|
Forms the selected edges/edgeloops into a circle |
|
Relax Loop |
|
Relaxes the curvature of the selected edges/edgeloops. |
|
UV Lineup - multiple
loops |
|
Lineup/straighten multiple UV edgeloops simulaneously. Great timesaver. |
|
UV Stitch |
|
Stitch together selected
uv seam vertices with their corresponding seam vertices
in a reliable way. |
|
Similar |
|
Can now select similar
subobject elements based on all currently selected
elements. |
|
PolyDraw |
|
The Border tool can now
also be used to add new geometry in screenspace,
which lets you drag out new polygons perpendicular to the view in perspective
view. Ability to move vertices in screenspace is also added as an option. The Move tool can now also be used to move vertices, edges or polygons
in
screenspace. |

More features and
fixes |
|
- DotLoop/DotRing can now be used to select multiple
dotted loops/rings
at once.
- SetFlow can now be used on a vertex selection..
- The PolyDraw tools are now on average 20-30 % faster.
- UVW Unwrap selection tools completely rewritten
for 3ds max 8 and higher to work reliably and within UV seams.. UV
edge and vertex loops on seams is now also available.
- CreatePolygon can now also be used on selected
edges.
- The ViewportCanvas brush can now be interactively
resized while drawing.
- Colorpicker added to the ViewportCanvas interface
to sample color from view.
- Additional standard brush added to ViewportCanvas.
- Memory leak fixed in PolyDraw and ViewportCanvas.
- Fixes a problem with having Showendresult turned on in PolyDraw.
- Fixes a conflict with the DDS fileformat.

section of the website to view videos of the tools in action.
Go here
to view a list of all the featured tools in PolyBoost.
Available for download is also the PolyBoost user-reference with more
extensive
descriptions of the tools and interface: Download Some notes about the tools:
PolyBoost will work in 3ds max versions 5 - 9, 2008 and 2009. Most of the
tools work on all subobjectlevels, so it's one tool for all modes. UVW-mapping
is kept
intact for all the modeling tools and work with modifiers in the stack.
Many tools
have an optional functionality when the shift key is pressed. This will
either apply
the tool on the current selection only, or do another variation of the
tool. Shortcuts
are available for all tools that do not require an interface in order
to be useful. The
PolyBoost main interface, where all tools can be found is always available
by
shortcut key or from a quadmenu. |
