Tofu Arrival
Dang that was fast, Tofu arrived today and is all awesome! Yoda says he will be his padawan and not adopted by the evil empire. I am wondering what he is up to though, seems like Tofu is freaking out… Never trust a dude who always walks around in a bathrobe.
About 19cm tall including block of tofu with a good plastic quality and have some nicely painted details on it. On the removable base there are some vegan approved food items and it is possible to rotate arms and feet so he can stand on his own as well. Not on windy day though, he is a zombie after all. Oh, and beware the tofu block is removable too.
It is really cool to see a physical representation of a digitally animated character, inspiring to say the least.
Tofu the Vegan Zombie
Bump! This is a project from a few years back but I just re-discovered it and saw that the 3D model of Tofu was made into a vinyl figure. Cool stuff if you ask me, so I bought one and will place it next to Mr. Imperial Royal Guard.
Now I want to convert some 3D models into physical models too. I’ll post some pictures of Tofu when he arrives.
In case you haven’t seen the pilot episode of Tofu or its been some time since last you did, here it is one more time:
QuadPanels for LightWave
First! As the first and very happy customer of QuadPanels, I can really recommend it to anyone in need of Sci-Fi detailing, or any tech detailing for that matter. Automagic with awesome results and upcoming additions to it, you can’t go wrong. Give the demo a whirl and see for yourself.

Now you can both import and export .chan files from LightWave, which means you can easily use NukeX as a 3D camera tracking solution for LightWave.

Property panel to front
Here is a new LScript that toggles / brings the property panel inside of Layout to the front when you go from one item type to the next.
Utilize middle mouse button in LightWave
When I had a rant in the LightWave Skype chat on the use of middle mouse button for selections, i got directed to http://www.autohotkey.com/ but since I am on a Mac I had to google for an alternative and landed on a forum thread on the matter and I got pointed further to http://www.orderedbytes.com/ . I have been looking for a solution like this before but never found it for some reason, my googling skills might have been diminishing…
WARNING! Awesomeness ahead!
You can download my ControllerMate setup if you feel like.
Inflate & Deflate
These are a couple of simple inflate and deflate scripts, that can also prove to be useful alongside the Transform Polygon Islands script.
Transform Polygon Islands Update
I have added some changes to the polygon islands LScript.
Quick Selection
New LScript for you all. One thing to keep in mind is that the script can make Modeler stop recognizing scripts and plugins if it is clicked alot, some bug in LScript I guess.
