Polygon Islands 2.0

Written by MentalFish. Posted in Computer Graphics

Just in time for SIGGRAPH, we are happy to announce that Polygon Islands v2.0 is out and available for purchase. Alexandre Labedade ( aka Alexx ) have created a new version of this tool, and it has so many improvements it became a 2.0 release.

It is faster and got more features than the first version:

  • Added taper and bend tool
  • User definable deformation center (“pivot”)
  • Preview of single islands when deforming
  • Creation of morphs based on current deformation
  • Creation of weight maps

Utilize middle mouse button in LightWave

Written by MentalFish. Posted in Computer Graphics

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!
