i made the first part a while ago, just not the second part which is needed for new projects using cmake. feel free to ask my any questions though... maybe i can turn this new project into a tutorial on cmake also

@piotrek, yes caching normals in the view frustrum seems to be what softimage weight paint brush does. if you give it a try with >500k triangles you will see initial lag and various lags happen after camera manipulation. i am going to stick with the PickBuffer and use what i have learned from this t...

thanks for the code snip.. i see for the polygon normal function you have a PolygonFace argument. where is this coming from? is the PickBuffer giving you this class? i thought the PickBuffer just gets you the Index of the filter you choose and not the actual CRef which you can cast to a PolygonFace? s

hey piotrek i am making a brush based custom tool myself (similar to 'meshPaint') and was wondering about your speed of access to the components of a mesh. i want to recreate exactly what the weight paint tool is doing with regards to orienting the brush with the surface. currently on activating the...

It’s taken minutes to support XSI 2013. Good to hear something like that, as most of the times the rendering SDK in S...

stephan's tool looks more polished. thanks for sharing!

are these usable outside of compounds? i mean let say i am using the ShaderDefinition API?

interesting! reminds me of the modo tool that came out recently in 601, 'texture replicators'?

are we sharing measuring tools here? i made this one a while ago... list of measurements taken... http://i46.tinypic.com/fnzhh5.png unit conversion... http://i49.tinypic.com/28bsbid.png multi line measuring... http://i49.tinypic.com/9aolt1.png it also does this cool thing where your measurement is c...
