Compared to polygon modeling, which is sometimes referred to as “pushing and pulling vertices”, sculpting is far more artistically intuitive. stuff.īut only if you got one, I'm not going to buy one for it.Digital sculpting is a form of 3D modeling that aims to emulate traditional clay sculpting. There seems to be space left for often used keys and history listing and. something like but with the keyboard layout for 2.49 / 2.55 and with configurable macro keys. With maybe a history on screen or even macros stored. I rather see a virtual keyboard ( hotkey preset pad ) on the iPad, or even a numpad on my touch for my laptop. That interface needs a lot of work until it get usefull. The 5 dots seems to stay on the same 2d plane.
The conversion from 2d to 3d does not seem to get easier with this. )Īnd using a 600,= device as an input device seems a bit over the top to me.Ĭool looking and pushing frontier barriers, but, you know, also useless and pricy.įun when you need to clay a 5 blobby blob. Rather expensive though, and not very handy when getting a call during shoot. I can tell you first hand that OSC+2.5's RNA would be FANTASTIC and darn it if I could only get it to work I could show you why in so many an iPhone as 3d orientation is a cool idea. If this one video has sparked the interest of any developers, I think they should talk to Fabian and myself. But the iPad is great for sliders and dials and readouts (OSC goes both ways) of information. That's why I chose a game controller, personally. And though I *did* buy an iPad, I can safely say that a big flat surface is not the end-all device for getting multiple simultaneous granular inputs because people like to interface with hardware in a lot of different ways, and really - if you're trying to watch the computer screen (ie, Blender) for the conversion to animation you need something that is easy to understand without you looking at your hands.
What those parameters are that are actually being controlled though I contest should be much more meaningful and interesting. Just imagine that combined with TouchOSC and you've got the right idea. I think that's sufficient enough for now.įabian Fricke helped me realize that feature, and in its very early stages it works The real key is the connection of 2.5's RNA to OSC. Since last year when I spoke on digital puppets at blender conference, I have been trying to do this!
