Sculpt Tool for DS

[eelgoo]

This looks like a handy script.

Am I correct in thinking it is able to cut mesh, to make a functional buckle, because that is what is inferred in one of the promos?

Do you mean the item being sold by heiwa-interactive-arts on RenderHUb?

[ulysses]

Gotta a link? I haven't seen anything about it and the google isn't finding anything either.

It's this item,
https://www.renderhub.com/heiwa-interactive-arts/sculpttool-for-daz3d
This creator is also on Rendo and will be selling the item there soon.

I have a BIG problem with RH because of what's presently going on and will wait for the tool to show up on Rendo to buy it.
This is an excellent tool and she/he deserves our support for making something that Daz has locked behind their premium paywall.

So has anyone got to grips with this yet?

Or even any answer to my question? :0/

@eelgoo

I haven't had time to mess with this yet, I'm curious about your question as well. I use 4.24.0.3 and it isn't listed as compatible unless "4.x" means that it is.

I have mesh grabber installed and I use it occasionally to fix dForce clothing, I'm not sure that there's much of a difference beyond having a useful tool window.

[eelgoo]

That means it should work on all DS4 iterations.

Just checking it out now, it does work for 4.24! Looks very nice so far, interface is easy to navigate and it appears there are quite a few options like symmetry etc. Very cool plugin, I'll purchase and support this one. It has more features than mesh grabber from what I can tell.

I'll look and see if I can disconnect parts of a mesh, just a min.

EDIT: I don't see an option nor info in the readme on "cutting" meshes but I don't know. Another thing is that it can't do strand based dForce hair, the author says that daz doesn't expose those nodes to plugins etc.

[eelgoo]

It would be a real plus if it could.

A lot of extra functionality could be added to items.

For example, functional buttons, buckles & zips.

[Poe]

I'll mess with this some more later and see if I can't find a way to do that.

I'm finding it more useful than mesh grabber, it does appear to have at least the same features and more. You can use the lasso to select specific vertices then switch to another tool like "grab" and it will only effect the area within those vertices given the brush size.

[eelgoo]

That sounds more user friendly than Mesh Grabber.

[Poe]

I don't use mesh grabber that often but I can already tell that it is, definitely added to my "must have installed" list.

If this is half as useful as they claim for doing jcms I'll happily pay full price and more! When they list it somewhere that isn't RH at least...

@radiationking, The author has uploaded it to Rendo and once it's approved (could be a couple of weeks) it'll be for sale there. I'm chomping at the bit to buy this and support the author.

[3Demon]

Never mind. Heiwa tells me it is not MacOS compatible. And there are no plans for a Mac version.

The overview mentions "Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit", but then says it hasn't been tested on MacOS or Linux.

My confusion: If it only works in Windows, why would it be tested on MacOS or Linux?

More to the point, does anyone know if it works at all on MacOS?
