koanix5 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 @michael That's my mistake and I'm really sorry for that... I got excited and did that . But still a lots of people have already watched the video not because of my post but because they follow SideFX on Vimeo and got the notification of that video. But why not use your own server & site for such confidential content? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still understanding ROPs so I won't be touching TOPs for a while. yeap, i do not get why this is a new context, and not just a improvement to ROP context. But i think sesi have a good reason to do this way. So, let's wait to official announcement brother!

Alexey Vanzhula Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Can't really understand what is PolyDraw (that creates old topobuild SOP). You can connect grid to second input of the TopoBuild SOP to produce same result. And where is magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koanix5 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @Alexey Vanzhula In H16.5, you need a base mesh to manipulate the geometry but in H17, you can use the same tool to create it without needing the base mesh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no a mesh, you can connect Grid SOP to second input of the TopoBuild SOP. Grid SOP as projection plane. All I saw in the video I can repeat in H16.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No man, the result is not same of add a grid on second input, because in Polydraw you not limited to the grid projection when creating new polys (360 DoF). And the reason Polydraw creates a topobuild, is because is a WIP tool, so, internally is using topobuild functionality on UI, but with "extras" on code.

CinnamonMetal Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) It would have been nice in the presentation to show a little box modeling, I know the new school set of modelers like ngons and booleans, puts a chill up my spine; anyhow as I was mentioning, some box modeling would have been nice in the presentation. Besides that, there is potential with this tool, and I look forward to using it, as it looks most of the modeling tools found in other packages are in the baseline of polydraw.

Nuke 11.2 has a new node building feature that allows you to drop and drag parameters to an empty node to construct a Frankennode that's pretty slick. https://www.foundry.com/products/nuke/new-releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapra Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 - Would be cool if the color picker lets you quickly pick color from wherever you want on your screens, like from a picture in the browser or other software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
