Actually, it's $31.50, but even so it looks like it's a really good deal. I'll be getting it at some point... just strtuggling with hair atm, so I need to stay focused instead of running off and buying more toys to play with... :biggrin: ...as I do. :blushing:

Yeah. Price is a little higher than $13.50, but it does look worth it.

When my modeling skills are up to snuff' I'll be getting that too.

saw this in BA  not sure about it?? it only works on cylinders!

can see uses for that as a poser user........ but

grease pencil works with retoppo/bsurfaces (if I said that right)

so for me this looks like an easy way to do something I can do anyway?

guess it depends on how often/why I'd need it

 

from all the plugins/addons etc the only thing I have "learnt" is I really should learn python rofl ;-) 

i model in the extreme poly intense level so for me i always need to lower the count and this will make it alot quicker

also they are working on the newer version already which will work with objects of all shapes and the updates will be covered from here out

and yes my handes got faster than my eyes last night when i typed the cost so my bad on that

but for now i can play with it and learn the basics before i have to learn more about it later on

I'm thinking it could be useful in modeling conforming clothes for Poser among other things.  Going to be interesting seeing what other tools they follow this up with since they clearly intend it only as a starting point.

I've been using this tool for a week or so and I can tell you without a doubt it will save you tons of time either modeling clothing or retopologizing sculpted models. It's still a young tool, but what it does, it does very well. I'm happy to support the CGCookie team by buying into this tool, because it will only get more cool features and continue to get better. 100% pleased. Now, off to retopo another dozen or so models.
