DK Tools v0.1 - something to play with

Added 2018-06-20 09:52:58 +0000 UTC

So many of you straight up chosed to support me with the highest Tier which still has me bamboozled. I am constantly sending out the virtual hugs for sure! xD

So I owe it to you to show what the general idea is and since I thought about to place this asset on that tier I start with throwing version 0.1 at you.

Now - funny enough Moritz from Entagma just published the MOPS operators which seem to be a bigger and overall approach to what I had in mind with my tools.

My mindset for this is a bit more down to specific things I want to do often. Or even just find interesting and like to have it somewhere ready to be used. For example and testing purposes I included the vex orientation from my Island videos alongside with some more stuff.

At the moment the content of the asset is a playing ground to see how you can make the interface work with a variety of completly different functions.

The functions themselve are still a bit experimental but here is a quick overview what is there to play with.

- Push in positive Space

- Normalize Geometry

- Normals to 2nd Input

A handy function especially when combined with the normalization. The normalized geometry can me easily copied and scaled.

On that note - it is what is used in the greeble approach. The greeble is something I am working on and explore how to allow the interface to use your typical greeble geo which you can create and then feed into the asset. For now primitives get split and randomly extruded.

All in all this is a very early stage of what I want to do with this. The next steps will include finishing the greeble, finetuning the interface and keep adding functionality.

I have alot of ideas on what to include but you guys should also become a part of this. So if you have a whishlist of functionality you would love to have accessible in this asset let me know.

My plan is to polish this asset and share the new builds with you on a regular basis. The asset will be open for editing so that you can jump in by yourself and play around with it if you wish to do so.

Let me know what you think
