There is already a thread for Workspace plugin requests but there could be a demand for tools that run in the Model side.


Here is a request for an advanced Scene Explorer.


I will provide the enthusiast developer that will pick up that one with all bitmap materials and testing :)


That tool concept is basically an enhanced version of PrimitiveItch's piScene tool attached below.

piScene tool runs faster than trueSPace's Scene Editor (also known as KFE) but lacks some features like multiple selection and render options.


What do you think ?

I think this is a cool idea.


Shade has an excellent feature like this called explorer. Everything can be logically contained in "parts" (similar to encapsulation in ts), and is otherwise very similar to to emmanuels' proposal. Shade fans (those seemingly few of us left, unfortunately) generally like it's ability to organise scenes efficently.


Here's a screenie (the explorer panel is in the middle-bottom).

Actually, this would be good in workspace too. It's a pain trying to toggle the visibility of something in workspace.

Well I'm only just beginning to get a chance to try out model side on 7.6 so it's early days for me working out what features we've already got, but seomthing that would be a big help would be a list of which plug-ins (or specific versions in some cases) still work properly under the Model side. I haven't got a huge number of TS5 plug-ins and need to check over these but there were certainly a lot of ts6.x plug-ins that sounded useful and it would be great to know which are still functional (and available)....


I know the tsx archive is slowly growing - perhaps this could just be expanded to indicate whether they've been tested under 7.x/7.6...
