Because with standard trueSpace primitive cube is not easy to create different x, y, and z cube resolution, I make an alternative trueSpace primitive plane plugin (with separate x and Y resolution).


So for example if I want to create a primitive cube with:

resolutionX = 8,

resolutionY = 2, and

resolutionZ = 5.


I just create a double side primitive plane with ResolutionX = 8 and ResolutionY=2, then sweep it 5 times for get resolutionZ = 5. :)


Below is screen capture of plane object before sweep action.

Hey guys, maybe I'm missing something here but don't forget that you can right click any primitives to bring up lots of primitive shape and parameter controls. :)

your missing something Mike.. try to create a plane with 6 faces x 2 faces ..couldn't be done until Johny's plugin ..[except I could on my machine because I made a plugin called quickgrid..never released]

Thanks stan, I'm not having the best morning am I? Missing the obvious all over the place! :o
edit: very cool (hot pink) plugin, I like the included link to this discussion too.

Good Question ;) Purple is come from trueSpace SDK sample code (makeobj code).



Thanks Mike :jumpy:

How can I missed this primitive parameters control:confused:

Ah, so let me see if I can figure this.


Hmmm...


Being new to 3D modeling I'm wondering what I'd use it for. I downloaded it anyway. :)


heck, I have nightmares about polygons versus edges and vertices, go easy on me. :(

Thanks for the plugin, but don't you think Caligari should have put this feature in? It's just another simple thing that's missing from a great app (and it's still missing in ts7 >.>).

Johnny !


Mabe you can make a very useful tool !

I need a PlInn that create spheres without triangles.

The spheres in TS have triangles on the top and bottom ;(


Than i need to create interaktive the degree of it ( i mean in degrees 1° - 359° ) and this please interaktive :)


excuse my poor english.

This is the kind of thing I love to see! A simple, well organized, COMPLETE interface to a given feature.


Great work johny, very clean and intuitive....

The spheres in TS have triangles on the top and bottom ;(To create sphere without triangle: "Create a polyCube obj(L=W=H) then add subdivision layer to it several times".


Than i need to create interaktive the degree of it ( i mean in degrees 1° - 359° ) and this please interaktive :)I'm affraid this kind of sphere still need triagles at top and buttom ;) (Because Top and Buttom centers are points) this kind of sphere can set by adjust primitive parameters and then manual delete several faces.

@Remnar, @JPSofCA : Thanks for tested it. :)
