LivePaintAuthor: Ahmidou Lyazidi
Here is an alpha version of a paint tool that doesn't need weight maps to deform a mesh. It's far from finished but is usable for painting push and smoothing. To install, copy the dll in your plugin directory then run this jscript command in the script editor: LivePaint()

Some things you need to know: only 32bit for now RMB to chose between push and smooth shift drag to change the brushopacity control drag to change the brush radius it only work on freezed objects undo will revert the object to it's state befor freeze there are many bugs, use it at your own risk — Have fun.




local backup: LivePaint.32.dll LivePaint.64.dll (copy to a Plugins directory)

hey ahmidou,

i tried to reproduce it. but i couldn't really track it down. since the mesh was only a regular grid i don't think it's of any use to you. : ) the widged appears as soon as u use it the first time and only after that appears when hovering over the mesh.

the red circle would be intended for the opacity right? because it's not doing anything for me at the moment.

maybe it would be good to have the brush widged active as soon as the tool is active? just a thought...

and here's what i get when i exit the tool.

# ERROR : 2268 - This function is missing:
# <function: paintDeform_DoExitTool>
# <path: W:\SI_WG\2013\Application\Plugins\paintDeform.64.dll>

but overall this is really cool man! thanks for sharing!

Thanks Ahmidou. This tool is a massive bonus. Any plans to pick this up again?
Painting indents on holding something like alt would be super awesome....our own little zbrush in Softimage. :))

I'd be happy to pay for this if the author would finish it. I'm sure everyone would chip in from here? Would love to see 2-3 more brushes added to it!

I may try to do a some updates, but it's hard do find some time, soit's going to be sparse and I can't give an ETA.

Hey Ahmidou
