The Mesh Grabber s tool options allow you to select several modes for how the falloff is computed within the radius as well (see below). the falloff radius) in three ways: via the Falloff radius slider in the tool options (see below) by holding down the Ctrl key and moving the mouse wheel up or down while the tool is active by using the Ctrl and PageUp or PageDown keys (by default you can change these keyboard shortcuts in the Daz Studio Customize dialog F3 key). You can change the size of the sphere (i.e. As you can see in the picture above, only a single polygon was selected, but dragging it moved a lot of polygons with it. The wireframe sphere around the gizmo s center indicates a falloff radius that determines how many and how much the faces surrounding the selection will be dragged along as well: faces immediately next to theģ Mesh Grabber 2.0 selection will be moved strongly, whereas more distant faces within the radius sphere will be moved less. Unlike that tool however, the gizmo of the Mesh Grabber tool will move the vertices you have selected within the object s mesh. Dragging geometry Once something is selected, the tool will display a gizmo with the three axes (X, Y, Z) and planar controls (gray triangles for the XY, XZ, YZ planes) similar to the Universal tool. This is intentional: for example in order to fix poke-through in clothing, you can select the piece of clothing in the scene tree first and then be sure that the tool will not pick up geometry in the figure that s wearing the clothing, or other clothing pieces.
By contrast, if an object is already selected in the scene, the tool will ignore all geometry that is not in the selected node. If nothing is selected yet, then the tool will automatically select the object under the mouse and then select geometry in it. Note: Like the Daz Studio Geometry Editor, the Mesh Grabber tool behaves differently depending on whether something is already selected in the scene. The three modes are also shown in the Mesh Grabber s Tool Settings pane (see below). You can also switch between polygon (face), edge and vertex selection with the context menu. The Mesh Grabber tool supports the same keyboard shortcuts that work in the Daz Studio Geometry Editor (by default, Ctrl and the + and - keys). If you right-click on the selection, you can also select Grow selection and Shrink selection which might make selecting larger areas easier.
Reversely, if you hold down the Alt key while clicking, polys will be removed from the current selection. If you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking, the tool will not remove the existing selection, but add polys to the selection instead. Similar to the Geometry Editor, you can do the following to make selection easier: You can hold the mouse button down after the first select to select many polys at once ( swipe selection ). Once the object has been activated, you can select individual faces in the geometry, similar to how Daz Studio s Geometry Editor tool works (see picture on the right). You can move and rotate vertices directly in Daz Studio.Ģ Mesh Grabber 2.0 Selecting geometry When the tool is active, you can click anywhere into an object to select it, much like you would with the Universal tool.
DAZ STUDIO 3.0.1 SOFTWARE
If you are familiar with creating your own morphs by exporting OBJ files from Daz Studio, changing them in a modeling software and then re-importing the OBJ into Daz Studio via Morph Loader Pro: this tool saves you all that. But even if you have never used Blender or any other 3D modeler, you will find this immediately useful, for example to quickly fix poke-through with clothes without having to test a lot of morphs to find one that fixes a particular problem. If you are familiar with Blender, the tool is imitating some of the functionality of Blender s Grab and Rotate tools with proportional editing enabled. Mesh Grabber 1.0 was released in November Version 2.0 comes with fixes and new features and also adds support for rotations, if you have the new Mesh Grabber Rotation Add-On installed as well. You can now select individual vertices of the objects in your scene and push and drag them around. This tool adds actual geometry modeling functionality to Daz Studio. 1 ManFriday s Mesh Grabber ManFriday Table of Contents Features.1 Selecting geometry.2 Dragging geometry.2 Rotations.3 Tool settings.4 Morphs.5 Falloff types.6 Notes.7 Installation.8 Ideas for future add-ons.9 Acknowledgments.9 Change log.9 Features This plugin for Daz Studio 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 adds a new Mesh Grabber tool to your Daz Studio s Tools menu.
