Is it out? (don't say “soon”).

DM 1.5 zone menu system.

An example of how you can create your own customizable menus via shelf tools:

if not hasattr(hou, 'dm_menu'):
    from dm import ui, symmetry, simple_tools
    from dm.state_tools import push

    class DM_Menu(ui.ZoneMenu):
        font_size = 10
        cell_width = 80
        cell_height = 32
        border_size = 1
        font_color = 'black'
        left_color = '#555555'
        right_color = '#555555'
        top_color = '#444444'
        bottom_color = '#444444'
        left_right_offset = 0
        opacity = 0.94

Alexey, you make awesome tools and everything you do is very appreciated. I hope you will consider taking the time to add proper documentation since to this day I feel like I'm probably utilizing 10% of DM because I haven't quite been about to figure out how it all works.

I realize that your English might not be good enough for you to feel comfortable doing extensive tutorials, but if that's the case, please do consider asking someone else to do a series of tutorials for you. I think that would go a long way toward making your product a lot more popular and useful.

Thanks!

I'm going to record a series of tutorials in Russian and English

Awesome news Alexey.
I do agree with Midphase. I think a collection of short videos showcasing individual features will go along way in helping people to understand the scope of what you have created.

Great stuff.

Direct Modeling is an awesome modeling toolset for Houdini and I love the menu system as well for packing a lot of functionality into a small space. Really looking forward to the 1.5 and 2 versions.

Out?
Alexey Vanzhula
A little bit later. Sorry guys, have some problems with testing windows version. But almost it done.
Alexey Vanzhula
Good news is that it will have Modeler tool from DM 2.0.

DM 2.0 will have Soft Boolean 2.0 (with smart normals), Insert Mesh 2.0 (with smart normals) and maybe Geometry Library 2.0
Palipala
Sounds great, thanks for the quick update infos!
