The new CookieSOP is almost imminent…

I wish a new Cookie SOP were imminent I'm afraid it isn't.

We do hope to have the new PolyBevel ready sometime soon, though. We would like not to wait until the next big Houdini release.

Good to read a new Bevel tool on the road.

A selection / create group after, will be appreciate for the workflow. (if we want extrude or delete the new polygons).

Besause now it detroy my point group.

While we're at it, I'd really love for the bevel to regain it's ability to maintain edge selection that it used to have in earlier versions of Houdini.


Ie: in Houdini 13:
-place down a box
-use the edgeloop tool
-immediately use the polybevel tool

in Houdini 15:
-place down a box
-use the edgeloop tool
-attempt to use the polybevel tool
-get sad that it doesn't respect the edge you used to have selected.

For reference, if you are confused, (as a new user is likely to be) and think that the blue highlight insinuates that the new edge loop is selected…. following the prompts to press enter can not only simply not give you a bevel, it can undo the edge loop you've placed.
