Procedural Edge Loop Grow May 17, 2025, 5:41 p.m.

Hello, GroupFindPath has options for extending edge groups into loops and rings. Have a look!

Cheers,

Karma Refraction Black Faces on thin Material July 15, 2024, 2:02 p.m.

I believe enabling 'thin walled' under the 'Geometry' tab of the MTLX standard surface or on the Quick Surface LOP would be the fix for 'thin' refractive objects. Not sure if that is what you're looking for though.

How do you like the new MMB Pane in 20.5? The UI? July 11, 2024, 1:16 p.m.

Is there a way to quickly change how the visualizer works?

For example, when you check the visualizer of an integer attribute from the info window, the visualizer assigns a random color to each unique integer by default.

I'd like to change it to "mark", in other words, just showing the integer itself as text.

I know I can click the edit button here:

But it's quite weird that while we can toggle the visualizer from info window, if we'd like to change it we need to find the edit button at an entirely different place... it feels like the old info window got a pretty face but its functionality is as ugly as before.

You can CTRL click on the visualizer toggle to bring up the visualizer customization options. This existed in the previous MMB info window as well.
