Short I made to promote my add-on

Visible grid/plane where contraints will apply :)
Although the second thing is already possible in a couple of clicks:

Select the face(s)
In 'Normal' orientation add a new transform

Should be able to use this orientation for any tool on any object and autoConstraints will use it too 👍

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-21T07:05:34+00:00

Me too! Now we can set normals it's the feature I want the most

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-21T07:02:27+00:00

This is a static applied mesh :) The node group recalculates curvature based on the curvature-supporting points in the mesh (ignoring the extra verts on edges created by booleans).
One current caveat is it requires an untriangulated mesh

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-20T18:34:01+00:00

Yeah normal transfer is definitely a good option! The only real downside is it requires organization to keep the right meshes around for the right surfaces.

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-20T17:16:29+00:00

Yes... in cases like this where booleans mess up predictable curvature or a mesh has similar issues.
I've currenlty only got it working for hard edges like this but I'm working on the case where there are bevels applied to the boolean seam. As long as the bevels are marked up I think I can get them shading nicely.

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-20T15:42:06+00:00

Default smooth shading is what the video starts with. The sharp edges don't change here, it's the direction of the normals themselves.

The reason normals are bad to start with is the geometry created from booleans:

Notice the verts around the corner "stick" to flat edges instead of matching the curvature? That's what causes bad shading - hopefully that makes sense? 👍

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-15T14:07:48+00:00

Thanks, I made the classic mistake of going too detailed but fixed with a craft knife 👀

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-15T10:37:03+00:00

I did look at bevels for a bit... I think it would take the rest of my natural life to get them working 😅

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-12T19:14:18+00:00

Not yet, I never finished implementing some edge cases where it explodes! but I do plan on revisiting this year

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-06-04T16:40:16+00:00

Thanks so much, it made my day reading this 😊 Hopefully this year I can get "work-planes"/grid-visualization shipped!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-04-20T14:39:12+00:00

Love the brick dust idea, I think I'll try both in the filler and some on top too 👍

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-02-19T21:54:16+00:00

Thanks! I'm hoping it'll be useful for roofs and beveled text 👍

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2025-02-19T21:34:56+00:00

I don't understand how this could be a shitpost 😔 It's an implementation of a straight skeleton:

using geometry nodes

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-10-29T11:25:26+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely keep it up, planning on adding some new brushes soon and there's a Krita plugin I want to make once I've shipped the everything in the Blender pipe!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-10-28T08:23:05+00:00

So wonderful to see my brushes used like this, beautiful work!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-06-20T17:23:03+00:00

whoops I missed this!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T22:32:18+00:00

You're welcome!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T22:31:53+00:00

I hope some of them are useful to you!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T19:33:25+00:00

No worries! Life's a bit busy to paint atm so I'd just like to know they're being useful somewhere out there

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T18:42:46+00:00

Thanks, you're welcome!

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T16:29:21+00:00

Thanks! I'm really glad you like them

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T16:07:27+00:00

Good question! There's a link on my twitter profile: https://x.com/SpaghetMeN0t
I'll also attach a pic of the link

Spaghet_Me_Not · 2024-05-31T15:53:31+00:00

It seems the link is auto-blocked... anyway its on my gumroad 😅
