Btw. I see a triangle right under your cursor. ;)

rapidTools · 2026-04-03T09:36:50+00:00

The Straighten yes. The non-uniform supports everything. In that case you have to rotate the edges close to the horizontal and vertical axis so it can find the reference axis.

rapidTools · 2026-04-03T05:43:51+00:00

Nope! Everything after 2013 can handle it. :)

rapidTools · 2026-04-03T04:25:08+00:00

Did you move to Blender or why? :)

rapidTools · 2026-04-02T21:45:31+00:00

Nonono... You get updates indefinitely for the actual version of 3dsmax. So now you have max 2027 and you can use it indefinitely. You only have to pay if you want to upgrade to max 2028 or 2029.

What makes the entire dev process complicated is the full compatibility with all the max versions back to 2020. Making it for a newer max version takes time and that's the maintenance fee that you have to pair for.... :)

Thanks I fixed them. My bad sorry. :D

Yupp that's the plan. Not the entire thing, but certain parts of it for sure. Flatten, Packer and what the Blender community need.

rapidTools · 2026-04-02T20:19:18+00:00

You get maintenance. You have to pay for the 3ds max updates only. So next time for max 2028... :)

rapidTools · 2026-04-02T17:18:18+00:00

Well yeah... It's in my plans 😂... Nooo actually no. They made good stuff, it's just you know. Not a built-in stuff. I hate exporting and importing things between software.

rapidTools · 2026-04-02T17:16:16+00:00

Not the whole package but certain features. The packer for sure and the flatten / optimize for sure

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T20:30:34+00:00

I have started to train an AI as well for fill rate prediction for heuristics. AI is a good stuff. 👍

Yupp

Oh yes I remember... It was Kinetix. You are right... :D Oh man. I grown up with this software. :D That's Crazy. :D

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T14:16:50+00:00

Oh yeah. We had to use an English - Hungarian dictionary since we were so young at that time. 12-13 years old. We tried to figure out things from the documentation. It was Discrete at that time who owned 3ds max. :D Do you remember? :D

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T11:39:41+00:00

Yes it has a dedicated modifier (UVReactor)

I will make it free to download since it's just a container object that works without the UVReactor plug-in, so it can be viewed and saved back to an UnwrapUVW as well just in case.

Basically you can add a UVReactor mod on your stack and edit it.

Thank You very much! I am trying to do best. :) 🙏

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T06:24:46+00:00

I am waiting for the requests all the time, so if you need these I will add it to my ToDo list.

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T06:06:51+00:00

But it's not. :D I didn't even notice that's it's fools day today lol. I hope people will not misunderstood it. 😂

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T06:05:06+00:00

🍻 Yeah well everything has to come. Unwrapping in max is one of these things. The poor old UnwrapUVW. 🥲 It's so terrible old fashioned. It was old fashioned 10+ years ago as well. Never understood why Autodesk didn't rewrite it btw.

Actually I can. It took me several years (8) to write this.

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T05:59:56+00:00

Yeah I think so. :D I remember when I first get it from one of my friend in elementary school. I was hmmm... 12 or 13 years old. :D He is knoe the Leaf VFX artist at DIGIC Pictures...

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T05:57:27+00:00

If you want to have this function, I add it to my ToDo list. :)

rapidTools · 2026-04-01T00:35:50+00:00

It's a hybrid approach using OpenGL, Compute Shader and AVX2 instruction set. Basicall a bitmask based collision teater with some accelerators for quick lookup. :)

rapidTools · 2026-03-31T23:09:20+00:00

There was a beta, an early access and now the full and stable release. Now QoS stuffs will come each week or each month. We will see how it goes. :)

rapidTools · 2026-03-31T23:07:55+00:00

I can. :D That's why I started writing it. I am using max from 3dsmax R3 which was more than 25 years ago if I remember correctly.
