Text tool Curvy 3D needs a tool to create editable text. Auto-remesh region after change Some sculpting operations (like Drag and Add) may lead to a heavily distorted mesh with poor and jagged geometry. My idea is to introduce a kind of auto-remeshing operation which re-draws the changed part of th...

Tool end cap variations Now, tool ends can be flat or open. Let’s introduce some flexibility here: it should be possible to cap tool ends in different shapes (open, flat, buldged, sphere, custom based on a curve profile and so on). https://i.imgur.com/BfPk7Mj.jpg World axis widget A little widget i...

Shortcuts for different views It would be nice to call different views with shortcuts (based on the numpad would be nice). Let's say "5" for 3D/perspective, "8" for top ortho view, "2" for bottom ortho view", "4" and "6" for left/right view respectively. No need to switch to a four views layout any...

In-line editing of text fields https://i.imgur.com/ysxDYvq.gif Little change, but great benefit. Being able to edit text in, well, text fields means better access to the interface and makes it possible to enter exact or round values quickly without fiddling with the sliders. Drag to edit text field...

Do you already have an estimated date when you want to release the beta to the public? Is it like weeks, months...?

Also got to get rid of the 2nd grid - it works while you are rotating, but doesn't help when the view is still. This reminds me of modo's workplane. Works exactly that way. Good idea. I'm interested to experiment with the default model shader and background colour - I'm used to a black background a...

A quick mock-up of how the next Curvy 3D might look like. Please consider the semi-transparent panels. Makes it possible to see through your model (= viewport/working area feels much larger). The panels can be moved and dragged when the pin is opened.

Hello Simon, a question regarding the upcoming SVG functionality: will it be possible to drag & drop or to copy/paste a SVG curve from an illustration program (let's say Inkscape) to Curvy 3D? Loading from a file through the menu would be ok, too, but also a bit cumbersome.

This is actually amazing! Don't believe it, but I already wanted to propose a new "Cut Off" brush. This is a super method to produce hard surface objects.

Icons without letters This proposal can be seen as an UI improvement idea. The first time I started Curvy 3D the icons with letters in them confused me a bit as I thought it would mean their shortcut. My proposal here is to get rid of the letters and instead change the icons a bit. For example, the...

This looks already much better, Simon. Great improvement.

So, here are my first ideas: Much more curve types: line, polyline, arc, bezier/spline curves, rectangle, circle, polygon I think this is a must for every "drawing software". Now there is only a freehand drawing mode in Curvy 3D. Though you can already straigthen drawn curves with the ruler tool it'...

Curvy 3D 4.0 is going to be awesome.

This tool looks VERY promising.

Hello,

I'd like to use this thread to collect my ideas for new functions in the next major release of Curvy 3D. I love to use Curvy 3D, but I think there is always room for improvements as it is with everything. And I have a lot of ideas. Maybe some proposals will be realized.
