#65 Modeller 3D plug-in

[Dorin Vatavu]

While some people are busy with serious stuff, I’m continuing with the YAUP series.
This is the first version of the Modeller 3D plugin.
The name sounds more impressive than it actually is.
It’s a pale imitation of Blender and ArtOfIllusion.
WARNING: It’s full of bugs. Use with caution.

A new version (1.1) of the Modeller plugin.
-I've changed how you navigate, select, and edit using the mouse.
-I've tried to improve the texturing.
-I've improved the "Undo/Redo" functionality, including Ctrl+Z.
-I've probably introduced a lot of other bugs, so please be careful when using it.

Modeller3D version 1.2
Here are some news in this version:

• Improved movement around the object. Now it can be seen even from bottom.
• Improved Undo/Redo functionality when using the Ctrl+Z (Undo) and Ctrl+Y (Redo) keys
• Improved the movement of the selection using the right mouse button. It now follows the direction of the axes.
• Change the selection color to red for all selected items.
• Added floor grids and 3D axes similar to those in Blender. I set their orientation to the natural mode (Z vertical). This might confuse some people.
• Fixed how it works in full-screen mode.
• Fixed the flickering that occurred when selecting with the rectangle tool.
• Added Select All button (Ctrl+A) to select all points/edges/faces at once.
• Improved calculations and appearance (texture) of the torus and partial torus (bent cylinder).
• Added translations for 17 languages. AI help and a lot of manual work on my part.

Thanks for this plugin! It's handy for when you just need a simple shape for some architectural or constructional element. However, maybe can you explain why the surface looks like it has a colour gradient over it? For me it makes it difficult to see the edges. For example, the simple "Box" object in the main Sweet Home 3D collection looks just like a standard wall. But the object from Modeller 3D looks like it has a gradient of some kind. Changing the surface to a solid colour or a pattern does not help.
