Title: Composite Tool Exchange
Post by: Vaquero on May 15, 2013, 01:15:03 pm

Hi there!
There's a new big player in Tool-Town by the name of Composite Tool. This editor let's you string together tools to automate processes you may often use or find helpful. I am excited and curious about what we can come up with as a community with that addition to NVil for even more customization.
Let's share our composite tools, so everyone might benefit from your individual creativity!

I did just create my first composite tool to make a primitive I always create for testing new stuff: The Quadball

I'm trying to set up a composite tool to set the pivot location. Previously I had it set up with a streamline tool, but this way I'd also be able to add it to a radial menu. Any idea why this works in the streamline tool but not the composite?

This must be a bug. I tried and can't get it to work either.

It should work now.

Title: Soccer Ball

A while back there was this soccer ball thread (http://voidworld.cmcproductions.co.uk/index.php/topic,1038.0.html) and I just wanted to demonstrate, that the modelling is totally possible with the Composite Tool Editor.

This soccer ball may not be correct, and you probably wouldn't use it that often, but it demonstrates the capabilities of the composite tool.
