Just watched your demo reel, you've got some really inspiring work there! I remember DPuppet and looking very forward to it :) You should definitely write some Rigging / Rigging GUI tutorials!

Never get low & slow & out of ideas

Unfortunatly I am having some severe HDD issues :(

so all my projects are currently on hold :(

But as soon as things get better I will work on V0.07 where the goal is to fix the new issues causes by the 2009 Navigation Cube and the other compas thing they made in the lower-left corner of the viewport...

Hello Eric,

Its there any update on the new version of this script? I have some animation classes that would greatly benefit from this. Only issue is that we are on Max 2009, soon to be 2010.

Hey ! Thanks all for your

Hey !

Thanks all for your comments, I'm happy to see that you enjoy the tool.

Don't worry, it will be improved a lot in the next versions, this BETA is meant to find the issues you just talked about :P

Since every one is asking for the eraser, I will need to do it ;)

I'm working a lot on www.DPuppet.com right now, but I will be back to DViewPaint 0.07 soon ^_^

Hi Eric, It's great. I've

Hi Eric,
It's great. I've test this script in 3dsmax 9.
I used to use 2D program to sketch, but it lack interactive with prop that will be used. Now, I find a great tool. I can sketch directly interactive with prop.
this my simple test;

some notes ;
- after some toolbar click error message come : "Runtime error: array index out of bound: 12".
- expect the 'clone frame' to hold position. The key can be copied, but it will not efficient if need longer hold position.
- and expect the eraser.

Thank you for this great tool

Yeah, it seams like they

Yeah, it seams like they changed a couple of things about the viewport. So I guess that the BETA won't support 3dsMax2009.

Be sure though that I will make DViewPaint 1.01 3dsMax2009 proof :)
