Updates :

• V1.12
  • - Main UI :
    - Faster and more reliable High POLY management.
    - Hide/show edges and material.
    - No locked or corrupted mesh anymore.
    - Shell Value is now saved and reloaded properly with the retopo object.
  • All tools :
    - Shift + Double click : select border edge loop.
    which makes a lot of them way faster to use in most cases.
  • Create Face :
    - CTRL can move verts edges and faces depending on the closest ones.
    - CTRL + SHIFT : Select sub-element collections.
    - CTRL + SHIFT + ALT : Deselect sub-element collections.

     

    - SHIFT + CTRL + double click : select full edge loop.
    - SHIFT + ALT : deselect border edge loop.
    - CTRL + ALT : Chamfer selected or highlighted elements.

    - Better undo on deleted faces
    - Better snap behavior and snap when loop extrude.
    - Ctrl Key : no accidental face creation when Ctrl is pressed.
    - No little quad created at world center in case of face not created.

  • Straighten Brush :
    - SHIFT : Make Circle from selection.
    - SHIFT + ALT : Rotate circle.
• V1.11
  • Bug corrections on the pie menu and shortcuts help window for 4K monitors users who experienced an offset between the mouse and the pie menu.
  • Less slowdown on very high resolution meshes with the Create Face tool.
