Good morning.
I'm trying to make a warp model.
For the particular shape of my model I have to reduce the grid and from there begin to adapt to the surface.
Okay but to work well in my opinion could be implemented some functions.

1: Select all meshes
Occasionally some stretching the grid points are brought out from the area and cleared if you can not return
2: Undo on the move
3: Moving mesh horizontal / vertical
That can move the selected meshes only vertically or horizontally depending on the choice
4: Scaling in the horizontal / vertical

It might be useful?

Thanks, Alberto

Hi Alberto,

most of your wishes already work in Warper Rev 4417 / 4569:

1: Select all meshes
--> Depending on being in FFD or Mesh Mode, pressing [CTRL+A] will select all FFD Control Points / all Mesh Points.

2: Undo on the move
--> There is no undo function. But you can remove the offset of selected Mesh Points by pressing [R].

3: Moving mesh horizontal / vertical
That can move the selected meshes only vertically or horizontally depending on the choice
--> this is only working when using the keyboard instead of the mouse - pressing arrow left/right or up/down lets the mesh move in only one direction.

4: Scaling in the horizontal / vertical
--> this can be done when you are in Move-Mode and use the mouse. Press [3] on your keyboard so you get to scale-mode. If you know select the Mesh or FFD Control Points, click the right mouse button. Moving the mouse up/down will scale in Y axis, moving it left/right will scale the selection in X axis.
By the way: pressing [2] in Move-Mode will activate the rotation, [1] lets you get back to normal Move Mode.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Julia

Perfect)

And to clear accidentally selected a mesh without losing all other selections?

Ohoh, this needs a kind of magic.....
No, sorry, you can't do it because there is no real UNDO-function.

Ok ok so that's great!

I love Pandora!

Thanks, Alberto

Excuse me if I go back on this, but I would be very easy to rotate (Key 2) and scale (key 3) including keyboard and not only mouse.
I know I'm the last to arrive but I would be more comfortable with these implementations.

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

yes, you're right, this would be nice. I'll forward this wish to our programmer.

Best regards,
Julia

In my opinion also a confirmation on pressing R (reset mesh) would be very useful

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

we are currently working on a new warper version with a lot of fancy features, including the reset-mesh-option. As there will be also a real UNDO-function, there will be no need for confirming the reset. I think it will be out in +/- one month.
As workaround to reset the whole mesh in the current version (without resetting the FFD), just change the amount of mesh segments (eg +1 and then back -1). This resets the mesh and not the FFD.

Best regards,
Julia

Ok.
Unfortunately for the work that I do not use predominantly FFD for November but I will work hard with the mesh.
I have to do is work with two projectors.

The problem is that this scene I will repeat in other theaters, so the scene may be small changes.

Since the walls are not straight I use a dense mesh for obscure parts project

About you some guidance on how to create this mesh warping?
is my first job ever with this type of projection)

I hope to have a Warping for November of the even more powerful

Many thanks for your great work.

Alberto
