Can you FogBugz this also Erik.

[Kuzey]

Erik...don't forget this one (fix/update/change) :P

[erikals]

ok, will FogBugz it...

(not right now though, took me hours just to make the list) \:O

[djwaterman]

This is where the Fogbugz falls down. Erikals details all these points with direct visual audio communication, as if sitting there showing the coders what isn't working, and then he's required to sit down and write it all up in words that can be misinterpreted. I think he's done enough, it takes a lot of time to record these examples. There needs to be an alternative option to communicate this feedback to the development team, I really think these videos are the best most direct method of communication in some cases. Can he just link to the videos in a Fogbugz report, I dunno?

[Ryan Roye]

I wouldn't think he'd need to do much more than write a 1-2 sentence summary of what the videos are explaining, paste the links, and the devs end up with a proper "report" in a centralized location that is easier to readily access than these forums. At least, that's what I think is the mindset of devs is when they ask people to fogbugz feature requests if they have good and detailed input to provide like Erikals often does.

If he can put up the links in a report then that should be fine.

re tube speed:

over in 3dsmax for a comparison:

[spherical]

If he can put up the links in a report then that should be fine.

I've referenced and linked entire threads in the 9.x Beta forum during that program, sometimes adding a query string to direct the devs to a more pertinent sections of them, so they don't waste a bunch of time slogging through a whole thread.

having made this list, still BIG thank you for solving these past challenges >

Can´t tell for sure, but the dev team has stated how inspirational erikals clips has been for them, and probably helpful for the development, so I think they indeed have an eye on what he put´s up...at least several of the guys should have a prescription on his youtube channel to make sure not to miss it.

erikals...I don´t quite follow what you mean in the fix the tweak tool and points, with the tweak tool you can just as with polyselection pick a point and hold shift and move it in the normal direction, so
Im not clear on what you mean on that?

Regarding enhancements to it..
Faster initialization of the tool...a bit too slow I think.
I think the tweak tool should have a boost since it is limited by selecting only one polygon or point, shortcut control shift or alt maybe that allows for multiselect of polygons and move and also extend faces would mean a lot for a much better workflow.

yes / no

it moves in the normal, but i want it to slide on the edge and stretch on the edge
these explain it better >

StretchPoint > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zozJ7trpEUg
WedgeSlide > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzr7uUHC0xs

snapping would also be welcome for both of these, and the transform tool as well i guess

[erikals]

tested an AHK script to get rid of junk geometry, might give LW programers an idea... >
