(let's try out the video feature of patreon...)

There will be a new Media material property for each object in the next update.

the density controls the density of scattering. if it's zero, then it's as transparent as the previous glass material.

the phase controls the distribution of the scattering directions (forward, backward, or uniform).

the color controls the scattering color. you may set the object surface color to pure while, so the color is totally dependent on the scattering color.

Loving the latest updates. A few suggestions: ● Double-click on an object in the list to select all of its strokes. ● Material instancing between objects, like the auto-instancing when you duplicate an object, then optionally make a material unique.

Can we have some option to lock the camera so that we can modify the objects and render different instances? A batch render would be cool to have for Game designers. If I want to render 10 swords with slightly different variations of color or shape would be life saving and this will get adopted like crazy. One idea I had was to have at the rendering UI tab some fields on objects that we can set as variable, for example to randomise them for 10 renderings in a row. This was maybe somehow already done with the 360 export feature, but this time is fixed the camera, and only the object changes. I would kill for something like this :)

Hi. Is there a technical possibility to do: - combine the strokes into a group and use this group (folder) as a trim mask for other stroke and strokes group. - assign a stroke as a plane of symmetry for another strokes(strokes group) in the same object. - assign a stroke as a point of the object coordinate system. - combining objects into groups.

Another question. i see the old 0.1.0 version is not available to the general public anymore. Do you plan to offer it for free in the future? I ask because i was thinking to teach some beginners to model with it and make some small contest to encourage them to use it. But now I see that the old one is gone from the website. And Blender is a bit overwhelming.

I'm just browse through shortcut file and found the short key to save camera (7) and load camera(8) (not numpad) and you have 10 camera slot changing with numpad(0-9) but if we have some ui to manage that would be better

Apologies for my impatience here. Is there a chance we'll be seeing more updates soon? It's been quite a bit since this was shown, and I'm eager for the new density controls (or whatever else may be revealed.)

I've seen this asked often (and wondered it myself.) I think the answer on composite group strokes is that it would be too complicated to calculate? This program doesn't use standard modelling with polygons.

Thank you so much @ephtracy. Just a heads up: you're not tagging the posts accordingly, when I filter them by "MagicaCSG" I don't see this one for example. At first I thought 0.1.0 was the newest because of that.

Yasss! that's will be so good for smoke and other vfx stuff!

Mark Linington

Wow this is awesome!, can’t wait to try this. Wonderful work as always 🙏❤️

It looks beautiful. Is there a way to export PLY shapes merged together? I currently have the objects on separate layers to keep objects manageable. But on export it would be nice to be able to have an option to lump the entire project together as one mesh. I do miss the turntable rendering feature.

the exported mesh often contains lots of vertices. merging them together may produce GBs of files

hello there! is there any plan on exposing some tonemapping options? found it hard to get same color between color palette and viewport

Hi, it would be great if letters and numbers could be added, do you plan to add them?

I know I can drag and drop strokes into the workspace. But then they want to snap to align to other objects, which is also not what I want. Is there an easy way to add a new stroke with a default transform, unscaled, unrotated?

One more question: Does anyone know if MagicaCSG will work on a Surface Pro 9?

Marzia

I noticed there is only PBR rendering now, will you add back other rendering modes in the future?
