QuickShape v4.1 Release Notes

- 3D Mouse Support

- Hotkeys now match Blenders style in that you don't have to press and hold anymore! IE: Press 'F' once and let go to activate brush resizing by moving the mouse, and then you can either press the same hotkey to close it or press LMB

- When editing any settings holding Shift/Ctrl/Alt will slow it down/speed it up/drastically speed it up respectively. This is very useful if your scene is really big or small and the default speed isn't enough

- Isolate and Hide support

- Instanced/multi user geometry support

- Switch to the old boolean system in Ctrl D menu (if booleans are being slow, change to this!)

- Fixed depth sample and depth editing

- Improved Collection management

- New algo implemented to allow for better drawing with the lasso tool, no more geometry errors

- Option to add a point on final NGON confirmation

- Cavity/Shadow bug fixes

- Revamped Mirror and Array system, more intuitive and simple. If it starts getting slow, consider just having a mirror on the object you are cutting, and/or switching to old boolean system.

- Interactive Width! A new mode that lets you set the size of the shape in 3D after you have drawn it

- Unified N Panel with all QuickTools

- Bug Fixes and improved Alt Nav support

- K reset for metaball

QuickShape v.3.4 Release Notes

- Draw in Sculpt mode!

- Draw on Surface method added (requires remesh value to be above 0 if in Object mode)

- Voxel Remesh every shape automatically with resolution setting in Ctrl D menu

- Will automatically apply voxel remesh to shapes drawn in Sculpt Mode that match the current resolution of the object.

- Merge To Active set to 'ON' when drawing in sculpt mode will remesh AFTER the shape is joined together, thus creating one solid mesh. Merge To Active 'OFF' will keep each mesh separate, thus creating an automatic face set. Both methods can be super useful depending on the task!

- Alt + F to change the depth of shape after it's been drawn

- Option added to type in Depth in Ctrl D menu

- Option added to change Direction in Ctrl D menu

- Improvements to Rotate/Move/Scale system when editing shapes

- Resets shading mode back to whatever you had when exiting the addon

- Fix cavity/shadow bug

QuickShape Blender  Release Notes

2.90_1 v3

New Snapping system that works in combination with QuickDeform

- Select a smoothing amount and a snapping angle and use the lasso tool to draw perfectly straight lines, even in perspective!

- Hold SHIFT to temporarily draw freehand

Thickness (solidify) now supports separate (green shape)

Mirror/Array 3D Cursor System V2

- When you select one of the axes in the CTRL D menu and draw, every modifier and empty will be created and linked for you

- With Modifiers From Active (enabled by default) on, you will draw with the Mirror/Array settings from your selected object

- As soon as you draw a shape, the checkboxes will TURN OFF. The power in this method comes from the ability to have multiple setups by reactivating the checkbox and setting a new 3D cursor location, and then bounce between them for your new objects by just choosing a different selected object before drawing. Try it out!

New "Along Normal" workplane mode

New "First Click" workplane mode

- MMB to confirm NGON
