      just tried the windows build.
      the “Use 3d transform manipulator (Ctrl Space)” icon is really cute.

      makes me laugh. ^_^

      heheh that’s something that came up when adding some icons to our build, just thought “oh! the 3d manipulator icon.. why not moving this finger over here and..” :) for some people it took a while to discover.

      also the icon in “UV/Image editor” and the title is Timmy, that fella is a partner of us at the studio, he even have a website! http://timmypeludomatematico.googlepages.com and a blender version! be aware, it’s insane.

      Ok, seriously, the sources of PlumiBlender can be found here: http://repo.or.cz/w/plumiferos.git

      We still doesn’t have builds for OSX, so.. if someone is feeling like building PlumiBlender for this OS (or any other) we would appreciate it!

      Hey, I’m building a Mac OS X build, if it compiles correctly, I’ll post it tomorrow when I get to school.

      Are these changes going to be integrated back to Blender? In version 2.5 perhaps? Then, Blender will have another workflow boost, making it a more valuable option for commercial/professional usage. Very nice, indeed! :)

      Wow, this is feature rich! The key control for the sequencer does make life easier. I hope some of these features find their way to the blender trunk! Plumiferos not only produce good looking pictures, but also valuable code

      @ Aaron: that’s great, maybe you could post a link here once (if?) it becomes available….?

      The thing is that right now it looks like that I can’t finish my latest animation with the official blender due to what seems to be a render bug (black dots when using nodes and a halo spot) and I really hope that the PlumiBlender FixNode can solve the problem. (I’m also just downloading Ubuntu 7.04, but it is still not clear to me if I can get it to work on my iMac G5.)

      Here is the link to it on GraphicAll.org. It doesn’t have FFMPEG because I couldn’t get it to compile correctly, but I’ll try later today to build it with FFMPEG.

      Hmm… It looks like it’s not working under OS X 10.5 (quits at start)…? I’ll keep trying with possible newer builds…

    • Gwenouille

      Same question as Daerd !
      I hope some of these features will be included in the main trunk !

    • Felix_Kütt

      Is there an Ubuntu 64-bit .deb out there on the interwebs? Love to try it out, but I am on 64-bit on the desktop and the lappy.
