      They are some really awesome new features! I love the snap to face mode, which I’ve always wished for from many years ago!

      Awesome.

      Snap to face… I love it! Keep up the great work, guys! It’s always fun and exciting to see what these projects bring to Blender.

      It’s interesting to see that so many of the new Blender developments instigated by Apricot are so valuable even in non-game-engine projects. Things like face snapping are brilliant, but I’m always happy to see more subtle usability improvements like the direct library browsing, and the enhancement to baking.

      Great stuff coders. Keep up the good work. We appreciate your efforts.

      That is some funky stuff. Toys i will drool at but likely rarely use, will be very useful to many people i think.

      Snap to face according to normal orientation = a really really really good feature for a lot of stuff to do in Blender. Contgratz to developpers.

      Snap to face is Awesome. Didnt see this one in the normal SVN checkout though, or am I missing something here?

    • ArtIsLight

      excellent vid. I hope the “snap to” angle feature will be available in future builds of Blender.

    • Gradir

      As has been said, these things can be very handy not only in game engine! Gratz!

    • blendmaster

      Yeah great stuff happening there !

      Hope to see more about normal map editing stuff though.

      Great work! face snap looks impressive… I hope it will be more precise than now about the “point to snap from”…
      In the demo it looks easy but the user always uses the center point of the object to snap from.

      nice,
      snap to face rocks!

    • claas

      I was waiting and asking so long for good snapping tools in Blender. And now every new version brings more and better snapping features now. Snap to face will make a lot of work easier and faster!

      Great stuff, Campbell! Doin’ us proud!

    • Help Please

      These tools are awesome, and I can’t wait to try them out, but I can’t find the Apricot branch binaries anywhere. A little help guys? I spent 30 minutes trying to find it, without luck.
