hey gang

here is my contribution to the wave of custom tools coming out for softimage. the source and the pre compiled plugin are hosted here... https://github.com/caron/TapeMeasure

direct link to the download is here... https://github.com/downloads/caron/TapeMeasure/TapeMeasure_0.4_beta.rar

other wise just click the 'Downloads' button on the github page. the current version is beta, i have a few more things that i want to address before i call it done, but it is useful at its current state.

feedback is welcome here or on the github "issues" page.

ya! who's next?

here are some ideas i have...

GreasePencil
LightFalloff tool for point lights? should be standard i know...
Protractor, to compliment my TapeMeasure tool
RotateSnap, similar to modo's ability to snap rotations
ProportionalTransform, like maya's soft transform in object mode
SketchExtrusion/Retopo tools a la www.bsurfaces.info, silo, topogun
Vue like tools, brush based sculpting of terrain

I'm not familiar with Modo, so how would this be different from Shift+C in Softimage?
