@blanchsb Like a goober I have NOT tried E-Cycles. I absolutely should have for this project! Seems like a brilliant tool. Admittedly I don’t know any colleagues that have used it though. Just high praise on twitter.
I should preface that being a teacher makes me very hesitant to user 3rd party tools (free and especially paid). It muddies the water when teaching to not use stock blender (hard lesson I learned years back) and I don’t want to get hooked on a good tool I can’t use when recording. Like retopoflow. It’s one of the best retopology tools in 3D (not just Blender) and developed in-house and I don’t use it at all because it would be so hard to go back to stock tools afterward lol.
@louhikarme Thanks! We missed you on this project. You think you’ll be available in April for the next collab?
