Feature Request Thread
Raxx:
A small request: Can the color of outlined subdivision meshes (the outline of the catmull-clark mesh geometry) be changed to a medium gray, and an option to disable it in the Configure->UI dialog for the specific shading modes? The stark-black dense lines on top of the mesh I'm trying to work on get in the way of my modeling process when working with subdivision meshes, and the topo-knife tool doesn't work on subdivision mesh cages when outline is disabled.
Steve:
Sluggs: grid snap will work with control handles as well in the next drop.
Raxx: How do these look for a lighter control mesh? Would you prefer a different color? I kept the selected and picking colors the same. Also, instead of adding an option, I could make this the way it always shows, if that seems OK to you. And should I make the control cage faces a bit more transparent, especially in wireframe mode?
Raxx:
Hey Steve, sorry if I wasn't clear, it's the lines on the resultant subdivision mesh that would be better being gray and able to be disabled. In wireframe view, it shows the control mesh's lines black and the resultant subdivision mesh's lines gray, I think that gray color (or a few shades darker of the currently applied material?) should be applied to the resultant subdivision mesh's lines in all the views. I have no issues with any of the other aspects such as color, transparency or what-not of the control mesh.
It may be worth experimenting with culling out back-facing/hidden lines on the subdivision mesh, would make it a lot easier to read the resultant subdivision mesh especially if in wireframe view or with semi-transparent materials.

That would be the icing on the cake for me and Anim8or. I already love her, and now I'm going to have to marry her! :D

I agree. I think that is what I was trying to say in this awkward post a while back: http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,5035.msg37807.html#msg37807
