Manipulator !

[Ellement]

Hello , i Have a little feature which will make my(our) life easier.

PLZ make the transform handle and rotation handle and the scale handle HIGHLIGHT when mouse is over it. Happens that i click the transform handle and it deselect it and i have to select it again , but it is not easy as i have plenty other assets in the scene. Plz could you make it highlight when mouse cursor is over?


I know you are clever , but here is example so no more question will be asked :0)

Traslate manipulator Z will highlight when your mouse is over it. The same Y and X.
The same for rotation and scale. Plz?

Here is video haha , i always record video

and also i forgot , i would like to see the the radius of the light , not only the light bulb plz. ?

thanks for the request Ellement,
For the highlighting gizmo, i will see if we can sort this out for the next release, as i think it is a good feature to have.

As for the enhanced gizmo and lights like UDK, we have always had a plan on improving the gizmos and lights, but we needed an engine first before we could go over things and polish them.

We have always liked the second life gizmo, which also worked in 3 modes for position, rotation and scale.
but i do like the way UDK uses its rotate tool.

Here is an image:


But having everything on the same gizmo means no extra button presses to change mode, which makes less work, instead of constantly having to press a button to change gizmo mode.

We will have a think on the best way to make a more usable gizmo.
On a sidenote, we had a post awhile ago, and i think we mentioned that we could setup two types of gizmo, all in one or individual gizmo's to suit all users needs.

you can make shortcuts as in Blender. Hold S to scale, R - rotate, G - moving. I like Blender, because hotkeys reduce development time.
