Sooooooo, been a while since my last post…

And yes done with first semester of college… also started the second… and it has been a while since that but i didn’t get a chance to add a new post…

Last post was about the RappaTools UI experiment… but there has been done some progress since then…

Some Old videos…

Vimeo Version

Vimeo Version

And the one i just made

Vimeo Version

SplineBridge it’s not finished though but it’s something that i wanted for a long time… will work more on that when i get some more free time from college since again i have to do a lot of stuff…

Like i said in the video description RappaTools3 it’s available for pre-purchase, if you’re interested contact me… ( rappybmx [at] gmail.com )

RappaTools2 it’s still free and will be free… It can be download from http://remusjuncu.com/rappatools/RappaTools2.mzp ( it also has a box menu like version 3 )…
( The Box Menu it’s based on Hot-Box. )

Also i might post rappatools v1.92 source code… not now though…

Working on a new interface, also new features, this is just an idea… but the final version might be pretty similar to this one.

First i have to write the new core then the interface.

After i finish my first college semester i’m going to start working on the new version, until then i’ll have to put this aside…

If you like, don’t like, have a suggestion, let me know.

My Wacom Bamboo Switcher… done in AutoHotKey ( http://www.autohotkey.com/ ).

Another little custom application… Since the Wacom drivers do not have Monitor Switch option enabled for the Bamboo tablet i had to make a custom app to have that option o_O

(made my own since the ones on the web do not work with the new driver)

Going to make a new Category… I like it Customized!… this is the first post…
( Since i like custom stuff… here’s my first custom thing… )

My ScreenShooter… done in AutoHotKey ( http://www.autohotkey.com/ )

When you open the “program”, it will create a new folder where it saves the images ( 1,2,3… )… every time you open it, it will create a new folder…
If you don’t take any screen-shoots the folder will be deleted when you close it…

Shortcuts:
Pause = PrintScreen
alt + Pause = WindowPrintScreen
ctrl + shift + space bar = Enter
CapsLock = BackSpace
ctrl + CapsLock = Mute
ctrl + Up Arrow = Volume Up
ctrl + Down Arrow = Volume Down

And yes CapsLock it’s BackSpace, same for ctrl + shift + space it’s enter… i know i’m lazy… but i really find CapsLock useful as Backspace especially when i’m coding RappaTools ( the maxscript ) and even when i’m doing other things… like writing stuff and so on…

+ when you’re typing something with you’re left hand and you have the other hand on the mouse, to hit backspace it’s uncomfortable, and this way it’s less easier and a lost faster

Also it’s really annoying for me when i’m on another pc besides mine… i press CapsLock too many times then i go… damn, not my pc

If you’re interested in this little program contact me and i’ll send it to you.
