I’m going to build something just for fun and as a technical exercise, and add to it every day when I get a few spare hours. I don’t know what it’s going to turn into, a robot, vehicle etc, that’s why I find shapr really fun, it can be a purely intuitive tool for just messing around. I have to improve my substance painter knowledge too so it’ll be a good test for that.

it’d be great if there was a button for turning off the black edge lines in the display, it makes it really hard for me to gauge if my indents/bevels etc are the right depth without taking the thing into another 3d program to see it shaded. I suppose when windows gets the rendering feature that will solve the problem
