Lost a Point is a
Cinema 4D r13/14/15 plugin dedicated to our C4Dzone users developed in order to fix some missing features of P2P modeling with Cinema 4D.
Lost a Point solves two Cinema 4D frustrating situations:
1) You can use a selected point of a points cloud, during P2P modelling, as coordinates reference in the orthogonal views and make new points at the same coordinates, this feature infact is bugged on the frontal view of R14 and is very important for P2P modelling techniques.
2) Now you can add points that lie along the axis without Zooming In or Zooming out the viewport or otherwise you have to place the points in a Zig Zag way and adjust them later on.
Thanks to Lost a Point you can easily and quickly trace your references. It works with spline and poly objects.
In order to use correctly this tool the selected object must have Axis coordinates set to (0,0,0) and shouldn’t have Rotation or Scale transformation.
Features in this new release 2.0:
The previous release of this plugin needs a frequent switch between the lost a point tool and the move tool in order to select the point for copying the coordinates.
This workflow need to be improved and this is what we have done with the 2.0 release.
Lost a Point now integrates the move and select tools inside, no more tool exchange
Also in this release we have integrated a snap guide to selected point or cursor place just pressing SHIFT key
