I apologize for the plug-ins not having been enclosed by ROKURO Pro 2.0.
If you can't find plug-ins in the downloaded zip file, please download it once again.
TATARA for win32 4.0.81 (12/31/08)
This Program makes Sculpted Prim texture .tga file. To make Sculpted Prim, this program has 7 modes and can preview it.
TATARA mainly has the following functions.
1) It has a preview function more exact than ROKURO Pro.
2) It can be edited for every section of an object.
3) It can make 4 kinds of PRIM_TYPE and 7 aspect ratio types of sculpted prim.
4) It can output an OBJ file with a texture.
5) It can exchange OBJ file to Blender. etc.
6) It has a simple function which draws a texture.
7) It has the function to shorten edit time, such as a flip.
The mainly improved functionality is as follows.
-The function to treat the aspect ratio of a map file was added.
-You can use MAGE mode by Torus.
-The function to adjust the level by smoothing by Gauss was added.
-The edit function when choosing two or more control points was strengthened.
You can rotate, expand and reduce arrangement of a control point, or can distort.
-The lock function of the control point was added.
Because TATARA draws using OpenGL, it is stabilized like SecondLife and it operates.
In order to check an operation, the trial employment period for three days was prepared. Please try it.
PenWorks Desktop "PenWorks Desktop" let you draw on your desktop screen by tablet or mouse.
PenWorks WhiteBoard "PenWorks WhiteBoard" let you draw on picture and video by tablet or mouse. You can
draw JPEG/PNG/BMP files. And you can draw almost all AVI/MPEG/WMV files which media player can play.
SOMATO for win32 2.0.12 (12/15/08)
SOMATO will project a flat picture onto your sculpted prim and OBJ File, and display it as the texture of your sculpted prim and OBJ File.
You can specify the strength of light, either Ambient or Diffuse.
And it can add the sculptured prim's natural shadow to the texture.
If you have avater OBJ file and you can divide the OBJ file of an avator for every texture, You can make the texture of skin or clothes simply.
ObjCut for SOMATO for win32 1.0.1 (12/29/08)
ObjCut divides OBJ File by material in order to make the texture of OBJ File by SOMATO.
ROKURO Pro for win32 2.0.47(12/18/08)
This Program makes Sculpted Prim texture .tga file. To make Sculpted Prim, this program has 4 mode and can preview it.
ROKURO Pro mainly has the following functions.
1) It can integrate and use almost all the feature of ROKURO and TOKOROTEN.
2) With a Bitmap tab, you can edit the location of all the control points of scalpted prim.
3) With a new MAGE tab, you can create the body of revolution at which the rotational center bent. So, you can make a wind instrument, an accessory, a neon sign, etc. easily.
4) It can output an .OBJ file. Other 3D editing tools can use outputted .OBJ file.
5) It can use the PSD file of Photoshop as a texture. 3D object can be previewed by a polygon. It is not NURBS.
6) You drag a mouse and can rotate previewed 3D object. If you turn a mouse wheel, the zoom of it is carried out.
The following functionalities were added by 2.0.
-The function to specify the aspect ratio of a map file with a File-New menu
-The plug-in function (Polygon plug-in and stairs plug-in)
-The function to read VU map file which Blender outputted
-Start From Vertex to the Shape menu.
*The fault which cannot read an OBJ file was corrected.
Because ROKURO Pro draws using OpenGL, it is stabilized like SecondLife and it operates.
ROKURO Pro works on Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac. And it also works on VMware Fusion. Thank you Caolila Inglis!
In order to check an operation, the trial employment period for three days was prepared. Please try it.
KANAE PROJECT Road map
I wrote here about the road map of my tool. I will do major update of TATARA and the SOMATO following ROKURO Pro. Please check it.
NOMI is the software which simply makes sculpted prim of relief from one picture using the brightness of it. A preview can be checked before uploading to SL.
From the original picture, the software outputs a sculpted prim picture and a texture picture.
Moreover, better relief can be achieved if the desired height information is added and processed.
A user moves a control point, can smooth the surface of relief or can make the relief which is not a square.
ROKURO(lathe) for win32 1.04(05/02/08)
This Program makes Sculpted Prim texture .tga file of a solid of revolution for Secondlife.
Stephen Zenith says,"Rokuro(lathe) for win works on Linux too, using wine." Thank you, Stephen Zenith!
(I will update Readme further in the near future. )
TOKOROTEN(extruder) for win32 1.07(08/14/07)
This Program makes Sculpted Prim texture .tga file of the pushed-out object.
Stephen Zenith says,"I've just tried it using Wine on Linux, and it seems to work perfectly, just like Rokuro does."
Thank you, Stephen Zenith!
