General Brainstorm: New direction for wings3D
So I am here to share some observations and an idea for a longer term development strategy (really just an suggestion, I am an artist not an coder).
Even though there have been many recent updates and smaller improvements I feel Wings3D has reached the point that it does what it was meant to do when it was originally started, e.g. it is an really good box modelling application with an intuitive interface and many useful tools. Due to this the development has recently slowed down to a steady trickle of only smaller improvements and a bit of a "what now?" mentality of the developers it seems.
I think it is also generally understood that making Wings3D more complex by trying to evolve it in a full 3D suite (like Maya etc) and adding animation tools and such, is both against what Wings3D really stands for...
Wings Won't Start on Laptop
---------------------------------------------------
Wings works great on my desktop so I thought I would try to run it on my old HP Pavilion laptop. Erlang window starts, but the Wings window will only flash on the taskbar and them immediately shuts disappears.
Erlang window reports:

STL file import problem
I have tried to import in wings3d .stl files which I had made in 123D application, but the import was unsuccessful, the result was an empty scene (The stl file included only a simple box). But Blender imported these stl files successfully.
Then I made in Blender an stl file, and this file could be imported in Wings3d.
I think that the problem is between 123D app and Wings3d.
Can you help me to solve the problem?
Thanks.

Can't select faces
Hi guys, I have been using W3D for ages and never had a problem with selecting faces. Now that I am running Windows 7 instead of Vista, I can't select faces anymore.
Please help.
Thanks,

Bone structur, rigg models..
UV parts align
From the various UV mappers out there, I found the Wings' one the most simple and straight on for what I need (non-organic).
One thing only I'm missing: how to align an element to another or to horizontal / vertical. This simple thing would make Wings the perfect UV mapper for me. Can anybody tell me a way to get things aligned?
Wings3d 1.41 Crash On StartUP(SOLVED add replies)
Hi,
WinXP Pro, already run previous Wings3d 0.98, Blender3d 2.49 and 2.5a, have Python 2.5, Directx, all kinds of stuff
I already re-started the comp still the same, also googled to death, no fix that I see.
I just downloaded and installed Wings3d 1.41 today from the wings download.
Installed it, went to run it and got a dump file shourtcut, can't read dump but got the
Erlang Console and this all that was in it:
(no error logger present) error: "Error in process <0.2.0> with exit value: {badarg,[{erlang,binary_to_term,[<<2 bytes>>]},{init,get_boot,1},{init,get_boot,2},{init,do_boot,3}]}\n"
{"init terminating in do_boot",{badarg,[{erlang,binary_to_term,[<<2 bytes>>]},{init,get_boot,1},{init,get_boot,2},{init,do_boot,3}]}}
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump

Abnormal termination
Thanks if...

Marketplace for Wings3D
what is happening?
Wings3d from usb memory
I have a problem
(I apologize for my Italian is not my mother tongue)
I recently installed: Wings3D, and I encountered a problem ...
My operating system is:
Windows 7 x64
Basically, I always select the same face
Development?
As a wings user, I keep tabs on the site to see what upcoming features I can look forward to and get new versions as they come out. Since shortly after 1.4.1 came out, everything seems to have ground to a halt. I know, though, that often times work can continue at a low level behind the scenes on projects such as this, without being visible, so I wonder if this is the case? Are there future releases in the pipes, or is development stalled for the forseable future? That would be a shame, especially considering there were some snapshot releases after 1.4.1 that carried significant improvements, such as vastly improved proxy mode. I know I use 1.4.1.1.36.g53af2 instead of the 1.4.1 release for that reason.
I guess I'm just trying to get a handle on the state of the project, and would appreciate any insight.
Moderator List ...
I hope someone will step up an fill what looks like a big void. Let's not leave the forum to the wolves and other predators. PuzzledPaul had indicated he might "retire". If this is the case ... someone will need to step it up a bit. Perhaps the role can be shared ... but still need someone who comes by close to DAILY to perform simple pruning and topic moves, etc, the basic help.
Thanks for 10 years of service Paul.
Highlight of face selected and under mouse
This occurs with windows XP, and all versions of wings3D since 1.1.3.
I have seen this in several forums with always the same answer: update your driver. I have updated drivers so it is not an answer.
This problem appeared more than one year ago, and I had it with 2 different PC (DELL)
On my current machine, I made tests with many different version in order to found when the problem appeared.
With the version 1.1.2 and before, it works fine.
With the version 1.1.3, the problem appears for faces, but also for edges and vertices.
From 1.1.4, the problem occurs only with faces.
The problem is the following: when you try to select a face (or a dot or an edge with 1.1.3), the face is not highlighted when you pass the mouse over it. Instead, it is always the same face which is highlighted. (at the...
