Great tutorial. But is there a way to move,rotate, etc without having to pull up the right click menu?

Tweak-mode lets you move vertices/edges/faces without having to go through right click. But from what I recall, it's like the move-free command only.

Personally, I like the right-click aspect though. Selection and then a command that affects the selection. In other apps that don't do that, I find more often than not that I end up grabbing the wrong geometry. For instance, Carrara has manipulation handles, but more often than not I inadvertently grab other objects and that makes working slower.

I didn't make Wings, I'm just showing it as an enthusiast myself. But yeah, it's a great program!

Glad to see wings is still being developed. Your UVing features are some of the easiest and most useful I've ever seen.

Thanks for posting this.
