orbiting when zoomed in (touch ui) #77

Closed ReinhardC closed 6 years ago

ReinhardC commented 6 years ago

When sculpting on a tablet, a problem i'm often having is that there's no way of orbiting the view when being zoomed in (when the model is filling the whole screen). I would have to zoom out and start a drag gesture from the background area which is distracting.

Zooming and Panning works zoomed in because it requires a two finger gesture.

Can I suggest a possible solution for orbiting when zoomed in - This would be a "zoom/pan with two fingers then let go of one finger to orbit" gesture.

Sounds a little crazy but I think it would work well enough because currently this only starts a draw stroke where it is not required.

Thanks for the suggestion, note that I'm not really active anymore on sculptgl. Nevertheless the solution seemed smart and easy to implement, so I tried to do it https://github.com/stephomi/sculptgl/commit/cc6279f3fb7cb547f50990cae4657369344dd675.

You can also rotate by using 3 fingers, but it'll probably go crazy when releasing several fingers at once so I don't really advise for it.

😮 wow works exactly like I was hoping for. Thanks very much for this early chritsmas gift. With a bluetooth keyboard this so much more usable than zBrush now for basic sculpting. Great project& good time to give it some rest, seems really finished for what it is.
