Hi, you can!

Hi, I'll investigate that. Is the warping apparent on the 3d model itself or after it's been printed? If it's a printing issue, it might be warping during the printing process - I know I encountered that issue myself while printing D6es.

Yes, you can use the app for commercial purposes.

Hey, yes, there's an option to enable rounded edges. See here: https://ankhe.itch.io/dicemaker/devlog/450866/update-040-preview-5-chamferedfill...

Hey, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like the app! As per your requests, I'll try tackling them in the future, when I'll have some time to focus on the app. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hey, thanks for your email. It was a dumb bug on my part. I've fixed it in 0.4.3 - LINK

Hi! Sorry, but currently no, as I don't have a Mac myself and wouldn't be able to test it properly.

Hey, thanks! Sorry for the issue - could you send the png you have issues with over at dicemaker.app@gmail.com? I'll have a look at it then :)

Could you send me an email at dicemaker.app@gmail.com? Just ping me there so that I have your email address :) Thanks!

Hey! I made an experimental version for Linux, but I don't know how well it will run. When I'm using a virtual machine it's very slow, but I've no idea how much of that is an issue of running it via a VM. Would you be willing to check it out and let me know if it's usable?

Hey, thanks :) I fixed the issue in version 0.4.2.

Hey! I'm investigating the issue. Just to be sure that you have the same issue that I found, could you send me your file to dicemaker.app@gmail.com? Thanks!

I released it for this bugfix :) https://ankhe.itch.io/dicemaker/devlog/541670/update-041-minor-fix

Hey, thanks for sending the image! I fixed the issue you've been having in the 0.4.1 update.

Hey, sorry to hear that! Could you send me that image file over to dicemaker.app@gmail.com? I'll try to check what's what

Hi, thanks!

Sorry to hear that :/ IIRC there are 2 ways to rotate the view: one is holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse (which might be not possible with your trackpad...?), the other is holding Control (either left or right), then holding the left mouse button and moving the mouse. Do neither work for you?

Hi, thanks! Do you mean something like those? https://crystalcaste.com/crystal-d6-sets.html

Yeah, that'll be enough :)

Hey! Send me an email at dicemaker.app@gmail.com. I can't promise I'll add them though!

Hey! I'll have to look into OTFs to answer that properly, but for now I think you can search for an "OTF to TTF" converter online - here's the first search result I've got, haven't tested it personally, but it might help? https://cloudconvert.com/otf-to-ttf

Hi! No plans currently, as I don't have a mac personally and testing the app would be a huge issue.

Hi Kaldii! I've added that feature in the new 0.4.0-preview-6 version.

Hi! Thanks for the kind words :) No promises, but I'll look into that for a future release.

Hey! I've added that feature in the new 0.4.0-preview-6 version.

Hey, happy to hear that! :)

Perhaps in the future, but I haven't really had time to develop the app lately.

Hey, not currently. You'd need to import longer text as an image file (svg or png).

Hey, thanks! I've just checked, and I think what you're describing is that the center of the triangle formed by the edges of a D4 is not in the center of the image - and that is absolutely true. That triangle is centered on the image bounds-wise, so that the lower edge and the apex are at an equal distance from the lower edge of the image and the upper edge of the image respectively. This doesn't mean that the digits will be off-center in the actual die face geometry.

Hey, I added the shape in the latest update! :)

Hey, thanks! Could you send me the SVGs you're having problems with? I might be able to diagnose the issue if I have some concrete examples...

Hey, send me the stl with the shape you have in mind and I'll see what I can do. The app doesn't allow for imports of external stls, but I might be able to program in the shape.

Thanks so much for the kind words, it makes my day each time :)

Hey, more corner options (rounded/truncated edges/corners) are the next thing I want to work on, but I've little time to work on the app right now. I'm not sure when I'll be able to add these features.

Not anytime soon, sorry! Maybe later in the future.

Thanks Kathryn! I've uploaded a new version (preview-3), I think this issue shouldn't occur anymore. The fix right now is quite hacky (I've explained it in a comment above), I'll try revisiting it in the future.

Thanks again! I think I managed to bypass the issue. Fin supports are generated for each edge separately, so there's some overlapping geometry. It appears that Chitubox had some issues with too many coplanar triangles overlapping at the same time. I've added some tiny amount of noise to fin base positions, just to move the triangles enough so that Chitubox doesn't break when slicing the dice. Rotating the dice (like by 1 degree) in fin support settings prior to export seems to fix the problem as well.

I'll try fixing the issue properly (that is, generating continous geometry instead of overlapping per-edge fins) when I'll have some more time to do so, this is all I could do right now :x

Hey, thanks!

Yes there is - first go to Face Templates (left panel), pick any image slot ("S1" through to "S5" are meant to be used for custom reocurring images like these though), set up your image there. Then, in order to use it, click on the target dice face, select "Pick Template" (under Load Image / Custom Text buttons, right panel), select the previously set up face template. :)

Yes please! That will definitely make fixing it easier :) Just send them over to dicemaker.app@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for letting me know! I'll have a look over the weekend. I've not seen this issue previously.

Hey! Right now you'd have to use some external program to create a SVG/PNG with the exact text.

Hey! Click on the "Edit" button under "Generate fin supports" checkbox - a rotate gizmo should show up, you can edit the orientation using it or either by writing specific angles for X/Y/Z axes in the corresponding input fields.

Fixed both of these in 0.4.0-preview-2, thanks again!
