Modeler 2022 for Houdini

Modeler 2022 for Houdini has been released with a redesigned plugin core and improved user experience for tablet users. Improvements include:

• Modeling tools and Houdini shelf tools are collected in the Python panel. This panel has a Favorites section for storing user scripts and shelf tools.
• When Modeler is activated, a new toolbar, called Viewbar, appears above the viewport to speed up modeling on tablets
• Modeler no longer has its own shelves
• Any Modeler Python panel button can be associated with hotkey
• The Houdini window can be made translucent for modeling on top of images from the operation system desktop
• Pen double-clicking in the viewport works naturally, as opposed to standard behaviour
• The viewport camera can be manipulated with the right mouse button
• Modeler now has only one radial menu which contains the most important direct modeling and retopology tools. In addition to hotkeys, it can be shown with the right mouse button.
• To repeat the EdgeLoop viewport state, you can click the left mouse button
• Selection tools can now modify components in the reselect mode of SOP node 
• New Group Hard Edges tool selects hard edges easily
• As part of improved work on tablet devices, empty selection is now perceived by tools as whole selection
• Removed the Drop Selection tool (Escape key). Instead, you need to use component selection modes: points, edges, and polygons.
• PolyPen has new modeling features and is better adapted for use on tablets
• Push renamed to Magnet
• New Polygons tool allows to quickly draw polygons or perform retopology.
• Extrude, Bevel, and Bridge now use standard Houdini nodes
• New Bevel Pro tool creates bevels with variable radius
• To constraint middle mouse button transformation (Grab state), you can click the left or right button while moving the mouse
• Modeler has its own VDB Remesh node and tool
• Hose has been improved
• QPrimitive node now has an input connector intended for automatic orientation and
  scaling, like standard primitive nodes
• Primitives can be created in the same geometry container
• The Fill tool rebuilds selected polygons with the new Quadrify node

• New UDIM Export node is useful for easy creation of complex UV maps
