Ninja Topo

I've updated the Ninja Topo script on Creative Crash. This is a free script and It should be a good solution to help Retopo in Maya. Check it out and gimme some feedback.

Hi I've downloaded it,

Would like to test; but how would I use this in maya... sounds silly but never used scripts XD A step by step would be appreciated and ill note any bugs I find

Cheers

Ok,

Ive input into the MEL command line; sourced it to the custom shelf but whenever I click - it should be opening the panel and nothings loading up; any idea why?

I'm using Maya 2013.

Edit: im guessing this isnt compatible with the latest version

bk3d

in the mel window copy and paste the line below

source "C:/Ninja_Dojo/Bonus/Ninja_Topo.mel";Ninja_Topo

Just change the path to where you downloaded the script
you can then drag and drop that line into a shelf

Ok I've tried that...

source "C:\Users\D Wakelin\Downloads\Ninja\Ninja_Topo.mel";Ninja_Topo

- I get this:

source "C:\Users\D Wakelin\Downloads\Ninja\Ninja_Topo.mel";Ninja_Topo;
// Error: source "C:\Users\D Wakelin\Downloads\Ninja\Ninja_Topo.mel";Ninja_Topo; //
// Error: Line 1.59: Cannot find file "C:UsersD WakelinDownloadsNinjaNinja_Topo.mel" for source statement. //


Any Ideas

Yes you have the slashes wrong they should be "/" not "\"

David Wakelin

I tried both ways got Same result I'll retry and see what goes on

It's probably my own fault here haha

Very nice plugin tho would greatly benefit me and many others I expect

bk3d

try using this line
source "C:/Users/D Wakelin/Downloads/Ninja/Ninja_Topo.mel";Ninja_Topo;

i am not sure how mel actually handles spaces.. so your user directory could be messing things up

David Wakelin

Got it to work; - it was the spaces :O

Will test and post results accordingly.

Cheers!
