Octopus - Pie / Radial Menu for 3dsmax

pi3c3 · May 2018

HI ALL GUYS

I would like to show you my newest plugin for 3dsmax. It is called Octopus a radial menu which is pretty easy to customize. It has really cool features, which will come in handy in your everyday work. I'm constantly developing it and fixing the issues that the users has found. About the features you can check my website over here: https://rapidmxs.com/octopus/

Change Log:

Now Octopus is backward compatible back to 3ds max 2012. It has a dedicated installer. From 3ds max 2013 you can use the default installer
Quick fix in action names

Although I mostly use hotkeys, I have to say that this looks really great. Nice work on the design. I'm surprised there's not more reaction. I suppose a lot of people using Max already use the quad menus so might not be that interested.

Octopus can do even more things than you have seen in these two videos. I'll show you other things as well, why and how it differs from the original Quad menu. I just have to say one thing. The buttons of Octopus has proper orientations (up, down, left right etc...), which is really a good thing and it has advantages.

Almost a year has passed from the release of Octopus and here is a bunch of gif animations showing you, what you can do with it. The list is not full at all just the fraction of the thing which you can do with it. Most of the menus are using a Hold and Release behavior. This means the menu is active only when you hold down the hotkey you assigned to it.

Modifiers:

Quick Snap menu using the preview/instant functionality:

Spinner modes (Horizontal / Vertical mouse move and wheel changes different parameters)

Axis uses screen space orientation converter which convert your screen space to world space.
This way you don't have to watch your world space orientation

Revolve clone also uses the same technique

Simple spinner again using stepped parameters changing on vertical axis.

Preview / Instant functionality combined with Auto Smooth

And much more
