[Maya] GN Project Components To Live Surface

Gabriel Nadeau

Version 1.12:

Added new option: Edge Constraint

This option allows you to restrict the projection of each selected components to the corresponding edge direction that is closest to the current projection mode and axis.

Version 1.10:

Hello!
I just updated my script on ArtStation with the new features listed below.

• Added a small description of the script at the top of the window.
• Changed the XYZ axis checkboxes for radio buttons instead as I felt like projecting in multiple axis wasn't really needed.
• Added new camera projection mode, which will project the selected components in the direction that the current camera is facing.






Version 1.0:

Hi everyone!

I want to present you my latest script which is called GN Project Components To Live Surface.

This script acts very similar to the Conform command in Maya but with additional options that gives you the possibility to project the desired components along a specific direction.

For instance, with the pivot projection mode, you can control the direction by changing the orientation of the move tool pivot.

Also, you can project components from both polygon meshes and nurbs curves.

You will find below a snapshot of the script window and its different options as well as a couple of examples of the script in action:

The script is available on my ArtStation store: https://www.artstation.com/gabrielnadeau/store/1pVv/maya-gn-project-components-to-live-surface

Let me know your thoughts and feel free to contact me if you encounter any bug or you think that something could be improved/changed.

Cheers!

Hello,
I have your script, but an error appears when you try to use it:
"GN_ProjectComponentsToLiveSurface.py line 109: type object 'OpenMaya.MGlobal' has no attribute 'getLiveList' #"

Hello @Radmir

What version of Maya are you using?
The script should work on Maya 2019 and up.

Radmir

I use Maya 2018, but your other scripts work without problems.

Gabriel Nadeau

Unfortunately this one will not work on earlier versions. I will see if I can find a workaround when I have some time.

Thanks for the work.

But I don't can use this script. 

I think this script needs video tutorial to install and use it.

Gabriel Nadeau

Hi @AnthonyDav

The script comes with a READ-ME.txt file with instructions on how to install and use the script.
Let me know if you still have trouble with the script after reading that as I don't feel like it's worth making a video for such a simple script.

AnthonyDav

I tried to do everything as written in the READ-ME.txt file, but nothing works. I really hope you find time for a short video tutorial. That would help a lot.

Gabriel Nadeau

Hey @Radmir

Just a heads up to let you know that I updated my script on ArtStation and it should now work for Maya 2018
Let me know if you have any issue

@AnthonyDav I will see if I can make a video when I have time

AnthonyDav

Thank you!

Radmir

Thank you for update.
