Mirror Morph Targets + 1 MaxScripts

monster

So I finally updated my scripts page. I made it blog format for easy updating. And with the page I present to you a new handy script.
Mirror Morphs on X


This handy script will Mirror Morph targets on the X axis. If you use Z-brush you can use it to quickly edit your base object in Max, mirror the changes and re-import the tool. EPoly only, because I am an elitest (You guys stay on topic). Save the MCR file the the MacroScripts folder, restart Max, and look in the "monsterBlues" category.

Instructions for use:

1. Select a symmetrical model. (The model doesn't need to be entirely symmetrical, only the parts you intend to mirror.)
2. Adjust the threshold or leave the default. I don't recommend high numbers.
3. Hit the Initialize button and wait for it to process.
4. Once processed you may close the window. The data was saved to a temp file in your Windows temp directory.
5. When your ready, reopen the menu, select some verts that you modified, and hit the Mirror button and wait a few seconds.

ALSO...

I have a little script that cycles the nurm iterations level between 0, 1, and 2. You can find it about halfway down this page.

Thanks guys, I see more uses for this tool than just morph targets. Like if your model is already skinned and want to tweak some of the vertices, instead of having to tweak both sides at the same time you can just use this. Or if you want to reset just a few vertices on a morph target you edited, select the unmoved verts and it will reset the edited ones.

I forgot to mention, report bugs to the comments for each script on the blog.

Awesome, you're still the best. I'm so glad I saved your life with the Heimlich maneuver.

way cool man! right now i use the mirror morph made by whahoony http://www.wahooney.net/ its pretty cool and seems to be similar in functionality but i will still give yours a try. before that i would use skinwrap to do this. using a base mesh skinwrapped to mirrored version with a morpher applied, morph to the target i wanted mirrored and collapsed the stack on base mesh. these mirroring scripts save so much effort. thanks dude!
