3DS Max 2011 / Chuggnuts UV Unwrap tools

shinobix

Hey Guys,
I've just started to use Max2011, and I'm trying to get chuggnuts UV Unwrap tools working with this version.

I've been trying to find something that will work. I found this site:
http://fearthedevil.com/words/?p=117

Which has version 1.6 which is compatible with 2010, but I've been using ver 1.5 for so long which gets rid of the selection boxes at the bottom of the unwrap screen. And this new update doesn't seem to work at all. I get the following error when I open up my uvs for edit:

Image I/O Error:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\UI\icons\UVtools_24i.bmp

The file has been copied to that location, and well, I'm not sure what's going on.

Any help would be great! Or a link to Version 1.5 Chuggnuts site is down / no longer available...

Thanks guys!

You're taking the stability of 3dsmax into your own hands... Also it's rumored that there is a sizable update to the unwrap tools in the next version of 3dsmax that will render chuggnuts UV tools more than likely un-updateable. So you're probably better off using the bits and pieces they already took from the tool and stuffed in max 4-5 years ago.

If there is anything specific that Chuggnuts does that you can't do in regular max you should probably make a specific request or hunt around scriptspot.com because its probably already been included in max or a script has been created.

Thanks Mark,
I'll look into those. As for my issue I was having, in the script itself, it was calling for a .bmp file, but the file provided was a .tga
I converted it, and it seems to work fine now

That new interface looks pretty sweet.
