Smooth Edges Maxscript

obliviboy

Smooth Edges is the first and only 3DS Max script that gives you the freedom and control to shape your models the way you want.

Here are some of the benefits you get:

•Never again be forced to move vertices one be one
•Create smooth curves and surfaces
•Have greater control over your mesh
•Model at lighting speed
•Align edges from different meshes to another
•Model at greater precision

Damn it, if only you'd showed this off a couple weeks ago. I had a model I could've used this on more than anything.


EDIT: Whoooooa. This is great, but I don't think it's €20 great. Guess I'll stick with snapping to shapes.

Can this be used in conjunction with Soft Selection?

No it can't, but may be a feature I may implement in the future.

Could such a spline be used to deform an arbitrary mesh ? That is to say, using a spline not coming from the edge flow of the object to be deformed (been dreaming about that for years!!)

That's really slick man, nice work!

Thanks. I appreciate it.

No you can't.
A solution to your problem might be skinning your mesh to some bones then trying to deform it.

The first words popped into mind were tangent arc. Wth?

Looks brilliant at any rate!

Very cool idea.

thanks for sharing this! it's a shame that 3ds max hasn't such tools build in as standard stuff. like so much others

Or skin it to a spline?

This would have saved me so much time in vehicle modeling... Made a stealth plane a while back, and this would have been perfect for the curves on that thing. I do believe you officially win, obliviboy.

Vailias

outstanding. This could cut a step out of my workflow on occasion..seeing as I love this specific feature about patches.

Thanks again, hope it will help you guy with modeling.

Is there something similar for Maya? Script or workflow?
