script formaking edges face the same direction

Ruz · Jan 2011

does such a script exist for max? I could n't find anything on script spot, but might have missed it. so yeah I want all the internal edges on a mesh to face the same direction(this improves the look of smoothing of certain types of meshes)

Don't really unerstand what you're asking, what do you mean by internal edges?

It almost seems like you're asking for this http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75753 but you're not talking about vertex normals at all, so I'm not sure.

i mean the diagnal edges of quads, which are hidden so I used the term internal:)

Ah right, can't you just use the "Turn" and "Retriangulate" buttons for Editable Poly, that switches the triangulation. Or are you looking for something that would automatically triangulate a whole mesh so that it creates proper poly strips?

yeah want to do it all at once, takes forever to do it manually. Its basically for straps/belts or similar objects. i can use 'loft' whic does what i want, but its not as intuitive as poly modelling

Guess you're Searching the -turn To poly- modifier Change the 4 into a 3 at the Limit Polygon Size and now you have the tris

but how does that make all the edges in the same direction pepp0r?
