Hi Butthair and ThrottleKitty. Thanks for the reply. My excuses. Let me explain....I have customized maya to mimic the way I work in 3dsmax. Working in max for me it's like playing piano.. I have developed muscle memory and I can't get rid of it. This is how I've set up my hotkeys in Max. Hotkey 1 = vertex ((selects the…
when people say they hide the LP mesh for the MR bakes, what they usually mean is they are hiding the faces in the sub object level, not hiding the object itself. Go into editable poly> face selection> edit geometry> hide selection. I seem to recall having to use face selection and not element selection, or it could be…
Ok worked this out in case its useful to anyone else. Add a mask to your layer, then go into selection mode, set the fill colour to black and then use element selection to select the portions of the mesh you don't want to paint over. Noticed it does not always show where you are selecting on the mesh when editing the mask…
after replying here people asked me if they could have that script with the spinner that lets me smooth surfaces without the usual hassle in 3dsmax. The picture I posted back then was: http://www.renderhjs.net/bbs/polycount/tips/quarantine_map_smoothing_groups.gif its a common task for me fixing the smoothing groups of…
The tooltips should give you decent clues, but I should really look at making a brief usage video for it. Mostly you're going to be using 4 buttons on the interface; The top row of 3 - soften, harden and harden by UV. The one in the bottom right - update. The top row are context sensitive, based on the selection type…
In case you still want help Some possible fixes - When using UV island selections an inverted face normal will cause that face to be unselected & break apart. - Make sure shared location is selected http://i.imgur.com/BUN6TM3.png - Shared vertex is just annoying & having it set to disabled when you select verts/edges/faces…
Hey, i am back with another maxscript issue im facing. in Maxscript for sw 3D Studio Max 2016 I am currently trying to build a series of functions to among other things get loop/ring edge "spans" between edge selections or specific edges. The first step in such a function is reliably getting the next edge in the loop/ring…
( I tried having a go at it, there is a "bug" where if you drag click with move, rotate or scale tool you can still apply the effect by letting go of the mouse button before you stop moving the cursor. Although I haven't been able to get it to apply the tool effect when testing with a wacom, but only with my mouse. I'm…
How exactly are you trying to select the individual models? Clicking where exactly? And which version of Max? Looks like 2015 maybe... you can go to the Select menu and disable Select Children, which prevents clicking on the Layer from selecting all its contents. Make sure to deselect the Layer (click an empty place in the…
