I've been experimenting with this technique... I don't need to detatch the faces in question. In fact, all I need to know is how many sub-materials the particular model is using, not how many the material has. I tried this: ids = selection[1].material.materialIDList --Go through the material ids mesh_total = 0 for id in…
No, i'm dealing with 3d scan data. Quadrified mesh doesn't mean clean loops. I'll manage with the unwrap. I don't get why faces selection is remembered in the edit poly when you collapse the unwrap, but not edges selection (i suspect max beeing stupid tho) edit : I've found a script that select in-between edges but it…
Basically Ive applied a skin modifier (bonespro) to my mesh.. and wish to use a CTRL+L like function to select the entire head and helmet of my character In order to address the weight issues of that area - when previously attempting to select the editable mesh to access the element selection option, a warning came up…
Here is a rough start: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>macroScript quadMenuList ( try (destroyDialog roll_mouseList) catch () max select all allObjArr = selection as array allObjStrArr = #() for i in 1 to allObjArr.count do ( append allObjStrArr allObjArr.name ) rollout roll_mouseList "Falloff" --width:200…
SOLVED - if you hold CTRL while doing the change component RMB gesture, it won't select a new object In Maya, if you have Object A selected and then do a RMB gesture to change component selection, any other object that is under the cursor will become selected. Is there a way to disable this so that component mode is…
What? That's nonsense, of course you can make selections through scripts. For example, this would select edges 0-10 on the mesh named "pSphere1": select -r "pSphere1.e[0:10]" ; You just need to get the name of the mesh you want to make the selection on, the index numbers of the edges you want to select, and combine them…
Hello all. I'm new to 3d and just starting to work my way through online video tutorials. I'm presently working on a basic file which consists of a nurbs sphere and polygon sphere both placed on a polygonal plane. The problem I'm having is quite simple: I can't seem to select the part of the nurbs sphere which is…
Hello all, I have been trying to find this through google and have had no luck in getting a working script. I would like a script that does the following: -Enters edge selection mode on the selected object (if it is not already active) -Selects all the hard edges -Any selection constraints are then reset back to normal…
You can also select a component of the mesh section you'd like to select, and select>convert Selection>to shell. I have it set to a shortcut, for ease. Or, for faces, you can just double click on any one in the mesh, and it'll select the entire current shell.
Get to know your polygon selection tools. In the UVW Unwrap modifier panel, there are some options to control viewport selections. Ignore Backfacing is a good one to use in your example. http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-EA10E59F-DE7F-497E-B399-6CF213A02C8D You can also use Element selection to…
