Polyhertz, the quad from edge script works well. I just found out that RappaTools has this functionality in the bridge tools tho. Makes me feel bad telling you since you put the effort in to write the script. The Quad from vertex script unfortunately gives me an error. Have tested it in max 14 and 15.…
01 - Select All Element If you select the object in object mode you can do a selection conversion to verts/faces/edges. Just hold Ctrl+right-click with the object selected and then go "To Vertices"/"To UVs" etc. It would also be very simple to write a script that would give you all vertices based on a currently selected…
I really don't see what was your problem with smoothing, but perhaps you solved that? If you have a drawing override for a model and can't change it in the attribute editor, it must be because your model is assigned to a layer, so the layer is controlling the override, and it seems like you are having that layer set to…
I looked today into this and I might be able to script something in maxscript that would render selected edges with aliasing, so the lines would not be smooth just like a regular UV screen grab in max. I found some script snippets that select hard edges (smoothing group wise),- once those edges would be selected the script…
hmmm there is something important to understand here. "Autosave" is not a simple script doing a ctrl+S for you every X minutes. Interesting point of the "Save" features is about keeping history of your saved work. Then yes, to save automatically your file, but not on the same file. Imagine Photoshp crashes saving your…
Hey everyone! I just got into scripting a couple of days ago and I want to start tracking my progress and potentially get some pointers and some feedback from more advanced scripters. I'm still very new and my stuff is super simple, so don't get your hopes up for anything awesome. Here's the first script that I made. I got…
It's a native look-and-feel UI with a 3D viewport embedded ( which you can disable completely so no extra rendering time will be used in case you want to execute just the HM2NM tool, etc ). I changed the right-collapsible window by floating/docking windows though... in that way you can move the windows with more freedom or…
I have seen scripts that do exactly this on scriptspot and elsewhere on the web related results (using google) http://www.scriptspot.com/bobo/mxs2/cfc/ http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/camera-based-face-selection http://72.27.230.245/3ds-max/scripts/camerafacecounter The way pretty much all of them work is by…
Great stuff, many thanks eevans! This is a well designed tool, normal maps are much better quality than nvidia and any other tools/plugins. The only downside is having to run a script, meaning you can't do anything else until you close it. Anyway, this is going to be used from now on so thanks once again for the link and…
