editbl poly subobject: edge->poly selectn transfer
A friend of mine showed me 8 months ago how to create a selection in 3DS Max (v6) on an editable poly in edge mode and transfer that selection to the polygon mode by doing something like holding down shift and clicking on the polygon button. I tried it last night and couldn't get the edge selection to transfer over. Does… -
Re: Select surface objects script(Maya)
Not the most elegant solution but here is a script in Python that does what you want (not familiar with MEL). Just turn this into a shelf button or the like. It works by checking a stored value done with "optionVar" and if the var is True then runs the mel.eval to turn the object off and vice versa. It's wrapped in a try… -
Copying Alpha Value of Selected Vert (Maxscript)
Hi, I've been trying to copy the alpha value of a selected vert in 3dsmax (via a tool UI) and I'm almost there but something isn't working how I expected. It seems that I need to get the index of that vert in its array and not its ID# ? Here is the code that I have so far for the "Copy Alpha" button; the variable "sV" is… -
Better option for 3ds paint seletion?
The trouble with Max's paint select is that even if you have "Ignore Backfacing" checked, it still likes to select backfacing verts. This is also evident in Selecting by Angle. I remember that Orion Flame had a nice paint selection tool. I am wondering if there is a paint selection script to get precise painting with real… -
maya2025: Maya wont snap all selected vertices to the vertex near the mouse ('snap to points')
A handy trick I have been using for a while is if I have a bunch of vertices that have all their varying height positions (y axis) selected, with 'snap to points turned on' and the pivots y axis active, I can just hold down middle mouse button and drag near a vertex that I want all the selected vertices to have the same… -
Help with mel - tokenizing selection
Hi, I'm working on a script to place cylinders on selected faces for booleans. I need to place the first selected object into a token so I can call it up, but am confused on how I can bring the selection into a string to tokenize between the "." The script is meant to allow me to select adjacent components on a poly… -
Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
Nice to see that this edge fading setting is possible to change without affecting edge selection now, as that wasn't always the case (at least not in 3.x) Also now that you are gradually tweaking things to your liking here's a suggestion : by default, recent versions of Blender perform selections on click release - meaning… -
Maya Selection Problem
[EDIT]I figured it out, but left the post for humor... Solution at end of post:[/EDIT] Hi all. This morning I started up Maya, made a cylinder used F10 to get into edge select mode, tried to grab an edge but noticed that all of a sudden Maya is behaving strangely. I have pre-selection highlight active and when I hover the… -
Selection Tools
Hi. I've just started learning Marmoset Toolbag 4 and I'm really digging it! I have a few feature requests regarding the selections tools. 1) When I create a selection using one of the selection tools like the Rectangle Select, I'd like to be able to transform the selection. It would be very useful to rotate, scale and… -
Re: Why can't I select verts in Edit UVW window (3DS Max 9)?
You are reading me wrong. I meant select two verts, hit connect, done (I do it approx 100 times a day). But yeah sometimes cut is faster (when it works), but I avoid it because of all the problems it is likely to create. Most of the time if I need to create a line between the middle of two edges, I select both, and hit…
