A friend forwarded this one to me. Top 10 reasons you cannot select an object: 1. Unlock the selection (space bar, or turn off Selection Lock Toggle). 2.Click the wireframe, not the volume. 3.Unfreeze the object (right-clic for quad menu, choose Unfreeze All). 4. Turn off the creation tool you're currently using, or click…
Just bind this to a hotkey and you're done : string $Objects[] = `ls -sl -fl`; // Store current selection for ($Obj in $Objects) { // Start a loop that will go through each object in your selection list select -r $Obj; // Select the first object in the loop polyColorPerVertex -rem ; // Remove any vertex color data on the…
Thanks Kodde Thats supercool. Gonna have to incorporate as much in some tools. I did something similar with Barycentric Coordinates to find crevices: ( from an object selection the script selects all the edges that make up crevices ) or the opposite ( depending on whether I wanted a hill or a valley ). select object> run…
Oh yeah, for sure. Baking is difficult and there are loads of things you should keep in mind. Pieces like these should be laid out vert/horiz and straightened for the same reason as I mentioned above. Its easy to do this by selecting the faces, going UV Editor > Modify > Unitize, then selecting all the edges, and…
Every 3d package texture baker could bake from one UV to another or from one mesh to another. Could be done both ways actually. I don't use 3d max for a decade already but as far as I remember it could be perfectly done in render-to-texture dialog. Or any texture baker that support a texture on "hires" mesh. Substance…
Greetings amazing creatures! I have run into a little problem of when it comes to biding a script to a Key in 3Ds max, and I would love to get some information on what I might have done wrong. So generally speaking I want to my script to run when I press a key. So in order for me to get the script to even appear in the…
Hello! I have tried to use custom attributes for tools that I want to make but I get a undefined function or class when I open the scene that has a object with my custom attributes. Usually I add all the function by hand inside the custom attributes but I started to learn about FileIn() that seem really usefull to me.…
Hopefully some of you have the Max8 demo.... When editing UVs, I'll usually make a poly selection of an area, apply an unwrap, and then edit the UVs. What I'm seeing in max8 though, is that after selecting the polys and going into unwrap, I cannot modify the UV's if I go from vertex to poly selection in the unwrap UI. The…
I'm trying out modo atm, and have some questions maybe someone here can answer: 1. When I have a selection with a gizmo (move/rotate/transform) enabled I'm unable to deselect by just clicking outside the gizmo/selection. Instead I have to either toggle back off the gizmo, or switch selection type. Is their any way to…
