Re: 3DS Max - Set working pivot to Object?
Yeah, you can use Chris Whitaker's script to do that, FB Subobject Pivot. Just turn on the Affect Pivot Only > select face that you want to align with > run the script. If you didn't turn on the Affect Pivot Only option, you will align the working pivot instead. -
Snapping pivot point to vertex will be the absolute death of me.
So I have been using Unreal for a while now, and I feel like I'm for the most part pretty comfortable, but one thing that has always bothered the hell out of me is the snapping pivot to vertex function using MMB and V. I just can't seem to find any simple/easy way of doing this. Every time I try to snap the pivot point to… -
[3ds Max] Use custom working pivot without affecting the transform center
Hi, I have a cylindrical shape (made from loops of polygons) that I'm edge-extruding, using a side profile reference, following these steps: * select the last edge loop, * shift-drag it to the next position * use the scale tool to uniformly resize it, to match the profile curve For example, if I had to model a trumpet cone… -
Maya center pivot to world
Never had much of a use for something like this until today so i figured i'd throw it out there. Say i've got a cube centered at 0,0,0 in world coordinates and then i want to rotate an object around the center origin to align evenly with each face, is there quick way of doing this? essentially i want to set the pivot of an… -
Snap Pivot With Verts in UDK (Static Meshes)
Hi, I'm new to UDK and I had a question about snapping together static meshes. I have a dome-shape with arcades running around the drum of the dome. It is constructed with curved pieces that form the arcade. Maya has a feature to snap an object's pivot to another vert. Does UDK offer this functionality? The only way my… -
Maya: Possible to get MEL script for pivot reset button so I can set hotkey to it?
EDIT : Maya initial idea isn't really necessary after I've discovered pivot marking menu. When pivot edit mode is toggled (press "d"), you can right click to open common options for pivot. So no need to hotkey those. I'd like to get the script which runs the "Reset" button on the pivot. When I open script editor and press… -
Maya : Rotate pivot point problem
To my fellow maya polycounters: I've been having this really weird issue since I've upgraded to maya 2015. Let's say I have a poly object, and I'm selecting a few vertices, edges or faces. If I'm using move, the pivot point is centered where those verts are, if I'm using scale, it's also acting that way ( the correct… -
Re: 3DS Max Pivot
What if you go to the hierarchy tab, turn on "Effect Pivot Only" and rotate just the pivot point and export? If that doesn't work, and I suspect it won't, I think it might be a problem with the way FBX exports scenes, or rather how the engine imports the FBX files. I suspect it uses 3dsmax's world node as the objects local… -
Exporting Pivots from Maya to UDK
Hi all, Sorry to create another thread on .fbx exporting, but I thought I'd pose you a query: I have my environment blocked out in Maya and plan to export it into UDK as an .fbx file. Now I know that I'll have to go through and manually delete and replace all of my instanced objects, (-_-) but I was wondering if anyone… -
Re: Issues with FBX from Maya to Max transfer - pivot's location
I'm currently investigation this issue. The problem is on 3dsMax side when importing. I've discovered that by reading the fbx file in ASCII and testing with boxes from max to maya and such. The thing is, so far, can't find a solution The pivot is correct when maya is importing the fbx from Max, but not from maya to max.…
