I downloaded a script called Tools-GrabViewport, can't remember who by. basically it's the default viewport grabber but let's to save the images at a resolution you wish. Well I have enabled realtime shadows and AO in the viewport, but for some reason this screws the script up and makes it all pixelated, any way around…
Currently working with Pymel inside of Maya. I'm struggling to find a way to "alt-tab"/switch onto another open application after running a script. Say if i clicked an "export to desktop" button, the script would then tab me onto my desktop. Any input would be really useful, as Im very much flying blind at the moment.
It's frustrating for me to not be able to get this work, especially when I see some good results of talented people out there with the use of dynamics-for secondary motion. It seems they are scripting. I think someone posted a script somewhere but I wouldn't even know how to use it nor what it really does.
I have a script I wrote that has a function that does that. "Pivot to World Zero" http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2336353/SceneClean.ms Feel free to rip the code out and purpose it however you need, or run the script once from anywhere and then you'll find it under Customize UI > Category: "VigTools"
Also .mzp files are just renamed .zip files so you can open them in winrar, 7zip, bla bla bla... extract the files and put them where they need to go, which is normally self explanatory, scripts go into the scripts folder, UI/Icons in the UI/Icons folder.
HL2 introduced large scripted events that happened without taking control away from the player - it upped the ante compared to HL1 and basically set the standard, everybody was flipping their lids about it at the time. I can see where people are bored of that now, the COD games are almost completely scripted events.
also this script will write your whole scene to a .ms file you can run with any version of max http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/bff-bobos-file-format Good thing about this is it saves your smoothing groups and everything so you dont loose any information.
Does anyone have a script that allows you to scrub the timeline while working in the graph editor? I know holding down K is the default way of doing this but I've already overwrote that with another hotkey. I just need the MEL script so I can create another hotkey. Thanks.
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/3-point-align You select 3 points on your object (vertices) and 3 points on another object, could be a plane with edges that corespond to y axis of the world, and this script will align the first object rotation wise so that it matches the direction of those points.
An image resizing script would never issue warnings or bans. It would merely resize your stuff, and prevent you from posting more than one embed. That's it. The warnings are only because right now we don't have a script yet, so it's up to each person to be considerate of others.
