Without scripts: Extrude the border, select the newly extruded faces (ctrl-clicking the face level to convert selection from edge to face), switch back to edges and delete the selected loop for cleanup. Free script alternatives: Extend Surface (UI-less) Extend Borders (with UI)
I do some interface work too, using layer effects sometimes. I made an Action for that does the Vig thing, works really well. New Layer Merge Duplicate Set selection Set channel Alpha1 to selection Delete layer Set selection to none
problem is luke if you select each colour with the magic wand you get horrible ragged edges. is there a better way to select your colours and get clean edges like the alpha channel does? select by colour range still gives me slightly weird edges
I use Modo, but maybe Maya has something similar. It has a useful edge selection tool called diagonal which selects the diagonals you need to remove to go back to a quads mesh. It's not perfect but it does a good 80% of the job, the selection needs to be adjusted by hand.
Usually I would just use the pen tool to trace the shape, but the quick way on that image would be to magic wand select the background with a bit of tolerance, and delete the background. Then ctrl click the layer to get the selection you want, and fill the selection with a plain color in another layer.
manipPivot -p repositions the gizmo of your component selection in world space. xform -ws -piv repositions the gizmo of your object selection in world space. I don't think there's a way to move a shell selection to world space with a single command that also retains component spacing.
This is a tutorial where I demo a simple setup for getting paint color selection and decal selection working in your vehicle select menus. This is geared towards a racing game setup, but the same techniques will work in any game where you want to swap textures on a character or model or add decals to that model. This…

Hello all. I'm new to 3d and just starting to work my way through online video tutorials. I'm presently working on a basic file which consists of a nurbs sphere and polygon sphere both placed on a polygonal plane. The problem I'm having is quite simple: I can't seem to select the part of the nurbs sphere which is…
on CGTuts, there's a tutorial that demonstrates making a selection of edges and turns them into a ring of edges. I kinda know how to do it manually by adding tracing a circle and adding cuts, but this is really confusing.
