hello! I need a script to save and then load explicit normals for selected objects. so the process is like this: * select object * press button to export normals into a file. normals saved along with object name * deselect/object again * press a button to read saved file. script sees the name in the file and if this name…
I was wondering if anyone knew of a Maya script/technique for duplicating a plane along points on a CV curve/spline. I know there is a way but I haven't messed around with it enough to figure one out... besides writing a .mel script or the old school way of creating an animation sweep and freezing it. I've just been…
Hello all, I have been trying to find this through google and have had no luck in getting a working script. I would like a script that does the following: -Enters edge selection mode on the selected object (if it is not already active) -Selects all the hard edges -Any selection constraints are then reset back to normal…
Hi guys, sorry for making 2 separate threads but I noticed something else that's not entirely related and I haven't found a thread that mentions it yet. It looks like the shared folder is registering the export calibration scripts as an option, but they fail upon running. I tried copying a functioning one to the…
Programming and Scripting, are different IMO. If you brother wants to sit down and develop a program or make major edits to an engine, learn C++. Like others have already said, it will be trivial to jump to another language. If he wants to be more on the tech artist side rather than full blown programmer, then C# and…
It's been a long time since I gave back to this community ( the last time I was really here was waaaay before we had an animation section!). In all that time I've progressed technically, in my day to day jobs I've been needing to create quick and simple hybrid rigs that could be humanoid, quadrupeds or just straight up…
Hi, guys, I came up with a more detailed algorithm, It looks like this: The Explode baker: Step a) Link LPs to their corresponding HPs: - must provide flexible options such as smart sorting of names (even if some of the names are miswritten the script tries to find their best match). - linking by relative distance and…
Tried out to work with that script, I moved those two files into place: (X:\Users\UserName\Documents\maya\2018\) created a shelf-python-script: import launcher launcher.run() saved my document which contains xgen-strands and hit the button/script: i got this error: import launcher launcher.run() # Error: ImportError: file…
Any of you script monkeys want to show off? I love painting in .psds but like to bring them down to bmps, jpgs and tgas.. nowadays its getting really time consuming to do all the repathing! I would like to see a script that looks at all the maps in a max scene (or selected objects if you want to be really nice), finds any…
recently, when I start maya all my scripts such as mjpolytools or keegans script pack are not present and I have to re-initialize them even though I have already installed them. Does anyone know how to get it back to being loaded when maya starts? I don't remember messing with any settings so I'm a bit stumped
