Thanks, this is a good suggestion but it introduces dependancies (MentalRay and a third-party plug-in). I managed to get TURTLE to render out good results but it required quite a lot of reverse-engineering. I went through the MEL-callbacks via the Script Editor, looked up the MEL-scripts and found the final command that is…
joebount: Whenever you add a polygon command, if you have construction history active, there will be a new node added to the object's history, which you can see in the Channel Box. If you select a node like polyBevel (if you'd done a bevel) or polyExtrude (for ... extrude!) then when you click on it in the Channel Box it…
finnaly got a day off work and worked a little more on the script, now works with bevel offset on lmb and bevel segments with mmb, and shows the current value of the attribute on the hud. just extract this into your maya scripts dir. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2360554/mayaScripts/pbTools.zip and make a button that executes…
Ah yeah, that's probably it. This here. Probably set to Local. You might want World instead, depending. Here's the help file http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/2012help/index.html?url=files/GUID-0F3E2822-9296-42E5-A572-B600884B07E-298.htm,topicNumber=d28e58766 I use a script from Jim Jagger called "[FONT=Arial,…
Hi, guys! As I said before I don't use callback. I'm new to maxscript and... Sync, your code is too complicated to me. :) Here the steps that I use to get the last selected vertex: 1. selecet some vertices - 10 for example 2. start script what script do: 2.1. store vertex selection in array 2.2. max undo 2.3 store vertex…
So I've come across a solution for this issue. I'm currently working on a big project, I'm halfway through bake testing all of my objects and already have a total of close to 15 objects that have this cage intersecting issue. 1. The solution is pretty simple, create a clone of your lowpoly, use this normal backup script…
even light knowledge can help a ton. when i started with the company i'm with now i had some basic j script knowledge but nothing beyond that, as i refined my skillset and learned new languages the interaction with the programming team went through the roof. Not only is it helpfull in bridging the gaps between the…
Object Paint http://youtube/ZwHJgfdOFDw has spacing tool inside , also option to pick an edge from a model to place objects. Has randomisation. So for basic use it's very good. I cannot use it because it's impossible to create precise strokes by hand, paths from edges are better in that case. (I has to modify this paths)…
I used silo at work and I will buy me a personal license soon. The programm is pretty nice. Although there are some bugs and no further upgrades (as said above) it has some really nice features. Nice customizable GUI, fast selection methods and a nice subdiv handling which is supperior to maya(<=8.0). As I was used to work…
Maybe I'm not understanding the question/drawing, but I think your trying too hard. It looks to me by "overlap" that you just want that image in the circle to come down into the same area as the text, like the bottom half of the circle is sitting on a different background color. That would all be done with image editing,…
