OK, old thread has dropped off the radar and I have some new questions regarding Maya 2008, so here goes: 1. Selecting a parent highlights all children How can I make it so that when I select a Joint (or any other object with children, for that matter), Maya doesn't shade all the child objects in bright green and display…
Hey guys, I’m about to start this long and painful(?) process called “posing a character in Zbrush with a lot of subtools” (with my pirate model). It’s the very first time I’ll do this on a highpoly model and I’d be interested to know which technique works for you the best. After picking informations here and there on the…
Hi! Nathan from Unity here. We're excited to announce the launch of the Neon Challenge, a real-time environment contest. We’re offering a prize pool of over $30,000 for finalists and a grand prize of $20,000! We're looking for talented environment artists to create a scene using custom models and the Asset Store to create…
Kryzon, answer is correct, but I believe that part of the help file was written before the getSelectedGeomVerts() function was added. It's easier now that you don't have to compare UV and Geo Verts from faces. ( --GET SELECTED GEO VERTS FROM SELECTED UV VERTS uvMod = modPanel.getCurrentObject() selVerts =…
From what I recall its limited to stitch and move only 2 shell elements together - any greater number results into what you described. There was also something related to non stitch able edges or selection types which caused a ignore of the stitch command. Thats why I changed the stitch tool in TexTools to that extend that…
Many thanks gnoop :) So the answer is still no. Still no easy selection cage. But maybe we misunderstand each other here. What you describe is a quick mask, followed by a move tool, followed by an edit <- is this the part where you can finally adjust the size of the selection rectangle? As told that's what keeps me with…
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting in the tech talk section. I've been messing around with MEL Script for some time now and one of my buddies suggested showing some of my code to a larger audience to receive better feedback. I don't necessarily want to learn MEL thoroughly, but it's nice to know enough to be able…
Let's see here. Off the top of my head: [ QUOTE ] First there is orientation alignment of bones. When you have for example three bones in the forearm (one for the elbow, two for the twist) you want them to be perfectly aligned. In max you could simply select a clild of the elbow and align it to the parent's orientation.…
I've not done much modelling by hand in a few years and miss the good old days where I could select an element, hold shift and duplicate it. Nowshift+move defaults to extruding your selected component and in the case of an element does nothing. I can detach to element as a clone but that is not fluid or pleasant and I…
If one position of a point is here; Mouse position : 947 540 0. Then it must be possible to take that point and select, like symmetrical do the same thing on another point except opposite world coordinates by storing it into a empty array, selecting another point and applying the same world coordinates to the other point…
