Hello folks! I am building a quick tool in Maya 2015 where you can import 3d models into your viewport. the method works by creating snapshots of your model and create an obj of it. And then load the model by clicking its icon. I have found a way to create snapshots of your model and save it into disk. Now the problem is…
Here's a Mel I made to speed up initial UV creation. It automatically creates oriented UVs for the selected meshes and a UV layout for all the objects in the current selection on a single texture sheet. It cuts hard edges and uses the new Auto Seams command (Maya 2017 Update 4 or 2018) to create UV shells which it then…
I remember completing ME1, then doing ME1 again with all the opposite choices (but you could still level the same character further). So when it came to ME2 I had a guy who made all the choices I didn't want to make. Later on when I was set to play again on hardest difficulty I noticed there was a DLC which I'm sure was…
Hi I'm working on a small script so I could increase my workflow. Whole script is working but that last procedure bevel command is not working properly can you tell me how to fix it? ( polyBevel -fraction 0.2 -chamfer 0; ) Here I'm using fraction value 0.2 and chamfer is 0 but when I run the script it is using the maya…
I'm trying to select several objects and move any uv set not "map1" to map1 and delete the leftover, now unused, uv set. I pulled a mel script I found off another thread. However when you have multiple objects selected it errors on line 7 saying it "Doesn't work for muliple objects selected." I'm guessing it's a diff from…

Hi, Suppose I made a blue blinn color material through MEL. There is anyway when I again click on the button it's assigning the random color or changing the color of the material from blue to Pink, Red kind off? <p>window;<br>frameLayout -label "jayant";<br>flowLayout -columnSpacing 7 -w 20 -h 50;<br>symbolButton -w 40 -h…
Once again I have run into a bit of a wall Mel. I tried to write a script that get uv shells without having to select the uvs themselve one shell at a time. global proc string getUVShells()<br>{<br> string $shellList[];<br> string $objects[] = `ls -o -sl`;<br> int $shellIds [];<br><br> for ($obj in $objects)<br> {<br> int…
Hi guys! I decided to develop my sculpting skills, thats why I have picked a quest to model Mel Gibson. I have spent a while figuring out the facial anatomy, construction of the skull and face, and other stuff like that. It seems ok while doodling some random faces, but in case like that it doesnt seem to work. I started…
Guys, I've been using Maya 2017 for a while and have always used a simple MEL script that moved my object to the origin, froze transform and then launch export selected so that I could export it to engine, but here at work I'm using Maya LT 2018 and for some reason export selected doesn't work. I can't find any…
