I use 2008, so i hope this is still relevant... or actually not, hopefully this stuff is already fixed ;) . -Overall the program is just bloated by functionality that isn't really necessary, or doesn't feel relevent to what you're doing at the time. There are plenty of buttons that if i think hard i could kinda see how it…
I looked for a while for this, but couldn't find really anything doing it... so I made it. It's my 1st script for max :p and it may not be that usefull but I wanted to share it still. It simply replace the selected bone to another one while keeping the same weight :) Mainly useful when your mirror paste doesn't work…
Hey currently I'm trying to sort through this piece of code that I've edited from one of @Ojah 's old posts. fn F_moveUV movePos = ( if selection.count >= 1 do ( SEL = selection as array for i = 1 to SEL.count do ( print SEL[i] objMod = SEL[i].modifiers[#unwrap_uvw] objMod.unwrap2.faceToVertSelect() print objMod vArray =…
Short script that collapses component clusters for Maya 2018 :) Full credits to eltarbos! (Python) Code: import maya.cmds as cmds Original Post: So I've been getting into Python in hopes of not banging my head as frequently as I do whenever I get to make my own scripts. Right now I was trying to mimic Max' merging ways, in…
Hi, I'm trying to work out how to uv and texture a race track in Max. I've built a simple track to experiment on (using line and sweep). I've been trying out the graphite modeling tools - I want the faces highlighted in light blue to be the road, the ones above to be mountains and the lower faces to be mountains too. All…
Welcome Bob, scrolling your credits reads like a who's who tent-pole 'dream team' selection for the best part of 30yrs, especially for nerdy folk (...which certainly includes me :# ) that are enamored with scifi/disaster/apoc/fantasy content and may I add particularly mechanical hard surface stuff so hope your time here is…
I thought a lot of people would appreciate this so I made a mini tutorial about it. So there is a simple and fast way to bake displacement and subdivision into lowpoly meshes inside the editor, using the editor modeling tools. It goes like this: 1. Enable the editor modeling tools in the plugins settings. This will require…
It seems the particle system strains out anything that is not geometry. Things I tried: - Linked a light to a cube, only the cube came out of the emitter. - Grouped the light and the cube and selected the group to come out of the emitter, only the cube came out even though it let me select the group AS the particle, I had…
I think there's enough in 2012 to justify jumping from 2009 to 2012. 2010 and 2011 where rough years but there are things that I've come to depend on in the newer versions I wouldn't want to go back and I wouldn't want to try and code those myself. The differences between 2009 and 2012 that I have a hard time living…
