Hey guys, So i'm trying to learn basic Mel scripting. For my first script, i wanted a tool that could set up joints and orient them based on a character's topology. It works, but only orients joints to the world axis. Now if I select verts or faces in component mode, a local rotation pivot will appear (as shown in the…
hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has any tutorials that are easy enough to follow for maxscript? i have no experience with writing any kind of codes so, what's your suggestion? where should i start, should i start with other scripting language or i can simply just start with maxscript? my goal would be to start writing…
I can't get this working, if I remove the break the script works, but it creates too many erroneous groups, with the break in there it creates a single group, but then when I run the script again it ignores the if statement? Any idea what I'm doing wrong? string $transforms[] = `ls -tr`;for ($t in $transforms) { if ($t ==…
So I have been looking some stuff, and can't seem to find anything on how to convert a horizontal cubemap layout into a horizontal cross like what UDK supports.

The cast got together and read through 2 scripts that never made it into production at a convention in Atlanta recently. This is a couple of videos showing that event. Press play and close your eyes and sit back and giggle.…

Aaaah! in this case have a look at Transfer Attributes, you can surely check if your able to transfer the UV sets, if this doesn't work i may be wrong but there is a script called Poly UV Transfer at creative crash, im pretty sure this should help you out.

Wow, Walterlow, that's incredibly appreciated! Unfortunately when I tried to run it, I get the following error: "Unknown property: "pos" in $selection" I copied your script and saved it as a .ms file then selected all of the biped bones and hit Run Script. Tried selecting the keyframes themselves and got the same error.…
Yeah that's actually what I wanted throttlekitty. No worries Seehr, the more knowledge I can get the better! Any scripts you guys would recommend would be awesome too.
