Selection Sets in Softimage to Mudbox?
I'm trying to figure out a way in Softimage to save a "selection set" and transfer that over to Mudbox by doing the send to Mudbox feature. I know Maya can do this by selecting faces and then create a "quick select set". I've tried creating clusters based off of selected faces but it doesn't seem to save the selections.… -
MEL how to select every second face on a ring?
I've created a script which takes the user's selection and selects an edge pattern based on the how many edges they currently have selected. For example if they select 3 edges in a ring it will select the entire ring and leave a gap of 3 and then select the next 3, etc.I'd like to extend the script to work on faces, but I… -
Re: Expanding Selections - confused (Photoshop)
To select the paint hold CTRL and click the thumbnail of the layer you want to select - this will select the opaque areas, and leave the transparent areas alone. Then go to the select/modify menu and you can expand or contract the selection as you need to. If there is no transparency in your layer then the whole image will… -
Re: Maya - how to make look selections?
This, right? Maya is easily confused when trying to select more than one face loop. Not sure why. If you are trying to select 2 adjacent face loops, you can select the edge loop between them and convert the selection to faces, which will result in both face loops being selected. If you are trying to select multiple face… -
[3DSMax] Volume Select Modifier + Animated Object = random
Dear polycount community, I am currently experimenting with pushing an animated box over a plane. The ultimate goal would be to have all of the faces inside have a different material ID. For this I set up my plane as follows: (order is like in the max modifier panel) [Material ID] (<- set to 2) [Volume Select] (<- set to… -
Re: Select multiple object vertex by number (Maya MEL)
Alrighty. I did some corrections to the previous sprunghunt's line and i got something that works with one vertex select -r $obj.vtx[5] ; I could not get the multiple vertex selection with this one line, so i scrolled some forums and came up with this: string $sel[] = `ls -sl`; string $obj; for ($obj in $sel) { select -r… -

Cannot select unseen meshes/verts/faces/etc in Maya
I'm trying to figure out if it's an issue with my graphics card, but I don't see how it could be. If I click and drag over a mesh, trying to select vertices, I can only select the verts which I can see. All the verts on the other side of the mesh remain unselected. This goes the same with trying to select edges, faces,… -
No face selected after flatten mapping - Max 2010
Good old times - Max 8 Select faces + Flatten Mapping = All the selected faces are mapped AND still selected so you can move them around instantly. Bad new times - Max 2010 Select faces + Flatten Mapping = All the selected faces are mapped BUT only the last mapped face is selected. So you have you re-select all to move…
