try this: * open maya * open the script editor * under the history menu check on "echo all commands" this will mean that everything you do will now show up in the script editor. You can then either copy or paste these commands into your script or look them up on the documentation.…
Well Eric you were right! No mystery light with the script off. Thank you very much! Guess I should have tried that first, lol. Now to find another camera follow script! Edit: just in case anyone else is having a similar issue, I followed this tutorial and used the accompanying script, and it works great! No mystery light…
Wuh? Don't you mean "the benefit of working with edges rather than faces"? Assigning groups to faces is an oddly backwards workflow, IMHO. The script I'd recommend is Pier Jansson's Soft/Hard edge script - it basically mimics Maya's behaviour and is much faster than doing smoothing groups the "default max" way:…
If you're on 3dsmax 2010 or lower you'll need to use one of several UV alignment scripts that where floating around before they included the feature into 3dsmax. James Haywood and Neil Blevins both have good UV align scripts. I wrote one for myself that works just like NoltaN described.…
When I need to make a keyboard shortcut quickly I just select the text from the listener or script window and drag and drop it onto a tool bar. Then if you go to Customize User Interface/Keyboard and look in the "Drag and Drop" Category you'll find the script you just dropped. It's pretty handy. Lately I just have a…
I have made a solution just for personal usage - switching between orthogonal and perspective views. It is partially based on two existing scripts by James Drew / Davide Alidosi and Deniseich scripts, but it works slightly different way. Grab this GIST and put it into your scripts folder. Then assign the following python…
I am not familiar with construction scripts tbh. Is there somewhere I can get a construction scripts for cameras that freezes or locks it? I don't get why the devs couldn't just add a lock camera feature. This is something that a lot of archviz people need when working. With this construction script,it means I would need…
Hi Sergey, I thought to contribute to your great script with another one that will search for the brush by name. I think this will come in handy on the thumbnail painting, specially if you will have a lot of brushes loaded. this of course is a temporary solution, until you adjust your script to automatically select the…
Yeah I've been blocking out the scene and it's close but i cant quite get it right and it's killing me, I'm using maya though so I can't try that script out but I'm trying to find an alternative. Edit: For anyone struggling with this in Maya I just used this script…
for the simple case above, the less you deal with scripts the faster/better you will get. at least in my experience i gotten lot better at eyeballing/accuracy and speed. i use scripts a lot, but not for simple things like that. i actually have fun doing simple things like that and dont want to script everything. sure the…
