Are you moving one object to another? Quick Align seems to work pretty well for that. I think the default shortcut is Shift+A. Or working in sub-object mode on polys and verts? I haven't tried it but this script might get the job done pretty well. It gives you a nice little GUI to copy/paste I think you can also hotkey the…
There's nothing built into Max, AFAIK, to let you copy and past poses on regular bones. But with some of the new features in 7 I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes up with a script to do that. Paul Neale has a script that will let you copy and paste poses for custom attributes, but that's not the same as copying the…
I know its precisely not what u asked for, but have you considered doing it via photoshop? you can write scripts to automate everything in photoshop (not actions, they are way less flexible) have a word with your TD/ technical artists and see what they say. I've made a few clumsy artist attempts at scripts, and they've…
It would help to state the purpose for your survey, at the start of the survey. I get it's to help you write your thesis, but is your thesis going to be creating a new tool? It would also help to state where you'll be sharing the tool when completed, and maybe a link to a social site where you'll be sharing your progress…
I got a problem with a modifier I'm trying to make in maxscript. The idea is to have an array as modifier on a object, so you can quickly and dynamically change properties on the clones. It works okay at first, but my problem is that the modifier doesn't know/remember its parent. If you add the modifier on a box, you get a…
My payday is June 1st. As soon as the money is in my account I will get 6-month subscriptions for Modo&Mari Indie combo from Steam. And during the upcoming Steam sale around the end of June I plan to buy 3D Coat Educational. To me, using scripts is a bit unnecessary since I hardly touched it when I installed recommended…
Hey there, I'm trying to write a simple script in MEL, at least I hope it's simple, to select a series of joints, toggle select the translate and rotate attributes from the channel box, and then bake simulation (because I want the simulation to only bake those attributes). Does anyone know how to grab those attributes from…
not sure if this is easy or I'm going to need some kind of script- basically I have 2 maya files, each with a group/parent structure set up with identical groups and naming, and each group has various objects underneath them. I want to merge the files, so if both files have a group 'bolts' and underneath that lots of…

It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing…
Hey Polycounters, I can't seem to figure out how to hotkey either a toggle or either functions for Orbit Sub-Object vs Orbit Point of interest. While modeling I like to be able to switch between the two for different purposes. I can only find a hotkey to call up the trackball for the current mode, but nothing to switch…
