Thanks Arcanox, the axis constraint did the trick. Still seems like a lot of work dragging the first vertex to the 2nd vertex you want to align to, especially if there are lots of verts involved. I dunno if they have a Max script that makes this more efficient but I guess this will do for now :/
Looks good to me, i assume there is not bottom ? anyway your uv islands need to correspond to the smoothing groups, so for more complex objects i'd suggest you unwrap first and just use a script, uv islands to smoothing groups. I added some more tips.
ok ... did you have a solution for UV channel swap? I also noticed you fave'd this plugin on creative crash (I swear I am not stalking you.) ... did that help? http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/c/ase-file-export-for-maya
I've never really liked Max's local extrude, works accurately for me about half the time. I would recommend Illusioncatalyt's extendsurface script, been using it for years in production and it's a good alternative to max's if doesn't give you the desired results.…
Hi , I've reset xforms, did the box trick, exported to other formats and re-imported, I've flipped/unified normals with an editable mesh modifier under it, I've tried kidnapping it's kids and sending a ransom note; still no luck. I wonder if these needs a script based solution.

thanks certain things i agree with and also have been trying to figure out some things in html script which i am a noob to. Resume and Cover letter will be up soon just havent had a chance to get to it. thanks for the feed back ill take it in to consideration.
To answer one question, Polyboost has been integrated into 3ds Max as the Ribbon toolbar. I would say you don't need any external scripts right off the bat, because the Ribbon has most things you would need. Maybe a quad-chamfer tool.
why not use a single batch script(one for starting one for ending) : Stop service: sc stop "TabletInputService" sc config "TabletInputService" start= disabled Start Service: sc start "TabletInputService" sc config "TabletInputService" start= auto one click and your problems are/should be gone
In this case, mirroring is just copying the half of the mesh that is uvmaped to the other side. Basically like applying a symmetry to the mesh. Plus, you always have to offset the uvs to the side on the mirrored parts or else you will have overlaped uvs and it will cause issues when baking. :) For reals. this script is…
