Re: Quad Draw Help
Hey, I saw your other thread about the symmetry thing, I don't know the answer to that one, sorry. The shift-rmb marking menu is context sensitive, you'd need to be in a component mode (vert/edge/face) on the mesh you want to edit and have something selected for it to appear. Same with separate, you can select some faces,… -
Some Maya issues
I've been using Maya for about 6 months now, coming from 3dsmax, and I have a couple of issues and questions that I desperately need fixes: 1. Rotation gizmo in ortho views is greyed out on some part, what purpose this has? I can't rotate while clicking on the gray part of the gizmo. Somtimes, there is no grayed out part,… -
Re: Maxscript: get/set position of verts/egdes/faces/knots/objects/...
You can get/set position only for verts, so you have to check the subobject level and convert edges/faces to verts and then get/set the position. To avoid if-loops try with "case of" statement: ( case subobjectlevel of ( 1: (vertPos = for v in (polyop.getVertSelection selection[1]) collect (polyop.getVert selection[1] v))… -
Re: How can I bridge the top of a cylinder in 3DSMax?
Go to "border selection" (Default key 3), select one edge of the hole, all other should be selected automatically) and then click on "cap" in the Edit Rollout. This will fill the hole with a single n-gon. You can then go to vertex mode (default: 1) select the vertex and use connect to create 4-sided Polygons. Another… -
Re: Mel scripting help: moving a bunch of verts to a locator

Maya replicate along curve with MASH script
Hey guys I'm writing the script in the title but I've run into some issues. The script works once but once other mash networks enter the fray it fails since I don't know how to indicate which one to use. I can't find any decent MASH documentation. # Curve replicator #TODO # alter mash network name #add support for other… -
MaxScript - Curve Editor Tools [lots of gifs]
Opening Max 2009 and seeing mostly the same curve editor tools since Max 8 (which I've been using up until now) got me to give it a much needed update. Unzip this to the Max directory with folder names enabled. Look in the monsterBlues category. (Works best as a tool bar for the curve editor and then save the curve editor… -
Re: What are your 3ds max hotkeys and shortcuts to work faster?
Thank for the reply guys, I've went ahead and created a custom keybinding setup based on personal experience and the feedback I've received from you 😊 I haven't added anything about the UV because right now I'm mostly focused on the modeling part so I'm not in the mood to mess up with it, I'll tackle it in the future.… -
Re: Creating Scratch Textures ("From Scratch")
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Sounds like you want a general mini-tutorial on UV mapping. Incidentally, I feel like writing one. I've only done this in Max, and the latest version I've used is 5, so this may or may not apply exactly to what you're doing. But the idea should be the same. - Open up the object you're texturing. - Create a procedural… -
Re: "Use Pivot Point Center" in Maya equivalent
Cool, I would use this bonus tool if I wanted a quick way to change an object's pivot based on the current component selection. Thanks Malcom. However, for some reason the default behavior of that bonus tool, is to disrupt the current component selection and selecting the object instead. And even if it was possible to…
