Thx Noors! I meanwhile stumbled upon the script you linked. Just this moment I was tinkering with deleting the symmetric half and capping the resulting hole. Then I used the script to place a working pivot on the resulting cap-plane which gives me a working pivot whose Z-axis is the symmetry planes normal. Sadly I could…
no i meant baked maps will be joined in photoshop, but i fear this is just too specific to our current projects. but what basically happens is, that we bake a lot of maps and a script assembles all maps into one texture, which is already pretty close to finished. For example It collects all maps with a specific (ie.…
The annoying thing is I know how to do this in Maya easily :/ But I'm not going to export to maya just to use the select using constraints tool and then import back to max... I have searched and everyone just suggests to use polyboost or orionflame which both have tools to do this and they work fine, but I dont want to…
Polyhertz, the quad from edge script works well. I just found out that RappaTools has this functionality in the bridge tools tho. Makes me feel bad telling you since you put the effort in to write the script. The Quad from vertex script unfortunately gives me an error. Have tested it in max 14 and 15.…
01 - Select All Element If you select the object in object mode you can do a selection conversion to verts/faces/edges. Just hold Ctrl+right-click with the object selected and then go "To Vertices"/"To UVs" etc. It would also be very simple to write a script that would give you all vertices based on a currently selected…
I really don't see what was your problem with smoothing, but perhaps you solved that? If you have a drawing override for a model and can't change it in the attribute editor, it must be because your model is assigned to a layer, so the layer is controlling the override, and it seems like you are having that layer set to…
I looked today into this and I might be able to script something in maxscript that would render selected edges with aliasing, so the lines would not be smooth just like a regular UV screen grab in max. I found some script snippets that select hard edges (smoothing group wise),- once those edges would be selected the script…
hmmm there is something important to understand here. "Autosave" is not a simple script doing a ctrl+S for you every X minutes. Interesting point of the "Save" features is about keeping history of your saved work. Then yes, to save automatically your file, but not on the same file. Imagine Photoshp crashes saving your…
Hey everyone! I just got into scripting a couple of days ago and I want to start tracking my progress and potentially get some pointers and some feedback from more advanced scripters. I'm still very new and my stuff is super simple, so don't get your hopes up for anything awesome. Here's the first script that I made. I got…
