Hopefully others can save themselves some time while learning Max and if the also have some questions feel free to post in this thread… -
Re: 3DS maxscript autorig
Layer.addNode $ In this case the word Layer is more than just a word in the lines above I told it that Layer = "get Layer From this Name: MyLayerName" So anytime it sees the word layer it will go looking for a layer with that specific name. Then maxscript has a function called ".addnode" which adds whatever comes next to… -
Re: starting with max
1. I tend to select all vertices and go on Weld, then reduce the threashold to zero. There may be better ways though. 2. If they're the same object then just click again and it'll select another face (so initially the face of the first cube, then the second time the face of the second). If they're different objects then… -
Re: Maxscritp: Stitch Problem
* Convert a UV vertex selection to a Geometry vertex selection * The resulted Geo vertex select and now convert to UV selected verts * substract your inital edge to vertex UV selection you should have the counter vertex selection in UV space which you can convert back to an edge selection.

It does what you ask, select vertices/normals and align em to a face. What I do is have the "type-in dialog" open (polygon menus. Normal… -
Re: Weight paint in Blender
Hi! Looking at the screenshot, I see that in the toolbar the tool is currently set to "Subtract" and you have "vertex selection masking" enabled. So currently you would only be able subtract weight from the vertices that are selected in edit mode. -
Re: Nightshade UV Editor (Maya)
Your tool is a gift ! I love the UI (really smart and pro : it feel the taste of maya) Maybe you can still add few things if you want to improve maya functions. Textools for 3DMax from polycounter Renderhjs is still the best stuff for uv edition inside a full package. It can give you some ideas… -
