Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
Apologies for the bump. I really want this feature back, even in script form. IPackThat is great for the end-packing but I want to be able to relax verts and rescale and all that other fun stuff without worrying about my overlaps getting separated while doing so. Is anyone able to create a script for this purpose? -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
Yea it isn't designed to weld anything, just update vert positions. Sorry, I should have explained it better before. Welding stacked objects isn't possible anymore, even as a script. In fact, it seems AD removed all references to it in the documents several years ago (and they only host documents online as far back as Max… -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
It can easily be done as a script (or at least synchronizing the vert positions can be). The problem is processing the data quickly. Maxscript is not a fast language, and iterating over and matching the positions of thousands / tens of thousands of vertices could take a long time. Anyhow, here's a simple/unoptimized script… -
3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
Remember when Max used to allow you to weld vertices that were on top of one another? So if you had a mirror part, you could weld the mirrors vertices on top of the otherside versus just having the vertices in the same place. Why you ask? Because when I drag things around or use the packing ability in max, it just makes… -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
So I'm working on a jet right now. It's got windows cut-in with some depth. I want the windows to sit in the holes in the fuselage instead of being offset somewhere else on the map due to LOD constraints. The script works beautifully - the only thing it isn't doing is welding the windows to the fuselage in the UV editor.… -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
Well, it's certainly the next best thing, so thank you for creating it! :) I'm quite surprised that they would completely remove that ability. Fun fact, though, I can get stacked welded shells occasionally from kicking something back from IPackThat. I'm not sure what causes that behavior, but it's apparently still… -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
I can only sit in awe of the skill required to code anything useful. I'll try that out tomorrow. Thank you so much! -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
Yeah, tis true. Not happy with their implementation either (for being a good idea in theory). Though I'm sure the creator of Polyunwrapper could probably start supporting them at some point, if enough interest is shown. -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
That unfortunately does not work with tools like Polyunwrapper 4, and it won't work with relaxing IIRC. -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
Have you tried using groups in Max's UV editor?
