hi, thanks for the replies. i've read the tutorial and tried selecting the edges but when i run the script nothing happens. to 'run' the script i downloaded the text, opened the maxscript window and pasted in the code, then saved as new script. i then select my edges, run script (i.e. click on 'Maxscript' menu and then on…
hi guys, i just stumbled on this SUPERB script but i have very little experience using scripts and can't get it to work. could anyone please explain in layman's terms how to do what is shown above? when should i run the script? before or after connect?:poly007: i'm using max 2008
first connect, then the script select edges as seen in the gif (each series must have lenght of 3 edges), and run the script. With the dialog version you can change the distance to outer endpoints. (just interactively move the spinner with dragged mouse)
ahhhh - ok, thanks for that. feel like an idiot for not knowing how to use this. thanks to everyone for your help and patience, and to CrazyButcher and Per for the script.
A little delayed birthday present for Per, on whose request this script was done. It allows straigthening of connected edge selections the gif illustrates the use paired with regular ring selection + insetting polys script is over at my page or at scriptspot http://crazybutcher.cottages.polycount.com/code/_3dsmax.html…
wow, after messing around with it, this is one of the handiest little scripts i have ever seen. expecially on technical modeling. there is no equivalent tool really. saves TONS of time. thanks, this is a winner.
It's a macroscript, it gets added to the customisation menu, it doesn't activate each time. You only need to run the script once, then look in Customize User Interface for the shortcut, and either add it to a Quad Menu or a hotkey.
Thanks Crazybutcher and Per for the tutorial and the script. However, just so I understand, why can't the other Connect options (slide and pinch, I think, although I can't remember for sure) be used for the same effect?
