Re: Couple more Maya questions.
SUNCHIRP : If you use the F9-F12 keys rather than right-klick to go in to component mode, it will still only highlight the selected object. All poly tools and actions should be usable without it selecting the child-nodes. When moving objects you have to select the transform nodes, so the hierarchy will be highlighted. If… -
Re: Couple more Maya questions.
Hi, Paul managed to put something together for your other problem. After faffing about with a convoluted way of getting rid of the .mayaSwatches folder, I eventually hit the nail on the head with the following bit of code : - system("rmdir /s /q .mayaSwatches" ); so, as a mel you can create : - file -save;system("rmdir /s… -
Re: Couple more Maya questions.
Actually, ivars, just booted up Maya and tested that, it will leave you with a singular selected object based on it's shape node, so a smooth function can be applied, but as you move into edits or translations, your back into hierarchy selection mode. I think best bets are empty groups, and every object as a child of the… -
Re: Couple more Maya questions.
1. I think Maya always displays the child objects like that. When selecting an object you can tap the down key. That will select the shape-node instead of the transform-node, so any operation will only affect that object. Joints doesn't have shape nodes though. 2. Don't think there's a way around that. I actually like it… -
Re: Couple more Maya questions.
Yeah, I just did a rundown of the scripts in HighEnd3d's "animation" section. I will have a more thorough look tonight, and try some other sites too. I can't believe that nobody has written stuff like this before now. I kinda found a script that incorporates some of Max's weighting tool functions, but it's got a ton of… -
Re: Couple more Maya questions.
Hey, Paul I was just going through my rigging shelf and came across an old script I used to use, but not done much skinning in ages and had forgotten about it. It's called skinny, and you can find it on highend3d at : - http://highend3d.com/maya/downloads/mel_scripts/modeling/misc/Skinny-2950.html was a good find, I had… -
Re: Couple more Maya questions.
Another few questions, this time related to Smooth Bind skinning: 1. Smooth Bind weight gradient shading is not useful In Max, when you rig stuff, you get a nice gradient of red (fully weighted to current joint) down to blue (very low weight on current joint) and then verts which aren't weighted to the selected joint are…
