Re: Geo-loop
we already have it, i use it all the time... http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/modeling/c/equalize-continuous-edges?software_version=2009 the example pic is doing it a different way, but it also has the functionality your looking for, if you select a loop is going around the tube and not down it..… -
Re: Geo-loop
humm getting an error Just a wild stab in the dark, probably wrong, but it looks like a if/else loop might be using do instead of then? At least when I change do to then it works, I didn't dig too long to see what that does or how it changes things but it seems to work... /shrug. -
Re: Geo-loop
That would be a nifty tool. Sometimes I will ask our artists to up res a cylindrical model like a barrel which looks too faceted. It would be great if they could just add the extra edge loops click the button and have a perfect cylinder at a higher res. Cody let me know when you have finished writing this. -
Geo-loop
Anyone familiar with Geo poly from polyboost? You select a face, of any number of sides, hit it, and it makes the poly perfectly planar and equi-angular. So an 8 sides face becomes a perfect octagon. This is handy for extruding perfect cylinders that will smooth into perfect cylinders. But, I want a geo loop tool. Let's… -
Re: Geo-loop
Yes, it calculates the average plane for every loop it works on, and is not affected by active Axis Constraints. It could be an option, triggered pressing a modifier key like CTRL or SHIFT while starting the calculation. I can work on it if you consider it important, but the top priority is to make it work bug-free on… -
Re: Geo-loop
Thanks for the report. Have you tried to press ESC when it seems frozen? The average function has got a "while loop" that keeps going until angles and edges reach the defined tolerance to be considered regular. There's an ESC condition that allows to exit from the loop and abort the command. The script has been developed… -
Re: Geo-loop
How do you want it to work? I'm figuring out the logic and came to a couple of questions: Is every vertex in the edge loop modified to fit the regular shape, or is there a fixed point and the other just slide around? I guess it's easier to have a fixed point to start the calculation. How do you like it? Do you want to take… -
Re: Geo-loop
Polyboost has such feature, under "loop tools" there is a "circle" command. The only problem is that it doesn't work right if there are any poles on the loop(vertices with more than 4 edges connected to them). So , in the case of callapsed edges, it won't work. -
Re: Geo-loop
Just tried newest version. Now the average doesn't hang, but it does leave me with a non planar loop. It actually started as planar, but not circular, and after running the script it is circular but not planar. This was just a basic 6 sided cylinder with two loops collapsed down to 5. -
Re: Geo-loop
I just read my own post and it sounds like broken english from a eastern european. Sorry I have the flu right now. So I created a 6 sided cylinder, deleted the top and the bottom cap face. Now I add two more edge loops to make it an 8 sided cylinder, then I select the top edge loop to make it into a symmetrical 8 sided…
