Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
I do not use modo so I am not sure if this is what you are asking but I will toss it out there... If you want an object to share the local axis of a different object you can always go into the hierarchy panel and click the "affect pivot only" button and then use the align tool to match objectA's pivot and rotation to… -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
Hey GetDown, After messing around with Modo a little bit, then going back to Max, I started to rely more and more on the autogrid feature to somehow emulate local action centers. For instance if I need to create a rather complex 'plug' on the surface of an object, I create a plane or a cylinder on the surface, with… -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
I may be wrong, but what ironbearxl suggested is how I used to do it. But you have to turn on snaps and set pivot to Use Selection Center to have the transform point snap to where you want it. Transforming About Snapped Points You can transform a sub-object selection from a temporary pointsuch as rotating forearm vertices… -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
you sill can set pivot points to dummies or other objects to rotate around, but thats tedious modo is far superior in that manner. -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
Are you needing this for every sub object or just edges? Seems like I mainly use it on edges in modo but I barely use the program.... still would be nice to have it max. I have something kind of working so I was curious as to how extensive you need it to be. -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
I should mention this script will only work in max 2008 and up. 2008 it when Autodesk added in the working pivot. I've only tested it in Max 2009. Edit: Corrected a small pivot point bug and re-uploaded. There is also a bug where the normals are not correct on heavily NU scaled object. That bug will not be fixed but you… -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
Sounds like vectors in Wings 3d, using them, any of the commands, you can adjust them in any way that is defined on any subobjects or objects(move in direction of edge, rotate around any vertex, flatten to that vertex in that direction, etc). I've tried Max and thats the one thing I hate about it. I dont get how people… -
Re: Anything like Modo's action centre to Element, for Max?
Ok I've got this script working now (with much help from SyncViewS). Basically it uses the normals of your subobject selection to align the working pivot. It doesn't have fancy selection highlighting like modos and you have to drop your current selection to set the working pivot but it helps with quickly aligning the…
