Mimics 3DStudio inset Message me / post here if you find any bugs. http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/modeling/poly-tools/c/maya-inset-tool -Robot
Hmm... I'm not sure - haven't tried it yet. Try: insetcmd.py here: ~/maya/<version>/scripts inset.pyc here: ../files/lib/python2.4/site-packages/maya/ If that doesn't work let me know.
Noticed a potential feature while watching The Dozer DVD by Eat3D (the parts where grids of holes on the outer armor and front scoop are created by selecting and insetting rows of polygons). Unless I've missed it somewhere, a toggle like the current Maya "Keep Faces Together" would be a good addition for both the extrude…
Trying this tomorrow with fingers crossed. A better extrude would be nice as well. Just something that works like any other modeling app other then Maya.
Yeah, it's missing the pymel lib. You can install it (see pymel reference in maya docs) but i'm in the process of removing it all together so you wont need to.
Glad you like it =) Fixed The undo problem- Maya undo queue is weird. Version 4.1 only need to replace inset.pyc Let me know if you have any requests for the tool Current request list (for the next version) -Add to Edit Poly Dropdown menu -Fix Image cycle for select / deselect tool -Better tool history -Bevel option …
And well you're at it you can make a chamfer edge tool like max for smooth modeling. Byron's is great but crashes Maya all the time, especially when using undo or leaving history on an object.
In Maya 2012 the offset option in the extrude behaves like this script (and how it always should have). I'll say thanks again for this script because I did get alot of use out of it before 2012.
