Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
On the bottom section of the merge window that will appear when you run the command, you have to click those extra 'merge' buttons to tell XSI to also merge UV coordinates/materials and/or any shape animations/weights you might have on the models being merged. As for the image in the UV editor, you can go up to the Clips… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
Hey thanks guys, yeah now I feel really comfortable. I feel dumb about the "snap" thing....yeah it was on...haha Also turning off "raycast in shaded mode" did the trick so far. I usually only work with lasso tool (I am using a wacom pen in xsi so it gets more natural to use lasso) But for "absolute"selections I ll go with… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
I've never used the 3DS Max keyboard setup, but by default: 1. Top-right of the screen, there's a menu for selection. If you have edges selected for example, you could go to select > adjacent > select adjacent polygons. 2. Holding ctrl toggles (adds or deselects), holding shift always adds to the selection, and holding… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
ICE is a procedural toolset. Much like SideFX's Houdini, although a lot more limited then Houdini. Although I reckon this is only a matter of time. It was originally introduced as a node based particle editor, but it's so much more then that. You can modify geometry, create your own deformers, cloth and IK solvers, etc...… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
cryrid, I've been using your xray script, and works really good. I am now wondering if there is a way to add a code line, so that the xray is applied to only the selected object and not all the objects in the scene as it currently is: setValue "Views.View*.*.camdisp.xraytype", 1 setValue "*.camdisp.xraytype", 1 if getvalue… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
Okay I have another question to ask in terms of scripting. Lets say I want to execute a command that involves a pop up property menu but do it in jscript style. What would be the jscript line of code if say I wanted the Merge property or the Weld Boundary Points/Edges property window to pop up after I have selected my… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
I don't think you can't select every single polygon(face) in one marque selection unless you have "Raycast in Shaded Mode" ticked off. I have the same settings as you do but with "Raycast in Shaded Mode" ticked on. In my experience with Softimage the only sure fire way of selecting every single polygon within the marque… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
1. It's a limitation of the Lasso selection tool I'm afraid. I never got that to work as well... If I need to select half of a mesh, I generally just go into wireframe mode and use the regular rectangle selection tool, or turn of "Raycast in Shaded mode". 2. I take it you are using the snap mode? If you want to prevent… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
It does not do that as a modifier or whatever no, what you can do however is just put on symmetry mode (the sym button next to COG and Prop in the MCP panel). And depending on the selected axis plane, it "blocks" movement on the axis not described in the symmetry plane. So, if you enable symmetry on the YZ plane, X… -
Re: 3ds max user learning XSI
wow cool to see that cryrid, you really know xsi. I ll keep that for reference as well, thanks mate. hey maph, yeah using 2012, havent got my head around ice modelling tools yet. To be frank dont even know what is that, haha. For now I just want to gain the same speed as I have in max. My xsi keyboard layout is 70% custom.…
