VB. As for selecting like that, it's kind of like zbrush where you have to encompass the entire face to select it, at least by default. "When selecting polygon or edge components, the behavior is controlled by the Surround Polygons and Surround Edges options under Rectangle Select Options in your Tools > Select…
Is there a selection type in XSI similar to Max when you are in Element mode where you get to select a piece of geometry not welded together from a whole geometry? Is there a script or plug-in out there that can do this kind of selection type in XSI? If so please share. It just saves me a lot of time from selecting the…
Also maybe you can help me with this: thanks again Why is that when I try to select polygons with the square marquee, I am not selecting all of the polygons inside the "marquee selection" itself but only a few. Is there a way to change this?
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…
Hi there, I find myself learning XSI lately for work reasons, and being really used to 3ds max... I have some questions about some stuff I couldnt figure out yet. If you can help me that ll be great. I really feel that XSI is great, even though I dont know that much yet, but it does seem very intuitive. Ok here it goes: 1)…
Not off the top of my head, as the XRay is a camera/viewport effect. I imagine a similar effect could be achieved with a script that toggles the transparency value of the selected object's material, but I currently lack the knowledge to make it know which object is selected. Edit: I've done a little digging, and I think I…
"Prevents the Rectangle selection tool from selecting elements that are occluded behind other elements in Hidden Line Removal, Constant, Shaded, Textured, and Textured Decal viewing modes. This option is ignored if Override Object Properties is off in the Display type menu of a viewport." The preferences should save…
thanks Ark! I'll take a look! Its been only couple days but I am getting speed up quickly! Also I think the equivalent of FF4 box deform, is 'lattice' in XSI. But I am not sure how it works, usually in max you do a vertex selection (points) and then apply FF4. when I do a selection inXSI and apply deform by lattice, it…
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…
