script creation challenge. no AWESOME PRIZES
(UPDATE, created planes need not be segmented) over the years i think of things that would make handy scripts to help my work flow. and since i know nothing about maxscript and am too lazy to learn, i come here and ask some nice polycount scripters to help me out and make them. its suprising that usualy they jump at the… -

CORRECTION i was mistaken in one aspect, the planes do not need to be segmented, just one large 2 tri plane, no segments. keen its used to generate nodes for placing housing items in a zone, like dressers, trees statues and whatever. we end up with about 50k nodes in a file an that really hurts max's preformance, so we… -

After that one tries to find rectangular clusters of them with 1 pixel spacing between them. You didn't really clarify what those clusters are, like if they really were the maximum… -

(UPDATE THE CREATED PLANES DO NOT NEED ANY SEGMENTS) scruples, and Rhjs grid planes need to be lined up with the max grid, and need to be efficient to get thefewwest planes possible to fill up an area (yes my example up top is not perfectly efficient) the planes also need to have verts every .5 meters snapped to max grid.… -

That doesnt justify this strange way of representing 2d point data. It seems like the system was designed with the idea that there would only be rectangle layouts, but now it requires other shapes and you are trying to add layers of complexity on top of the current system to get it to do what you want. From what I… -

What is the data actually used for? This way or generating grid points in a shape seems really strange and I cant imagine why it would be desired over simply checking if each grid point is within the shape and adding a point if it is. This makes me think its used for something like an valid building placement grid for an… -
