You are executing a string, execute always works in global scope, not in local one. Everytime you think of using execute, think again - for example here it makes more sense to have an array of rollouts and populate the dropdown with their .name or .title
just show the different bits and pieces. i'd lay them out in an array, like in a lego catalog. give poly count and texture specs for each piece. on a separate page, you could show an example of the pieces working together.
Echoing this. I think the design is quite rubbish (great execution; no disrespect to the artist) but it seems to provide a pretty good opportunity for practice on a wide array of subject matter (materials, anatomy, hard-surface, cloth, etc).
atom + ion = cheap, consumes not much power and has reasonable amount of power if i was to build up a company, for rendering i either would buy an array of atom dualcores with ion or something completely different
Starting this sketchbook with some practice for lighting and composition after marathon playing Dead Space 2. It's just various tubes and and grating copied in an array and then bent, with a swat officer model ( www.blendswap.com/blend/5711 ) made by Chaiwit Jarunyakorn. Critique is quite welcome.
Many object properties are mapped properties, so they can be run on a selection or array. However most modifiers are not mapped, so you need to loop through them. Look up "Mapped Functions" in the Maxscript Help document for a more thorough explanation.
Di$array, I don't think it is over priced for the quality of the product and we are getting some great reviews. There's is nothing to announce at this stage whether it will be available on other devices. I agree you can not beat nostalgia.
Thanks Vig, the only precaution to take is to run through node.modifiers collection backward, from last to first, because it is a dynamic array and if elements are deleted, indexes are arranged to fit new dimension, causing the skip of subsequent modifier.
You could just use boolean operators on the nodes themselves to test for intersection. Objs = getCurrentSelection() You could create a pseudo tree by creating a custom struct that holds the information and store it in an array.
@maze: If you have lots of objects that you want to add a modifier to but like me don't feel like doing it by hand use the following script: PutMod = $ as Arrayfor obj in PutMod as Array do( select obj modPanel.addModToSelection (Uvwmap ()) ui:on) Cheers~
