Round Borders
Rounds selected borders without messing up topology. After copying the script in your scripts directory, you can find it in Gabi's Tools category.
NOTE: It works only with Editable Polys.
Spherify Normals
Inspired by Normal Thief maxscript.
Unlike Normal Thief, my script takes normals from object's "bounding sphere". The sphere's center corresponds to object's pivot. SpherifyNormals is not projection-based which means is a lot faster than Normal Thief.
NOTE: It works only with Editable Polys.
Project UVs
- This script projects one or more objects' UVs onto another. This is very useful for grass-like objects or decals because:
- - you have to no longer include your grass UVs into your lightmap UV, which results in higher resolution lightmaps
- - the "crossed planes" effect is no longer visible
- - no need to waste time painting it with vertex color anymore
- - you can add/remove as many grass as you want whenever you want
On the left, the red/yellow object's UV coords(channel 1) are being brojected on teapot's coords(channel 1). The ray's direction is taken from object's normals.
NOTE: It works only with Editable Polys.
This time the ray's direction is taken from camera.
Usage:
- 1. Run script (MAXSscript -> Run script...)
- 2. Press ">Reference Object<" button and pick your reference object (ground in this case)
- 3. Select the objects you want to project (grass in this case)
- 5. Select direction
- 6. Select the UV channel you want to project
- 7. Press "Project" button or check "Dynamic Update"
Known Issues:
- Do not place objects on seams because you'll end up having really stretched UVs.
SunLight - Color per Vertex
This script has been created for automatically "vertex-painting" vegetation (crossed planes) based on the sun's position.
NOTE: It works only with Editable Polys.
