MJ Poly Tools beta

[jonaz.dk]

hehe.. sounds interesting mikkel..

i'll check it out later..

why are you doing them for max anyway? not that i'm complaining... =O)



(og lige for en god ordens skyld.. du staver aaaaltid function forkert.. det er med c for dælen) :rolleyes: ;)

[Mikkel Jans]

Becouse Max still needs some Poly Tools for it to be complete.
And it's Very easy to create poly tools in Max.. So i can create tools in Max that i won't be able to create in Maya without being a c++ expert.


( Nåh ja ;D... Sådan )

[jonaz.dk]

ok.. that's cool..
you little maya freak..

[jonaz.dk]

the link is not working..

[Mikkel Jans]

I have taken it off my site because of a bug that crashed Max.. It will be up soon when the bug is fixed

[Mikkel Jans]

The link should work now.. And the bug is fixed

[jonaz.dk]

cool.. looks like it's working great.. =O)

Mikkel - do you think it's possible to create plugin keyboard shortcuts on installation?
that could be kinda cool.. so you wouldn't have to drag icons and shit around..

[Mikkel Jans]

maybe

[-JT-]

Hard to compete with meshtools but great move anyway, it's always nice of some people to try and improve modelling tools ! :beer:

[Mikkel Jans]

Thanks.

I'm not gonna compete with meshtools but only give some tools which meshtools doesn't have like MultiLoopSplit which i use all the time in Maya.

[gundog]

much appreciated. makes working between max and maya even better.

Jonas.dk > allmost everything is accesable as keyboard shortcuts... also all the script you install

Customize > Customize User Interface > keyboard > catagory ..then select the catagory the script is installed into !!!

great stuff! thanx a bunch! =)

tho i think i discovered a "bug"

when i selected an edge to use multi loop split it worked great when the edge was in the middle of the shape but if i selected one of the edge at top or below it didn t do it right...

I have made an avi showing this, tell me if you re interrested to see it =)

[jonaz.dk]

@Devil
yup I know.. I'm just too lazy to do it my self.. (really depends on how much I'm using the feature ofcause)

imagine all the perfect polymodeling tools with automatic keyboard shortcuts.. already placed in the WASD area..
and a key to exit plugin keyboard mode.

well well.

[WarlockXKZ]

Great tools man!

I just love the multi loop split, very useful, will certainly save me big time.

Thanks dude! :thumbsup:

[dvornik]

Could you make the original edge deselected after the loop split? So just the loop remains selected? That way it's easier to manipulate it after that.

[Mikkel Jans]

Thanks!.

Some of the plans i have for MJ Poly Tools is:
All Bugs fixed
Connect Edges X Times ( where Meshtools can do 1/2/3 )
DivideEdges X Times
MultiRingSelect
MultiLoopSplit X Times
LoopSplit X Times
Deselect the Orginal Edges

And then i will try to make a Auto Quad to the splits but i'm not sure yet how it should work.

I just went through your neat tutorial on Modeling a Head in Maya, very nice tutorial indeed :)
Just wanted to ask you, where can I find "Connect Poly Shape "?
And why you find it "useful / convenient"?

Thanks in advance Mikkel,

[Mikkel Jans]

Connect Poly Shape is a Maya script.
It's so you can work with a low poly object and auto control the smoothed object... like Max NURMS.
You can find it on Highend3d.com

[TheDevil[DK]]

MCEPoly_NURMS ...the same script in max !

[javierdl]

Thanks a lot Mikkel, got it!
Although I didn't find it at Highend.com, thanks for the good link, it's in my bookmarks now :)

For those that can't find it there either:

what does loopsplit do

[Mikkel Jans]

The same as first doing a RingSelect and then Connect Edges.

[Alderian]

cool
