Softselection verts a la Max in Maya4.5?

[Briareos]

there is a script that simulates a magnet like tool, its on highend3d, its called dough boy i think, I find it rather crude and not entirely useful. But you might check it out.

Thanks Briareos,

Tried it, wasn't all that great, but thanks anyway, anyone else with suggestions?

I think that's your only option. Not 100% tho.

check out the Bonus Game package on AW site.......it has a "Geometry Transmogrifeir" ....its a bit cleaner then Clays Magnet tool....but still a bit of a clumsy interface.

Thanks 2byts,

Will check it out, cheers,

Does the Bonus Game package on AW site work with Maya4.5??

[Slugger]

downloaded it, seems to be for 4.0 only, so I guess it's just a matter of days/weeks until there is a 4.5 version or something, or one could do as said in the readme for 4.0:
"The plugins are compiled for Maya 4.0 on NT. If you are using a different version of Maya or a different operating system, you may download the plugin source from www.aliaswavefront.com and recompile. "

Try the proportional modification tool that is in the standard maya tool set ;)

i am using 4.5.....and bonus game package seems to work fine! install at your own risk though.

Please note that all 4.0 plugins will not work with 4.5....although most(if not all) SCRIPTS will work! .)

I am actually using scripts from 1.0 and 2.0....its only the plugins that need to be recompiled.

Bonus Game has several plugins that have been integrated into 4.5....so dont install any plugins....because 4.5 should already have it -which means you will be able to use most of the tools!

Special note: DO NOT install the updated UV Texture editor because it replaces(but does not overwrite the default) the 4.0 Texture Editor....you dont want this if you are using 4.5 because the UV texture editor has some new and kick ass menu items. What i ended up doing was customizing the scripts(i am very new with mel) so i could put them on the shelf of 4.5 instead...but still using the icons from 4.0

the proportional modification tool is NURBS only no??

the proportional modification tool is NURBS only no??



Nope, but is opposite to max and XSI's proportional tool. It works within a selection of Vertices, instead of outside.
