Top Scripts List

God if your a modeler you've got to have CPS!! I'm not really the best modeler and CPS has helped me in ways I couldn't have even imagined. Also another cool things is that when your skinning you can bind your skeleton to the low-rez base and its cake to control the weight influence and get clean controlled deformations on your hi-rez proxy. If you've never tried cps, try it... and if you don't have it ...get it. Also check out MJPoly tools I just started using them and theres some cool things they can do.

if you are considering poly modelling a lot i recommend that you check out wings3d (http://www.wings3d.com) - you might have heard of it - i didn't know that poly modeling could be that easy

for maya's user interface i recommend the GOA* scripts - well, i wrote them :) (http://www.highend3d.com/maya/mel/?group=melscripts&section=interface)

GOACameraBookmarkDude - easy setting and recalling of camera bookmarks

GOAToggleFullScreen - easy full screen toggling

GOAToggleViewportColor - cycle your viewport background colors (bright/mid/dark)

cps and mjpolytools are a must have

the project manager from imre tuske is pretty handy too - it will automatically ask you to change your project when you open a scene from a different project - pretty hand and not intrusive

SwitchGrid to increase and decrease grid resolution on the fly (assigned to hotkeys alt+ alt-) ( http://www.highend3d.com/maya/mel/?section=interface#1415 )

ctrl-c to clear selection

reassigned 1,2,3 to switch between vertex,edge and face selection - 0 for object mode


i hope that helps

Very cool. Thanks to both of you fine sirs!

I'm started with CPS, and ran into a little snag. As you can see from the attached .jpg, my cpsControl window is jacked.

Any idea why this is? I've copied the all the scripts into my scripts/startup folder. Is that what I'm suppose to do?

Please exuse my ignorance when it comes to scripts, I'm obviously just now trying to use them.

thanks,

you guys weren't kidding, I'm not sure how I've lived with out the Cut Face tool. god knows how many hours i needlessly wasted clicking on edges.

i can seem to figure out what the Wedge Face does?

...another question. :shame:

how do i get the switchGrid setup?

thanks again,
m

[stunndman]

create two custom commands in the hotkey editor

switchGrid(true); // increase resolution

and the other one

switchGrid(false); // decrease resolution

then assign hotkeys to your two custom commands - i have put them on alt+ and alt-
