Mesh Tools

[rendermonkey23]

I have my shift+RMB assigned to a bunch of stuff (Meshtools, cspolytools, toggles, lights, you name it). I also have my shift+alt+RMB set up with everything else so the quads dont get to big :)

My system runs like a rock so I have to say that it doesn't make max crash. It's crashed once since I installed XP. :D

for stability didn t saw more crashes...perhaps some CSpolytools functions may cause em...long time i haven t modeled but seems it was em that cause sometimes crash...

I have found that MAX does tend to get unstable when you have lots of non-default macro buttons in the UI. I try to keep things tied to the keyboard whenever possible, and I'm working towards fitting quadmenus into my workflow. I hate toolbars and panels!

[rendermonkey23]

Yeah, I hate toolbars too.

Oh yeah, I forgot... I found the multi bevel to be really unstable. But it says that it is buggy in one of the files included. Cant remember if spin edge is too but everything else works like a champ.

Missing link - Schaumburg...that's cool. Just a little while ago I moved from downtown. Above the house of blues. I dont work in the industry yet but all in good time. It's school time :) . I did a ton of graphic design in chicago before coming out though.

I made some small floating toolbars for different sets of meshtools (selection- modification- an viewport-tools)
you can hide them very easy with a simple shortcut.
I myself dont like to rightclick every time to bring the up the quadmenu for a single tool.
and for the tools I use a lot (like edge loop and connect) I made some easy shortcuts.
