Meshtools and Max 5

[ToddD]

They are in a folder on the second CD. Just a side note, if you also use CSpolytools, you may want to just install 2.5 as they depend on the code from meshtools 2.5 to work and do not work with meshtools 3.0.

Slide Edgeloops seems to be the only action not supported from CSPolytools with Meshtools 3. I think its because it calls the edgeloop function from Meshtools 2.5 which is now incorporated into Max 5. If you can live without Slide Edgeloops then you should be fine using both together. :)

Spoke too soon, there is one other action not supported ... Remove Interior Edges from Polys (Dissolve) ... but you can do this within Max 5 with the Remove function.

What is CSPolytools? And where can i find a copy of meshtools 3 for max? I would really like to just do things the old fashioned way with my handy meshtools brand toolbar with all those nifty features. I dont like the way max handles it. Is CSPolytools just as good?

[driverjase]

You should find Meshtools 3 on your 2nd (I think) Max CD under scripts/Samples/laszlo_Scripts.zip.
As far as CSPolytools, they are even more poly editing functions that add onto what Max and Meshtools have to increase speed and productivity.
They both can be added into a toolbar, or quad menu like I use which seems the easiest for me. I've got all of the Max poly editing functions on one quad and the Meshtools and CSPolytools on another. :)

is CSPolytools on the CD also? Or is that a separate plugin?

Hi All... Happy news for ya all:


I Just want to tell everyone that I have recompiled/ rewriten some code so CSpolytools works perfect for 3DsMax 5.

The thing I'm doing now it putting all the best tools into one Polytools Pack.

So it will be the best, because It allways select the most intelligent soloution. Ex. connect act very different, depending on if your using max5 connect, mjPolytools connect or meshtools connect.

A couble of weeks and I have everything ready for ya all
:thumbsup: :wip:

are these Meshtools 3 available on the max 5 demo cd and where/how do i install them /? thx @!!

[driverjase]

I'm not positive but I don't think they're on the demo CD, they're on the 2nd CD that comes with Max. You can however download Meshtools 2.5 from here (http://www.scriptspot.com/scripts/web_upload/Meshtools_2_5.zip) which is basically the same except it also includes more functions that are now incorporated directly into Max 5. As far as CSPolytools, you can go to here (http://www.3dluvr.com/subagio/cspolytools.html) to read about and download them.
