This is a Simple Pulley system. It creates an anim controller for your crate. Naturally, there ain't no rope in it :). Can be used for linear pulling or winching.

 

Hey this is very likely to be my last 'share' folks. Just that I don't wanna clutter you with anymore 'gimmicky' stuff....or 'junk'. It's been a good learning experience for me. Thanks very much to all those who helped me. You know who you are.

Just a humble contribution on my journey to master MCG, I really sweated trying to find my way around MCG :p, sorry the setup is a bit messed up.
This tool as the name tells allows you to extrude any shape with some added capabilities over the normal extrude modifier.

MCG Orbit

Here's a basic mod of the Orbit MCG. It allows you to change the plane of orbit. Very simple but I gotta start simple first...as usual...

Ver 1.01: Allows user to choose the orbit plane more easily, ie. orbit Around which of the 3 axis. Then use Tilt Axis to adjust rotation.

Max 2016 EXT1 has been released and there are new ops for MCG, ie. Bullet Physics. There is a bug with the compound GetCentreOfMass. Here's where I posted the bug, you may need to join the FB group to read:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1611269852441897/search/?query=GetCenter...

and so here's my compound to be used until a fix is released. It does NOT require EXT1.

Note: if you want Max 2016 EXT1, you have to install Max 2016 SP1 first.

MCG Clip Mesh Faces

This basic MCG clips the faces of your mesh. It is intended for beginners to look at and study...so if you want to poo poo me and/or MCG, I won't waste time/energy replying. For others who are keen to learn, this is a nice, easy one.

This is a variant of the the CloneOnVerts but will affect only faces/verts that are facing somewhat down. It is quite rudimentary and due to performance issues with MCG right now...it remains...rudimentary. However, I see this is just a stepping stone for later on...

This MCG creates a weave pattern.

Thanks to har1sf0x who wrote the h_flipNormals compound !!! came in handy.

Ver 1.01.00: Added logic for seamlessness if to be bent into a tube. So when you bend so that the top meets the bottom (and Welder added) it will be seamless. Also added Skew options just for finer adjustments.

MCG Mass Flatten Slice

This MCG will flatten your object in X, Y, or Z, in either direction. Can be used on a single object or en masse. Can be flattened with absolute (local) value or percentage.

 I've added Slice into this and since the modifier name is now Vu_MassFlattenSlice...you can delete the old Vu_MassFlatten
