DQ skinning Copier

3 votes

In previous max versions like max 2016,
when you save the envelopes, it doesn't save the Dual quaternions weights.
Which is a pain when you need to transfer skinning from a model to another for whatever reasons.
The thing is I do quite a lot of rigging and I faced this problem more than once with no out of the box solution.
And I needed to transfer only the DQ weights, not the other envelopes.

So here is a super simple script to do that.

How it works :
1 : select the model which has the DQ weights set. (the skin has to be the first modifier)

Write your plugin in C++\CLI, combine it with Jscript.net, C# or Visual Basic extensions, and wrap everything in LUA or MAXScript code, while being able to attach/detach and update all of your runtime compiled dll files, without having to restart your 3DS Max/Design application. CodeUmbrella provides an interface for code editing, compiling, and automatic .NET class wrapping in MAXScript, making sure that all Native Windows and 3DS Max wrappers are available to your .NET and C++\CLI plugins and MAXScript out of the box.

Generate splines from the normals of mesh vertices.

This script is useful to create quick hair/fur splines or special effects.
It’s an incredibly powerful tool when used in conjunction with TurboSplines script to create things like tentacles, spikes, spines, appendices, etc.

You can set the number of splines, length, number of knots, variation and chaos.

This is a helper script for my AdvArray modifier for 3ds max to give users some preset setups for common array patterns.

This is just the preliminary release, i'll be adding more and updating the script as time goes on. please let me know if you have any suggestions for presets that make sense.

if you don't have the AdvArray modifier, please check it out here: https://apps.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/en/Detail/Index?id=7221085778557027350&...
