Adding that would be great.

Adding that would be great. And I'd rather the UVW xform modifier to change/randomise the UV's as opposed to manipulation of the UVW Map gizmo anyway. Look forward to the update.

Sorry Stephen, Transform only works in nodes with an UVWmap modifier applied.

As far as I know, there is no exposed method to maxscript to manipulate uvw coordinates (at least not one that doesn't require a lot of low-level programming...)
the Best I can do, is to add an option for adding individual UVW Xform modifiers in a single step.

Regards!

This tool doesn't allow to

This tool doesn't allow to randomly move, scale UV's after you unwrap them. If it did then it would be awesome. The UVW xform is slow having to modify each object separately.

I'd be very grateful if this could be implemented. Thanks.

I will look foward for the error, I must forgot something...  I just updated the script with the fix.

I understand what you say about Gizmo oriented to face normal, but cince aligment options for UVWmaps isn't exposed to maxscripts, the only way its to recreate it, it can be done, but its a lot of work.

Hi Ariel, finally you did! All new features sounds great, but I have some questions

I can't use Advanced Transforms. APPLY, FIT and CENTER send me and error (see attached)

When you work with select faces, scripts put one uvw fitted for all select faces. It can be useful, of course, but I think would be good an option to put an individual uvw in each face oriented to its z normal

Less important. In Map Dimension I have 100m by default, I see in your capture 1m and it would be right. 100m or 10000cm seems to be too high for default number

Thanks!

Hi vividini!. Like to hear

Hi vividini!.
Like to hear the tool it's useful to you. I've partially implemented element subselection, and you random transformations its a nice suggestion. I itend to add too an option for random select appli ID's to elements too.
I will leave this script at it is, and relase a full featura one, hopefully soon.

Greets.

Very nice Ariel, I think you

Very nice Ariel, I think you can add two things and you would have a perfect all in one for rapid uvs.

First, randomize parameters. Transform, rotate, scale. There are some nice scripts here and maybe you can implement code fastly. For rotate, aleatory valours from a degree to other, but would be useful you can put fixed valours. For example. 90, -90, 180, -180... and random only take this valours.

Second, work in suboject level. Polygon or element. Now is easy detach all element, run your script and then attach elements, but an all in one would be great ;)

By the way, if you can leave all as you have, for me is a very useful script

Thanks

Added Real world scale

Added Real world scale feature you asked for, also, some bugfixes, hope it will be useful.
