Quad Chamfer
Version:
1.55
Date Updated:
06/22/2011 Quad Chamfer is a 3Ds Max script that produce all quad chamfers, unlike the normal 3ds Max chamfer which produces a lot of triangles.
Here are some of the benefits you get:
•You get better results if you use Quad Chamfer in conjunction with turbosmooth
•No more unwanted pinching
•Great topology
•And many more other benefits over the normal chamfer

Update price ?
Great job, but if we buy one version, must we pay again 20€ for each new update?
Quad Chamfer modifier
Hi Rascal,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm currently making it as a modifier.
I have a wip thread over at Polycout.

Hey obliviboy,
this is a very nice script you have here but it would be much better to have it as a modifier.
Since you never tried edgechex, there are 2 mayor benefits it has.
- it lets you do your chamfer edges exactly where you have your smoothing groups setup which is an indispensable feature for the highpoly creation process.
- you can make changes on your base mesh on the fly whenever you feel like without having the final chamfer put into your geometry! All it takes is to switch the modifier on and off.
With these features it would be a bomb.
Cheers, rascal
If I put your macro in a quad
If I put your macro in a quad menu it's always visible, I've modified it taking some code from standard max chamfer:
(
On IsEnabled Return Filters.Is_EPolySpecifyLevel #{3,4}
On IsVisible Return Filters.Is_EPolySpecifyLevel #{3,4}
on execute do
(
scriptFile = (GetDir #scripts) + "\\QuadChamfer_1_52.mse"
if (doesFileExist scriptFile) then
fileIn scriptFile
else
messageBox "Unable to locate the script." title:"ERROR!!!"
)
)

Great update!
Found a little bug: if I select some edges, lauch quadchamfer, set preview to semi-realtime, change the edge seletion, it always chamfer the initial selection.
To change the chamfered edges I need to turn off the preview, change edge selection, turn on the preview.
Do you plan to support also edit poly modifiers or only edit poly objects?
thanks

shopkeeper there will be no modifier support for now
I haven't tried EdgeChEx but I only heard bad things about it.
My customers never complained about unsmooth chamfers with my Quad Chamfer. I can say that my script delivers what it promises.
There will be no demo version but if you buy it and you are not satisfied with it you can ask for you money back.

Modifier Support?
Any luck with getting this to work as a modifier?
I tried the alternative version of this script which does have modifier support but the quad chamfering was kind of suspect. Lots of unusual distortions in the rounding. How does the chamfering in your script compare? Will you be releasing a demo version so we can also try it before investing?
pixela the updates are

kolts yes it works on open edges.
shopkeeper it would create the same topology on edges of an interior.
