DCP Particle Speed

1 vote

bit of a hack to display Particle Speed...where the particles ARE that is...

Extract preset to:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\DataChannelPresets

Then in your DCM (on a Mesher that is, coz DCM needs a mesh to work on, it can't work directly with PF), load it as a Preset.

ver 1.01: Maxscript op now will use correct (auto) frame rate

The request is:

[quote]

Suppose user "A" is in subobject level 1 (vertex)... he presses a hotkey ("d"), and he is returned to the top-level....if he presses "d" again, it will go to the last-used subobject level he was previously in, in this case; 1 (vertex).

This script combines the hide unselected and hide poly/mesh command into one hotkey.If an editable poly or editable mesh is selected and it is in subobject mode then it will hide the unselected poly/mesh components.Otherwise the script will hide the unselected objects (as the hide unselected command does in max)

TopCAT

4 votes

"TopCAT is a Scripted Modifier. It lets you expose parameters of modifiers on the stack or the base object to the top of the stack by creating Custom Attributes and wiring them to the original properties. This can be useful to keep all important parameters of large stacks on top of the stack for quick changes. "
