Null chamfer

By 5k · 2011-08-21

Description

Hi! This is my first maxscript. It helps to making high-polygonal looks chamfer, but mesh stay pretty low-polygonal:


	convertToMesh $
	meshop.chamferEdges $ $.selectedEdges 0
	meshop.chamferEdges $ $.selectedEdges 0.3
	meshop.weldVertsByThreshold $ $.verts 0.001
	meshop.autoSmooth $ #{1..$.numfaces} 360
	ConvertTo $ Editable_Poly
	update $

When I making high-polygonal models I often use this method of creating chamfers to save my polycont. So I decided to write script for this.
As I sad this is my first maxscript and I not sure if it optimised enough. Will appreciate for any crits and comments.

In 3ds max go to "MAXScript -> New script", paste this code:


macroScript nullChamfer
	category:"DragAndDrop"
	toolTip:""
(
	convertToMesh $
	meshop.chamferEdges $ $.selectedEdges 0
	meshop.chamferEdges $ $.selectedEdges 0.05
	meshop.weldVertsByThreshold $ $.verts 0.001
	meshop.autoSmooth $ #{1..$.numfaces} 360
	ConvertTo $ Editable_Poly
	update $
)

press "Ctr+E" to evaluate script.
Then go to "Customize -> Customize User Interface" and find "DragAndDrop" in Category list for assign hotkey. After this select the edges and press your hotkey.

not download?
