Rotate Unwrap UVW modifier gizmo 90*

Submitted by wiesner on Mon, 2012-07-16 09:31

Does anyone know if there is a simpler way to target the gizmo in the Unwrap UVW modifier (not the UVW Mapping modifier) and rotate it 90 degrees though maxscript?
I am currently using the unwrap5.setGizmoTM matrix but this isn't accurate enough for what I am trying to create.

Any help is appreciated.

Random rotate

randomly rotate uvw map mod

rollout t "Test"
(
	local mymod = (UVWMap())
 
	button b "Create UVWMap"
	button b2 "Random"
 
	on b pressed do
	(
		mapMod = UVWMap maptype:4
		addmod =  for i in selection do addModifier i (mapMod) ui:on
	)
 
	on b2 pressed do 
	(
		for i = 1 to selection.count do
		(
			obj = selection[i]
			giz =obj.modifiers[1].gizmo
			val = (random -360 360)
			giz.rotation = (angleaxis val [1,1,1]) as quat
		)
	)
 
)

example

I came up with this
I use Box object with UnwrapUVW Mod with BoxMap projection

unwrapTM = $Box001.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW].getGizmoTM()
tp = unwrapTM.translationpart
--rotate about Z-axis
rot = rotateZ unwrapTM 90
rot.row4 = tp
$Box001.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW].setGizmoTM rot
