MCG Spline Material IDs always zero ?

Submitted by Klonsemann on Mon, 2022-03-21 01:11

Im working on my first MCG and want to mess around with the Spline MatIDs.
The returned array contains all zero, but they are not !
I set the spline segments MatIDs to 1 and 2 by hand.

Am i doing something wrong ?

Delete render elements which start with "mk_"

Submitted by ce89 on Mon, 2022-03-21 07:39

I've been trying to find a way to delete render elements with a certain suffix in the elementname, in my case "mk_" but I cannot seem to find any resources that describe how to do this. There are plenty of resources on adding or deleting all elements but not by the elementname or a ceratin string part.

If you can help in any that that would be super appreciated.

SME selection Callbacks

Submitted by drunkenmaster on Tue, 2022-02-15 03:23

Hello, I have a question.

Is there a way to register user selection changes in SME.
For example I have two material nodes in SME view and want to execute some function when selection is changed.

For viewport selection changes I use this:

fn Subscribe = (callbacks.addScript #selectionSetChanged "MyRollout.VPSlection()" id:#VPSelectionID)

I want to do same thing but not in a viewport but in SME editor:

fn Subscribe = (callbacks.addScript #SMEselectionSetChanged "SMESlection()" id:#SMESelectionID)
fn UnSubscribe =( callbacks.removeScripts id:#SMESelectionID)

controlling a propeller's rotation speed?

Submitted by fael099 on Fri, 2010-11-12 07:44

hi. this have been asked many times, but i just don't seem to get the right answer.
here's the deal:
I have a circle spline that works as my control object. it has an attribute holder with custom attributes on it, a spinner, that will control my propeller's rotation speed.
then i have a point helper, positioned in the rotation axis, wich is this point helper's zero euler Z axis. then my rotor blade objects attached to the point helper, wich doesnt matter right now.

Camera from 2d pan Zoom

Submitted by cuatcside on Thu, 2022-02-17 10:32

Is there a script to create a camera from perspective while in 2D pan zoom mode (lets say 70% zoom ) in one of the viewport?
Or is there a script to save viewport while in 2D Pan zoom mode?
also is there a script to hide the viewport label on upper left corner of the viewport?
Thanks.
