MaxScript for Unwrap UVW

Submitted by mambrus on Tue, 2023-06-13 09:15

Hello everyone,

I am trying to automate my UV Unwrapping - but the script is not working properly.

Background:

I have several Objects with the exact same mesh - but after manipulating these models (scaling) I want to automate the pelt-mapping of the uvs.

Since all object have a copy of the same mesh, I simply tried to apply the "edit seams" of my pelt mapping and perform a "quick-peel", but the first step "applying edit seams" does not work.

Here is what I do:

for i in selection do (
--enter Unwrap modifier
i.modifiers[#Unwrap_UVW]

-- faces subobjectLevel

ELEMENT WITH HIGHEST POLYGONS NUMBER COUNT IN ONE OBJECT

Submitted by rvidal on Sat, 2023-05-06 08:05

Hello guys,
It has been a while since I start looking for this solution, but nothing.

I need to find and select the element with the highest poly number count in one object. There is no poly count target number, it is totally aleatory.

Another approach would be detaching the elements into objects and find the object with the highest poly number count in this object array selection.

Make referenced objects unique?

Submitted by Linkitch on Wed, 2023-05-03 23:17

I’m having trouble with something I figured would be trivial to achieve with the built-in functions.

I have a bunch of reference objects, which I would like to turn unique, without affecting the modifiers on top.

But for some reason I can’t get InstanceMgr.MakeObjectsUnique function to work. It works fine on instances, but not on references.
The InstanceMgr.CanMakeObjectsUnique also returns false, whenever I try it on a reference.
