Cropping all material texture the same.... how?

Submitted by short_cirkuit on Sun, 2021-12-19 17:12

Hi all

I have this common issue where lets say i have a diffuse map, reflection and normal map and its a LEAF atlas downloaded from megascans. If i wanted to crop/place so that i extract only 1 leaf, i usually do it manually and adjust the map so that its the same co-ordinates for each texture - is there a simpler way to this via a script? I realise there is the bezier flaot thing that can possibly do this? but i was hoping there is a script out there to help with this?

Cheers

Rotation of one object relative to another

Submitted by freemanpro on Tue, 2022-08-23 15:05

Hello . I'm trying to rotate one object relative to another. But it's not like it doesn't work so that when the slider changes, it's smooth.

In 1 case, I managed to make it rotate, but there it constantly adds value when the slider changes.
In 2 cases, I managed to make a smooth rotation, but for some reason it rotates relative to 0 coordinates.

Help solve the problem.

Does anyone have this script still? I can't download it from the site and his webpage is down.

DotNet Draw in Label

Hi. It’s not like it’s impossible to make the text be on top of the DrawRectangle during the Draft and after releasing the MouseUp everything goes back.

    try(destroydialog drawRol) catch()
    rollout drawRol "Draw in Label"

Save the transform relative to another object when transforming.

Submitted by freemanpro on Sat, 2022-08-13 05:17

Help . Hello. There are for example 3 points. How to get a transform matrix of 1 point when transforming 2 points to 3, so that the position and rotation itself is also preserved between 1 and 2 point. (as if point 1 was linked to point 2)

ObjT = $Point002.transform
TrgtT = $Point003_Point.transform
OffT = $Point001_Point.transform

TmOffset = TrgtT * inverse ObjT

in coordsys local TmOffset .rotation = inverse (TmOffset.rotation as quat)
TmOffset.pos += TmOffset.pos

gwText unregister when mouse move

Submitted by tosyk on Sat, 2022-07-16 02:17

Hi, I want the text I draw to be hidden after mouse move/pan/rotate or over time in viewport.
Here's my code:

(
	global GW_displayText
	unregisterRedrawViewsCallback GW_displayText
	fn GW_displayText = (
		rect = (box2 13 47 96 97)
		gw.Hrect rect red
		gw.hMarker (point3 20 207 0) #smallDiamond color:yellow
		gw.hText (point3 27 200 0) ("This is not a Standard material. Actual typ1e:") color:yellow
		gw.enlargeUpdateRect #whole 
		gw.updateScreen()
	)
	registerRedrawViewsCallback GW_displayText
)

edge slice not work

Submitted by dussla on Mon, 2022-06-13 01:00

hi
i made this script.
but that is not work.

this script is to slice with 1 selected edge on topview

pls help

myobj = selection[1]
polyOp.getEdgeSelection selection[1]
local edgeVerts = polyOp.getEdgeVerts selection[1] 1
local edgeVerts2 = polyOp.getEdgeVerts selection[1] 2
p1 = (polyOp.getVert selection[1] edgeVerts[1])
p2 = (polyOp.getVert selection[1] edgeVerts2[1])
myobj.slice [p1[2]-p2[2],p2[1]-p1[1], 0] [p1[1]-myobj.pos[1], p1[2]-myobj.pos[2],-myobj.pos[3]]
