Description:
This script is for animators to Lock any object (great for IK controls) to any temporary parent, such as a handrail or a bone etc, and it bakes the animation. The user can choose to snap the control to the center of the object or with the offset still in place (offset is on by default)

Copy 2 Vert

While i was modeling a cinema i needed a quick way to place instances of a seat all over the place so i wrote this little script.
It aligns Copys/Instances of an object to another objects vertexes, that way i only had to pull a few splines and was done with the seats.

As its only a small tool i dont plan to include it into my ToolSet but for its usefulness i thought others could use it too to save some time so i upload it here.

(macroScript)

Description:
Creates a point dummy, and parents it to the reference object's vertex/center,
using controller expressions.

This is useful to parent other objects to a specific part of a deforming
mesh, or an object whose transforms have been 'baked' (e.g. point cache).

I have found it specially useful, in FX work, for particle/fluid emitters.

Notes:
- Only the 'center' method can be used with splines.
- When using 'vertex' method, the dummy's rotation will align to the

This script has been in my toolbox for a long time, so I’ve taken it out, polished it up, and partnered it with a friend. There are probably other scripts out there that will do this for you but I hope you will find mine intuitive and easy to use.

 

Make planar & UV align commands

Hey, guys.
Just a simple set of commands you can find in the Algomorph Category under Main UI group once you've put the scripts in your Macro folder and run them. These commands don't appear in either MainUI group / Editable Poly category or in the Editable Poly or the Edit Poly group, although they do appear as on-screen rollout buttons.

As far as the UV align X or align Y functionality goes, this doesn't explicitly exist in Max as a shortcut or button command, which is kind-of an old feature that Max was always lacking contrary to some other 3D apps...
