MCG Visibility

Control Visibility with a modifier. This way if you create some keys, then come back at some later stage, the modifier stays with the object and you can continue/change the keys...you don't have to find the 'script' that you first used with to create them and drag it back into the viewport.

It works for a selection of objects but I would advise you to be careful with it as it works fine at first but if at some later stage you comeback and select not the same selection...and do some edit, the new keys will apply only to the new selection.

Bob the Boxelizer added some bells and whistles to Christopher Diggins' Voxelizer in the Sample Pack. Probably more useful to mographers....or use Bottom up method to illustrate 3D printing..

Video here: http://1drv.ms/1Itid08

Ver 1.01.00: the voxels are now 'cubic', ie. uniform in all dimensions, not oblong if your orig geo was oblong. Also added option to pick building block instead of default 'box'.

MCG VuCOM compound

Max 2016 EXT1 has been released and there are new ops for MCG, ie. Bullet Physics. There is a bug with the compound GetCentreOfMass. Here's where I posted the bug, you may need to join the FB group to read:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1611269852441897/search/?query=GetCenter...

and so here's my compound to be used until a fix is released. It does NOT require EXT1.

Note: if you want Max 2016 EXT1, you have to install Max 2016 SP1 first.

Annoyed that the default Cylinder doesn't allow more than 200 in Height/Sides/Caps seg count ? Stooooooopid, Zoolinderrr is waaaay betterrrrrerrrr... (ok, there is a limit of 9999 but who's counting ? Especially male supermodels)

Use in cases where you need to stretch your longfellow along a really really long path and you need lots and lots of segs...

(The Weld in MCG is crap so use a Welderrr instead)

No there's no video !!! Just print out this picture and slap it on your bedroom wall....Zooweet dreams...

MCG – InVolume

So, ever wanted to write your own Volume Select modifier. Well, we are sharing a set of compounds with a sample modifier for that purpose :).

So we have taken two approaches to the problem: a “dummy” approach, and a mathematical correct one.
