Cupboard/Bookcase

Submitted by har1sf0x on Thu, 2015-06-25 09:06

Hello there.

I created a Cupboard/Bookcase primitive. Unfortunately it has no UVs. There are included some usefull compounds that I created (the h_create_box is under further development for UVs and a new weld compound because the default weld messes the vertex order).

Enjoy

Delta Mush MCG graph

Submitted by carlosa on Wed, 2015-10-28 00:28

Seems people ask for this all the time... mcg is not the best for delta mush implementation at the moment but it is possible, the relax is done as a separate modifier to address issues with speed, and the fact that mcg relax compound doesn't give as good results at the one is the relax modifier in max.

Filter Array by another Boolean array:

If you have two arrays with the same amount of items and one of them contains boolean values, you can filter the second array using those boolean values by using this compound.

MCG + DCP Hitchcock Size

Submitted by vusta on Tue, 2016-12-13 20:28

2 ways to get your geo to stay constant size 'on screen'.

MCG uses cache method...which unfortunately is not permanent after you close/reopen a saved file, I suggest you Point Cache it out..or export as Alembic...etc... The DCP method will stick after you closed/reopened the file...but not everyone might have 2017.1.....so use the MCG. A pic does nothing to illustrate this...you'll simply have to watch the video...

MCG Centre of Mass

Submitted by vusta on Sat, 2015-07-18 02:09

This MCG calculates the Centre of Mass for an odd/asymetrical shape object. The Max centre to object uses a bounding box that does not suit odd shapes. This will find the COM by Volume or Verts distribution.

MCG ConnVerts

(if anyone even contemplates suggesting me calling it Plexus...you can GAGF)

PF + Mesher + Connverts:

https://www.facebook.com/vustarama/videos/1727204060941423/

ver 1.01: for use with Particles (whether PF or Sprays) + Mesher, use Every Nth so that you treat each mesh as a 'particle' rather than multiple verts in a mesh.....but there's nothing to stop you from using it on a normal mesh like plane, box, teapot.....to achieve different effects...
