Push 2

6 votes
Version: 
1.4a

This scripted plug-in was wanted in the forum. It is like the original push modifier but with the option "Straighten Corners" of the shell modifier. You can "push in" and "push out".   -- Update V1.4a --

 

Additional Info: 

I finally updated to V1.1 :
-Correction of the reported bug.

Now if you change the topology under the "Push2":
first you will have a strange result but no more crash or error message of the script, then you will just need to update manually the modifier by clicking on "Push2".
I didn't find a way to automatically update without crashing Max (I have the version 2012).

Update V1.2 :
-Corrected the unwanted interaction with the modifiers on top of "Push2".

Update V1.3 :
-Convert the value into world units.
-Modify the name to "Push amount"

Update V1.4 :
-Corrected the bug with error message when applying the modifier to a selection with multiple objects.
Notice a limitation : you cannot instanciate this modifier.

Update V1.4a :
-Corrected a "Compile error" that was reported.

Thank you for the illustration

It's not really a bug but just a possiblity that I didn't take in account.
This is not an extended shell or push plug-in but a simplemod where I have to write everything.

I'll try to correct it in the next version...

Best regards.

Updated version

I corrected the previous bug. Harumscarum, could you try if it works for you.
I am not sure to understand what looks like your modifier stack, a screenshot would be helpful.

Best regards.

Thank you Lord!

wow! it works as single modifier! thank you very much
i can confirm - there are some issues with additional modifiers applied. in my case i need to push only edge polygons so i extrude spline without capping in order to push only edge polygons and apply CapHoles over. it works fine until i try to change scale amount in Push2 - it is affecting all polygons so i need to delete and re-apply CapHoles

thank you once again - for me it is essential modifier even how it is now ))
