Autoweight 0.030

0 votes

I hope this is the right place to post this.

In 2008 I've developed a script called "Autoweight" with the goal to skin-weight specific user-defined regions for bones and Biped automatically.

During the last week I've rewritten the script and would like to show you the preview of the newly designed "Autoweight"-Script.

Thank you for any interest.

(Copied from Neil Blevins' email list)

Just a quick update with a few bug fixes and small updated features.

Max script update:

Updated several scripts, here's the major updates:

splinePainter: Fixed issue that would turn the paint button off even though you could still paint. Added Surface Offset Value, to place the spline a specified distance away from the surface. Added a way to rename the splines.
objectPainter: Added a way to add a prefix to the name of the objects.
makeObjectsUnique: Added options for refining what you want to make unique. Works on instanced controllers now (note: A max bug prevents all controllers from getting uninstanced, but it does work on most controllers.)

10 Years - The Changing Face of ScriptSpot

79 votes

One thing that has changed dramatically from the early days of ScriptSpot is the interface. The original site was basically a glorified Excel file displayed in a web browser - there was no ranking, no searching, no comments and no way to add content. When ScriptSpot started I had no idea it would grow into the community it has thus the interface has changed with the needs of the site. With more and more content we needed a better way to filter out what we didn't want, a better way to search, a way to communicate and a way to participate.

Ty Loar Du for 3ds Max, a new coding way without writting a line of code.

0 votes

Hello everybody,
I'd like to introduce you "Ty Loar Du", a nodal programming tool that allows you to create programs without writting any line of code. It is a very new way of coding in any language like MaxScript and Python for 3DS Max.
The goal of this fantastic editor is to give the opportunity to create as many libraries of Blocks of code as you want in any language or script.
The main objective is to simplify the programming process thanks to Blocks that already contain routines, processes, methodes of code lines.
Every Block linked to each other will form your final coded program.
