3ds Max Modeling :: Script To Clone Object Along A Spline?

Jun 23, 2012

Script to clone an object along a spline so that if i modify that spline vertices all the clones are repositioned automaticaly?

I use to apply a Path Constraint to initial object position and then i call Tools|Snapshot to clone it, but this works just for distribute the clones. The path is relationed just to original object, not to the clones...

3ds Max Modeling :: Adding Objects On Top Of Other Objects

Dec 22, 2011

I new to 3ds max and watched a bunch of tutorials, but I'm having trouble trying to do something simple like moving one box on top of another box.

For example, I created a table and now I want to create a lamp and put it on the table. Is there some way I can just move the lamp and have it snap to the surface of the table when it's near?

3ds Max Modeling :: Map A Grid Of Objects

Feb 23, 2012

Is it possible to map a grid of objects, say several small spheres, over the surface of a larger sphere?

For example, the smaller spheres would simply be arranged in a square grid, say 6 x 6, or 36 total spheres. Then I want to take that square pattern of spheres and map it to the surface of a larger sphere.

When I press Alt + X to make the object transparent so I can see my reference image, it simply turns to a shade of grey.

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Add Details To Objects

Apr 24, 2012

I'm having trouble modelling smoothed polygon objects in non-destructive ways, meaning editing the poly model often messes up the TurboSmooth applied to it. Example pic below.

Some tips or tricks to add details to objects in a better way? I know about adding details using separate floating objects, but it doesn't look very good close up.

Maya Modeling :: How To Import All The Objects

Feb 20, 2011

I am looking for the same function in Maya that I use alot in 3DS. In 3DS, you can "Merge" (import) models from another scene (file) into your current one. It allows you to pick a single model from the imported scene to be imported into the current scene.

I know Maya has the import function but it seems to import all the objects. I just want to import a particular model.

Is this possible in maya?

3ds Max Modeling :: Exact Aligning Of Objects To Each Other

Apr 12, 2012

I am having some difficulty getting objects to exactly align to another. When I zoom in as much as I can I see that the two objects edges are not exactly aligned to each other on one axis despite having the same co-ordinate values. I am working in meters unit value. I have tried going to millimeter unit setup but I still have the object aligning issue using what seems to be the finest level of movement - 3 millimeters per movement action.

3ds Max Modeling :: Can't Rotate Native Objects

May 22, 2009

I can't rotate anything in 3ds Max anymore. The only way I've found is to go via the hierarchy pivot box (left hand menu), which isn't much of a workaround.

The rotate gizmo appears, the pie slice appears, angle numbers change when I drag but nothing moves. Is there a quick way of resetting 3ds to defaults? I presume I've switched something on or off that I shouldn't have!

I can rotate merged objects, just not native ones. I grouped a lorry with a box (I wanted to put a logo on the box for the side of the lorry) - when I rotated the lorry, the box stayed put!

Maya Modeling :: Bridging Gap Between Two Objects?

Aug 10, 2013

i'm trying to close a gap between 2 objects to prepair it for 3d printing (a halo ODST recon helmet for halloween). i had found a bunch of papercraft models but those won't print properly as they are on my replicator so i'm trying to make the pieces thicker so they have real substance. i've attached what i've got so far.
 
as you can see, there is a gap between the inside and outside of the object that needs to be closed.

i've tried "fill hole" but that fills the entire space which is unacceptable. bridging is no better.
 
i've never taken classes for maya and don't have much money for books. What is the procedure to properly close that gap,

3ds Max Modeling :: Rotating Objects And Views?

Feb 13, 2011

1. In both AutoCAD and Sketchup you can rotate objects relative to the objects existing angle. In AutoCAD, for instance, you can start the Rotate command and select the object, enter the rotation base point, and then enter a reference point (such as the opposite end of the line). Sketchup's rotation command operates in much the same way.

2. Finally, is there a way to save a custom rotated view, so I can return to it on demand like the default views (top, left, right, back, bottom)? As you can probably guess I am working on building design that has some non-orthogonal lines and I am just looking for some workflow tips for modeling non-orthogonal components in 3ds Max.

3ds Max Modeling :: Multiple Splines To Individual Objects?

Oct 24, 2011

Is there a way (script possibly) to break multiple splines to individual spline objects? More specifically i want to find a quick way, when i have many splines (attached together) to make each spline (spline element) a separate spline (such as selecting it and detaching it). Unfortunately the "explode" command breaks each segment and not spline to an individual object, while selecting and detaching each one is not an option since i have to deal with hundreds or thousands of splines (produces by hair & fur).

Maya Modeling :: Cleaning Up Imported Objects

Oct 14, 2013

I'm trying to import a part from solidworks. I've tried opening the .SLDPRT file, converting to IGES (203 and 214), and STEP. All give the same result. 

See below pictures - the Maya import has "dingleberries" where there should be a flat surface (i.e. some of the tubes extend when they shouldn't). I know imports are rarely perfect, and that's OK as long as I know how to clean things up. How can I trim off the extra surfaces that appeared after the import? I'd just use an extruded cut in SolidWorks, but I'm in a strange land with Maya. 

First - the part looks like this in SolidWorks:

3ds Max Modeling :: Turning Plane Into 3D Objects (like Box / Sphere)

Dec 22, 2012

I'm working on a complex closed object shape originally made from a plane and want to do Boolean to it.

So when a plane get Boolean-ed with a sphere, it just turns to plane with a hole. Different when a standard box get Boolean-ed with a sphere, it turns into a box with a 1/2 sphere hole.

My question is, is it possible to turns a plane into solid 3D objects like box, sphere,etc..? So it's able to get Boolean-ed correctly?

I add a picture of simpler analogy
p.s. the box and the box-ed plane is an editable poly

3ds Max Modeling :: Combining Two Objects That Looks Smooth In Rendering?

I'm trying to make lego arms currently. I'm using two capsules to make the arms. But you can obviously see two capsules were put together. Is there a way to mush the two objects together to make it look like one? I tried connect and Turbosmooth but it's still noticeable.

Maya Modeling :: Deforming A Group Of Objects?

Dec 10, 2012

I am currently stuck with a problem in Maya.

I need to deform a group of different groups.

I have a Guitarfretboard that is build of 3 groups.(as in the pic)

What i want to do is create kind of a "stairway to heaven". So i would need to deform the whole group and make twirls and ups and downs, like a railcoaster.

The best way that i found to do that is to set a lattice on the group. But then when I deform the lattice points the single groups wont hold together anymore and start to seperate and mess up.

I am modelling on an object which exists of a sphere with a lot of lightbulbs around it. I made asphere and 1 light surrounded by 6 lightbulbs. My intension is to make a perfect symmitrical sphere of lightbulbs.

I work with Autocad Mechanical 2012 (not for so long) and quit new into the world of CAD. I worked with the command array, and that worked fine, but I don't know how to repeat the cluster of 7 bulbs all over the sphere.

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Use Substitute Modifier And Pick Multiple Objects

Mar 7, 2012

I have linked a DWG-file from Autocad in to 3ds max. I would like to use the substitute modifier so that objects ends up on the right spot even if changes are made in the DWG-file. The problem is that in Autocad there is one block for example for the trees in a pot, but in max there is one pot and one tree. I would like to keep it that way so I am able to change the parameters for my trees.

How can i use the substitute modifier and pick multiple objects? It is not possible with groups, it only uses the one object I pick, even if it is in a group.

So, to make things clearer, I want multiple max-objects linked to one autocad block via the substitute modifier!
