Object Src by Selection - Solitude - 09-20-2007 Hey guys I was sick of creating an object source for each flippin object I needed to have an obj source for... at least sick of it when there were like 20 of them. Due to some funky array stuff in the way fume handles it's objects and stuff you cannot create an object src with an object listed for the source object. So instead what we have to do is copy it then change it after it's been assigned. What's that mean? You have to first have an object source in the scene with an object assigned in the source object area. In fact it can even say "deleted"...basically it just can't be empty. So Create an Object Src, pick an object then select any objects you want to be a source object, and run the script. You will be prompted to select which obj src you want to copy, then it should copy the object src, assign it to an object, move it to that object, and also link it to that object. Special thanks to Eric "the machine" Hulser for helping me out Code: /*! Re: Object Src by Selection - sitnisati - 09-21-2007 Hello ! Thanks for sharing this script on the forum. We've found out (too late) that 3ds max functionality built around references storage, does not allow adding lights to FFX from MXS. Right now, we're adding more MXS support and I'm sure we'll add a function to Object source so that user can easily add or remove objects. If you have any other MXS wishes for 1.1, now would be the right moment for a wishlist. Thank you. Kresimir Re: Object Src by Selection - Solitude - 09-23-2007 No prob for sharing! We'd also like to see script access for adding objects/src/space warps to the obj/src tab of fume as well as the lights. Allowing creation of obj src with an object selection would also be cool (obviously). I'm sure the list will get bigger as i get more into it... I'll keep you updated Thanks! Edit: Any reason you can't select more than one object per object source? ..especially if it's going to contain the same parameters? Re: Object Src by Selection - sitnisati - 09-24-2007 "script access for adding objects/src/space warps to the obj/src tab of fume as well as the lights" - consider this done. Right now there is one object per Object Source due to the nature of object voxelization. I think that in the future, we wil change this and alow multiple objects to be added. Thank you. Kresimir |
