gp_proCutAndRelink

category: gp_tools

gives the user the ability to cut multiple objects with multiple cutters and keep the new created objects linked to the original parent.

select all objects you want to cut and refresh the left list. then select all objects you want to cut with, and refresh the right list. Now when you cut, the script will try to cut all your objects. But as procutter isn’t a really reliable function, I integrated some filtering.

The new created objects will be moved to the gp_cutAndRelinked Layer. The original objects will be hidden on their original layer. If there are bad objects which can’t be cut, then they will be moved to the gp_invalid layer.

Max gets very unstable when using procutter in maxScript. I highly recommend saving and restarting max after every use of the script.

gp_collectByWirecolor

category: gp_tools

This scripts goes trough the selection and collects all the object wich have the same wirecolor to one Object. For now it works only with polyObjects. this is usefull when working with Rayfire and TP. You can first cut Your frags as you like by hand. Then apply a random wirecolor to the frags. Then Frag your big Frags with some precedrual rule and collect all the frags into big objects with separate elements. Now you have two level Fragmentation possibility with TP. Group activation and fraging to elements.

shareFFXdata1.1

With this script you can copy settings from one FumFx to many others, you can also select which settings you want to copy. Double clicking in the list will open the clicked FumeFx’s UI. Rightklicking the Reference FumeFx in the scripts UI will open the Reference FumeFx UI. Selecting a path and forcing it will create a separate folder for each FumeFx with its name inside the specified parent folder. And finally running the simulation for all FumeFx in the list, or if desired, running the Reference FumeFx as leader of the list is possible.

All other info is at the begining of the script.
