Symmthings 2.0

SymmThingsAuthor: Alex Murray
This is a collection of simple(ish) scripts I came up with packaged into a toolbar made primarily to make my workflow a lot easier. My main focus was on improving my symmetry modelling and making it a lot easier to quickly edit a fully rigged character (through the use of gator) without having to worry about anything. There is a small renaming bug outlined in the manual, if anyone has any tips on fixing that please let me know :)

SymmThings currently includes the following VBS scripts (individually downloadable on this pastebin page): Cloned Symmetry With Cutting Cloned Symmetry Create ShrinkCenter Shrink CL Cluster Scale CL Cluster Scale Component Reset CL Cluster Add to CL CLuster Zero X Delete-X Mirror Clone Mirror Instance Obj To Model.

For a video introduction of all the scripts, go here. On Alex's youtube page (link below), you'll also find a lot of useful tutorial videos mostly about character creation in Softimage.

Symmthings 2.0

Post by SpookyMunky » 22 Feb 2013, 06:17

Update : Thanks to myara I have a slightly less buggy version 2.01 now.. at least the nasty cluster renaming parts seem to work fine..

This is just a quick update and hasn't been bugtested fully, I just figured even a rushed initial bugfix release would be better than leaving version 2.0 around as the only d/l :)

To Download 2.01 with the manual included goto

-----------------Version 2.0----------------

I have made a very poor vid of me trying to demo the toolbar and while I thought it pretty much impossible I could make one worse than the original release, somehow I managed it :).

If anyone has any idea about how to get past the renaming bug or suggestions.. or complete recoding of my stuff please leave a post :). Sorry in advance if there are any bugs I have missed.

I finally got mad and bored enough at myself to create some tools that I will actually use 24/7 :). There is nothing fancy in any of them, just macros basically hehe.

I made a vid to showcase the tools since I figured it would be easier than writing docu heh... turns out I am insanely shy for even audio capture so took maybe 80 takes and 80 beers to get a proper take :P.. no laughing at my ninja 3d skills ! hehe (or my voice)
