Helper Maker

Looks interesting, thanks!

Hi Grap
nice scritpt.

how can I delete helpers that I created?

Thank you for this amazing script! Very helpful.

hello garp

please i want ask you if this script work on 3ds max 2013 ?

Thanks Garp! It's a Big plugin :) :) One point to you!

Works great!

Thanks from
Paul

In fact helpers (extending the dummy helper) are meshes whose faces are not displayed. Not splines (as I thought before writting this script).
This script does the same thing than the Primitive Maker, except that it uses only verts, faces and edge visibility.
So if you use a shape as template, it uses its 'geometry version' (look at the Primive Maker entry, I explain it at the top).
If you look at a dummy, you'll notice that you don't see the edges on the opposite faces. It's like a display in wireframe with backface cull on.

About an 'always draw on top' option, I agree completely! I've been looking for that but didn't find anything. Maybe because the helper plugin created extends the dummy class.
I've been meaning to try to extend the point helper instead but haven't found the time yet.
I'll do it as soon as I can.

It would be cool to have the option of "Always Draw Ontop"

I was hoping this would create an actual helper object with lines like the Dummy Object does. I used splines to create it but when it converted it to a helper object through you script it took the rendered geometry and made it cylindrical. I want it to be thickness of a non-renderable spline. Same as the dummy object.
check it out.

Great script Garp. Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out, gram.
It's the same with the primitive maker (dammit)!
I'll look into it ASAP.

edit: fixed :)

Hi Garp

Wicked Script!

Little bug? - If you create a helper in the viewport and then copy it, the copy has no visible mesh, even if you change the size of it! Instance works fine! Otherwise it all seems to work great!

cheers
