[Closed] Fake Modifier / Null Modifier
I would like to create a Fake or “null” modifier. A modifier wich does nothing and display nothing, where i could put some custom attributes as i like.
I want to do this because in my opinion, adding customattributes to the base object can become difficult to read…
Exemple : I add a custom attribute to my object wich is an EditPoly, When i go to the modifier panel, there are a lot of rollouts already there : Selection, SoftSelection, Edit Geometry etc…
And at the bottom of everything i can see my custom attribute…
I search a modifier wich has no rollouts at all and does nothing so i can add my custom attributes and they will be easily viewable by the user.
The XForm modifier is one of these modifiers with no UI at all. but i think it does some modifications to the object wich i prefer not to happen
Is it possible to create such a null modificator ? or is there another way to improve visibility and accessibility of custom attributes ?
Thanks,
Ya the Attribute Holder has been around for years. You can also use PEN Attribute Holder 2 from my site. It give you options and tools for working with you CA defs parameters that makes them easier to work with during animation.
Mind that Attribute Holder Modifier in MaxScript is called EmptyModifier. It took a while to figure that out since it’s buried in the Reference.
(
AttHoldMod = EmptyModifier()
addModifier $ AttHoldMod
