Thanks a LOT Eric and AkramParvez. I would never do this without you guys. Thanks.
By the way Eric, how did you came up with the Diamond Mapping Vectors?
IMHO if this is something that only an advanced scripter can figure out it should be integrated into maxscript help.
Simple problem solving approach. Ran the Diamond Mapping on a sphere, realized it divided the object into 8 sections, created a Hedra/Tetra object (since it contains 8 sides), aligned the face edges of the Hedra to the cut seams of the unwrap, and calculated the face normals list of the Hedra using meshop methods. Result was an array of the normals used for each segment of the diamond mapping.
Took a couple of tries, but simple answer to finding stuff like this is look at the expected result and then figure out how you calculate that yourself. Overall it took maybe 30 min to find out all the proper normals needed and which ones they matched.
IMHO if this is something that only an advanced scripter can figure out it should be integrated into maxscript help.
I am far from an advanced scripter, it is more of a situation of addressing a problem and finding a suitable solution to it.

That would be the right approach to problem solving. Ill keep that in mind. Thanks Eric.
