First off, I’m fairly new to maxscript, so you have to “explain… as you would a child”
I have a number of motion capture files that I simply need to turn 180 degrees. I know that you can do this with the rotation setting in the “move all” function, but I cant access it through maxscript. I’ve gotten as far as:
(
biped_ctrl=$bip01.controller .moveAllMode =true
toolMode.coordsys #local
rotate $ (angleaxis -180 [0,0,1])
)
which basically opens the moveAllMode dialogue, but doesn’t rotate it. How do I specifically affect the rotation? How do I collapse it?
Another approach would be to make a layer and set a 180 rotation key on the root, then collapse the layer, but I haven’t even started researching that yet.
edit: ok, what happened to the bottom part of my post?
I’m not sure if the rotate functions for MoveAllMode are accessible thru maxscript. However, you could try linking the biped to a helper object, rotating the helper, then deleting it. It works for me. You’ll have to change the eulerangles to whatever direction you would like the biped to face. Let me know if it works. –Jon
d = dummy()
$bip01.parent = d
rotate d (eulerangles 0 0 180)
delete d
holy crapcakes, that worked great! (at least on a test) Thanks Jon!
