Simple plane rounded

jeronimocollares3d — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 13:59:39 GMT

It is 2022 and Maya still needs six (or more) NASA engineers to produce a simple plan with rounded ends or where do we control the rounding curve?

The answer is no, Maya doesn't. See shape node > VertexBoundary > SharpEdges.

Roundness controlled by nearest verts/edges, in default pPlane case - subdivisions.

The question rather might be: how to make it a default setting? Could not find in Prefs, M2019. Still possible to toggle with hotkey script.

Why far? Wasn't that working for you? Were it the default solution, other users might have searched for the opposite.

Besides, you can add these last three lines to your any poly primitive creation shelf icon.. or make hotkey.

CreatePolygonPlane; $obj = `ls -sl`; $obj = `listRelatives -s $obj[0]`; eval("setAttr "+ $obj[0] +".osdVertBoundary 2");

Although, think forward what will happen when you will evolve your mesh beyond the plane.

And, by the way, if you are upset about the default CreatePolygonPlane options, use your own command:

polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 10 -sy 10 -ax 0 1 0 -cuv 2 -ch 1; // edit this, like -sx 1 -sy 1 and so on

And then there are Mesh > SmoothProxy> CreaseTool with which you can set roundness.

Yes, need 100 NASA enginer to do a SIMPLE plane rounded in a BILIONAIRE software.

GJ Autodesk!

Ps. dont work with what i dont understand, (code). This is ridiculous!

Im trying to reproduce this shape - in MAYA its IMPOSSIBLE in a easy way, without 100 NASA enginers talking about scrips, codes, plugins, etc, REALLY? This is ridiculous.

(image art Concept by Kasper Hansen - he probably dont work with MAYA)
