[SOLVED]Apply UVW unwrap to selected objects + flatten mapping with default settings...

[LG3D_UK]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile a script which applys UVW unwrap to indiviual objects in a selection, then applys the flatten mapping with default values..

So far i can apply UVW unwrap to multiple objects in a selection.. but cannot get the 'flatten mapping' to work, and honestly dont know how too..

heres what i've got so far:

(
 for obj in selection do
 (
 if isKindOf obj geometryclass then
 (
 addmodifier obj (Unwrap_UVW ())
 obj.modifiers
 obj.modifiers.flattenMapDialog
 
 
 )
 )
)

My task is for exporting a scene to unity for lightmapping purposes. I have a lightmapping plugin for max which will apply lightmaps through unity. To do so the max objects needs a uvw unwrap on all objects and correctly mapped (flatten mapping will do..). I tried just applying 'unwrappers' in the render to texture dialog but unity needs the uvw unwrap modifier in the stack.

I'm a maxscript newbie but the more i learn the more useful its becoming!...so any help will be much appreciated.

Solved it!...

Getting use to this maxscript malarky...

script converts to mesh then applys an uvw unwrap with flatten mapping.. :)

rollout progressTest "Unity Unwrapper" width:155 height:165
(

 button doit "Apply Unity Unwrappers" pos: width:129 height:21 

 progressBar doit_prog "" pos: width:136 height:32 color: orient:#vertical 

 GroupBox grp1 "Unity_Unwrapper" pos: width:141 height:75
 label lbl1 "This will Convert all Objects to Editable Mesh and Apply a UVW Unwrap for Lightmapping" pos: width:123 height:52

 label lbl4 "Created by : Lewis Griffiths" pos: width:140 height:13

 on doit pressed do 
 (
 
 objArray = geometry as array -- get all geometry objects into array
 
 for i = 1 to objArray.count do -- and iterate through all of them
 
 (
 
 doit_prog.value = 100.*i/objArray.count 
 
 
     max modify mode    
 convertto objArray editable_mesh
     modPanel.setCurrentObject objArray
     subObjectLevel = 4
     Unwrapper = Unwrap_UVW name:"Unity_Unwrapper"
     Unwrapper.setApplyToWholeObject true
     addModifier objArray Unwrapper
     Temp = objArray.modifiers
     Temp.setMapChannel 2
     Temp.setTVSubObjectMode 3
     Temp.flattenMap 45.0 #() 0.02 true 0 true true     
     subObjectLevel = 0
 
 print objArray.name
 
 )-- end i loop
 
 doit_prog.value = 0 
 )
)

Just what I was looking for. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing.

No worries! glad you can find a use for it, feel free to edit it to your spec i.e. setmapchannel etc.

only started learning maxscript recently, so hope it works ok!

cheers
