Skinning Quickies

Skinning Quickies

This is a collection of macros for completing quick tasks while skinning. Most of these are just simple tasks found in the modify panel for skin which did not have macros already available, but there are still some custom ones in the mix. I decided to put this together when starting to use my new Wacom tablet for skinning, as it was annoying to always have to go to the UI to accomplish some of these tasks.

Here is another tool I made back in college which has been useful over the years.

Current Version: v2.02 – Feburary 28, 2010


This is a tool I put together because sometimes you have to work with modifiers on multiple nodes and the modifiers aren’t at the very top of the stack. You’re constantly having to select the node and then selecting the proper modifier. Prime example of this is when you have a turbosmooths on top of all of your geometry while you are either skinning or modelling. It would be much easier, and save quite a bit of time, if every time you selected a node you just automatically were on the skin modifier or edit poly modifier.
