if you buy kt modelingtoolset you will have update support until before major update (2.0). Current version 1.44, you will get 1.5, 1.6 ...etc up until version 1.9. For version 2.0, I plan to charge for a small upgrade fee for users that has already purchased ktmodelingtoolset since ver 1

thanks

I might try to do a more simplified version that will show most of the techniques used to make your own stairs.

@@keltart809 Thanks I forwarded the link.

I have to take a look at it. do you have a image or recording of it?

I just tested it, and I see the problem now. will take a bit of time to check whats causing it

Script has been updated to v1.2. maya 2025 support has been added. it should fix your issue

short answer. yes it will be updated. Just don't have a set date. I apologize for the long delay.

cheers

Hi thanks for the comment, this is a showcase for the metal damage mega pack(resource pack). Not a tutorial.

not sure if you are being sarcastic. but it sure is nice there is new tools being developed even if its not by autodesk.

thanks. not sure if theres a array modifier for that 🤔

that works for most situations. however if you have a lot of materials in your scene, it might be a bit of work going through th list. Im currently updating my script to allow per face shading transfer

thanks for the like! I wouldn't say maya is obsolete in modeling but, I do think the updates are happening at a slow pace. But thanks blender, they have recently pick up the pace.

true, this is the v1 of smart extrusion. so hopefully soon will be added as well in the next iteration

i get recommendation of blender on my feed as well

@@keltart809 is it just flipped or something? if you use blender you get maya videos and if you use maya you get blender videos?

i believe the youtube algorithm suggest 3d content thats popular at the moment.

what do you mean by avoid cut retopo?

And you run on all Maya release videos to post the same comment ?

@@floriandelarque4847 why autodesk just do not implement this feature? they have thousands of programmers and millions of dollars. And they just do nothing for years.

They might have lots of programmers but I don't think they have a large enough team for maya.

@@floriandelarque4847 why? you do not know that you can make copy paste the text?

@@keltart809 net income of autodesk in 2023 make almost 1B dollars. How many programmers they can hire to make theirs product better?

I hope so too. variable width bevel would be super handy

are you asking if you can assign the custom hotkeys for the tools? if so, I think you can go to the modelingToolset custom shelf find the functions you want to add hotkey for> right click > copy the command and add it to the hotkey editor

maybe when i find some more time. thanks for watching

Add your path from Step 2 (e.g. C:\MudKit) to your MUDBOX_PLUG_IN_PATH environment variable. If you do not already have the environment variable, you can add it to your system variables. In Windows 11, you would do this through: Settings >> System >> About >> Advanced system settings >> Environment Variables. Did you follow this step?

It wasn't possible to add path on windows 10. There is no "MUDBOX_PLUG_IN_PATH environment variable" in the system. And no idea how create it from " Environment Variables" can you please explain what is needed to to for that? User variables and System variables have "New" button. To where it is needed to click for add path?@@keltart809

sorry for the late reply. yes you would need to create a new one. Under user variables, click new. set the variable name as MUDBOX_PLUG_IN_PATH. and the value as the location path you put mudkit. example F:\mudbox\Plugins\Mudkit. The reason for this is to point mudbox to the path to activate the plugin.

Quad cylinder manually can be achieved by using a polyDisc as base> with object selected run mel polyExtrudefacet> adjust extrude amount. dont delete history and you'll achieve the quad cylinder. Adjust the polydisc divisions.

the path of the folder should look something like this. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2023\scripts\others

started with a plane > base on damage reference images start cutting the plane along the crumple lines> then start pushing and pulling the edges> add support edge to keep edges sharp> use a secondary plane to shrink wrap along the first geo to transfer the detail. relax the topo in bad areas. either bake the displacement in zbrush or blender or any dcc. hope that helps

Thanks ! Not with this tool. This tool only extrude new curve points and curves. I will need to figure how to achieve the chamfer/bevel hard cvs.

@@keltart809 ahh sorry that was poor wording on my part. I didn't mean to ask if smarCruveExtrude will be able to chamfer/bevel curve points. I know that's outside of the scope of this tool. I was referring to this hypothetical chamfer/bevel tool :) ... Anyways, I was thinking a tool similar to a blender addon called CurveMachine.

Cheers Darko! I gota dig into the file. But I believe it might be easier to setup with Maya bonustools proSets. Essentially its sourceMesh> polyDuplicateAndConnect to create a connection between the source and the duplicate> Then run a face extrude> use the original faceIDs to drive the polyDelFacet > final extrude to give it thickness

thats strange, it shouldn't affect the sweep mesh. do you have an error message ?

Glad it was helpful
