Script - CABLE 2.0 for Maya - Features

[@MauroSanna]

Hi Romain, I have just bought all your fantastic scripts for Maya and I have to say they are fantastic. Thanks so much for putting so much effort and love into the development of them. I am an old Maya professional user and I really appreciate what you did here.

[@AndreMercado]

What Windows theme do you have? Looks awesome

[@bubbleg1700]

Is the script a permanent product that can be purchased once? Or is it a monthly subscription product?

[@wzxcg]

You purchased once and get it for life. It’s the same for all my products :)

21:48 Dead 😁wasn't expecting that !!!!😂😂🤣🤣 tutorial was Good It helped a lot .

[@kanecroudace6957]

This script looks amazing, really nice work Romain! How well does it handle animation? If one were to bake with history and then create and animate a simple rig for the curve would it be robust enough to handle tweaking having the UVs not squash and stretch or swim over the course of the animation?

[@wzxcg]

Kane Croudace Yes

[@kanecroudace6957]

[@litote9]

Did you use this to create the vines in your Poison Ivy video? Is there a link to a tutorial on how?

[@WalterVASSE]

Dragging Cable_script folder to the destination folder from the video (2018\prefs\scripts ) didn't work for me, no icons displayed. Dragging the icons to: 2018\prefs\icons > Icons displayed ! Where to put the Shaders folder for working ? (Didn't work to 2018\prefs) Thanks Romain for your great effort !

Hey qing xia Do you find the answer? im having the same issue i will apreciated if you could help me thanks

[@Raphaël_Alegria]

@@wilmanarizatilano8426 did you find a solution ? i have the same problem

[@Raphaël_Alegria]

@@wilmanarizatilano8426 I found the issue: so you have to go to the python editor in maya (where you copy pasted the script) and by default it says in the top of it like this: if OS == 'win64': if version == '2018': mel.eval('visorPanelBrushPressCallback files1VisorEd "C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/Examples/Paint_Effects/Trees/birchLimb.mel";') The error is that (at least for me) that I didn't installed Maya to that destination that the line says. To solve it simply copy paste your actual destination folder where you installed Maya to the python editor. I installed it to a whole another HDD so for me it was like this: if OS == 'win64': if version == '2018': mel.eval('visorPanelBrushPressCallback files1VisorEd "D:/Programs/Autodesk/Maya2018/Examples/Paint_Effects/Trees/birchLimb.mel";')

@@Raphaël_Alegria Thank you for posting your solution. It solved my installation problem.

[@ROCKETMAN587]

Any plans on adding the ability to create twisted cables, like a rope twist, using this plugin, as those are a thing that is actually pretty common for cables/wires

[@wzxcg]

No, it's not plan for now

[@jamil1985]

I was really hoping the Script will have like a Trimming action, where it grows along the Path. Does it have this function?

[@martin_pryor2989]

Is this plugin finished for good or are updates still planned? I really like the plugin but I miss a taper option - a curve menu that modifies the radius for the lenght.

[@wilmanarizatilano8426]

Hello Romain, I recently bought this script but i having a error in the script editor, and i tried to make it work but is imposible cause i'm guessing there is an absolute path in the code "C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/Examples/Paint_Effects/Trees/birchLimb.mel when i launch the script it cant not find birchLimb.mel because I dont have that .mel file therefore an error occurs it will be really helpfull if you could work on this issue beacuse other people are having the same issue whit the script. Im looking forward to your response, thanks in advance.

[@mixtapechi]

Add this to your script under is OS == win64 (or whatever yours) and run it. elif version == '2020': mel.eval('visorPanelBrushPressCallback files1VisorEd "C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2020/Examples/Paint_Effects/Trees/birchLimb.mel";') mel.eval('setToolTo $gMove;') that must solve it.

[@MATHIEU_YT]

Just perfect, congrats !

[@ianconquireyes]

Hi Wiz im using this on a MAC and the materials arent loading.Also the Dynamics are giving me errors :/. Is it because of the script or something? Can you help me? THANKS and great script btw!

[@callum5765]

Will those of us who use this from Fuze 11 get the update? (not Happening mentioned in Livestream)

[@FundamentalCreativeHub]

What windows theme is that! I really love it! Can you give me some info please?

seems like this one right here www.deviantart.com/cleodesktop/art/Full-Black-Orange-Theme-For-Windows-10-689805204

I get this error when i click MAKE DYNAMIQUE # Error: NameError: file line 493: global name 'slideRebuild' is not defined

[@artdempsey846]

Me too, did you ever fix this issue?

[@digitalimagestall]

Hi, I have purchased the item but the dynamics don't work. Everytime I choose the curve and click 'make dynamic', I get an error saying: 'Error: NameError: file line 493: global name 'slideRebuild' is not defined'. Could you help at all?

[@wzxcg]

Question : Did you look at the "Video Explanation" to understand and know how to use your tool or not?

[@digitalimagestall]

Yes, indeed. I get the error after creating the curve and hit 'make dynamic'.

[@digitalimagestall]

Summary : create a curve, click on 'make dynamic' does not create a hair system like yours on the video.

[@wzxcg]

Which Maya version do you have?

[@digitalimagestall]

Maya 2018.3

[@ГеоргийТопалов-ч4ф]

Tell me, how to install on Mac OS? Where to move the folder?

[@roscoelamontagne5938]

Does this work with MAYA LT 2020? or 19?

[@wzxcg]

Roscoe Lamontagne No

[@Compufighter]

when I create a circle curve and create a cable the cable is not closed loop. is this a bug?

[@wzxcg]

Absolutely not. It's normal, it's dedicated to create "cables" and by definition a cable can't be close. So there always a base and a tip, you can perform close circle. To do that just create a Torus primitive.

[@Compufighter]

got yah, i thought so

[@NiboGL]

Looks amazing! :D

[@JohnyLendel]

Wow, what is a Windows UI?

[@wzxcg]

It's old I don't remember. But it's just windows theme from Deviant Art + custom icons I made

[@jakkritthanaphatthanakul5275]

This script can be used on Linux?

[@wzxcg]

Jakkrit Thanaphatthanakul Yes it work but you’ll need to manually set a path in the Script

[@Birendraart97]

plse tell me modeling script used in this vedio

[@wzxcg]

Maya And gumroad.com/l/Cable

[@aaddiction7294]

Where is this for 3ds Max?

[@artcrow421]

3ds max does't need a similar script. Create Spline. Go to Modify Panel. Open Rendering Tab. Turn on "Enable In Viewport". A little lower adjust the thickness, the number of sides. And in the end, just convert to Editable Poly. Done)

[@microbounce2009]

awesome

[@glenn26]

How do people that bought the first version get the update for free?

[@wzxcg]

Cable is on your Gumroad library. Just download the new files :)

[@AndriyMisuyrak]

you download it one more time on gumroad

[@min-seungmun6091]

I want to buy it right away, but I can't use it because it's a student version. Please update it quickly. I want to buy it right away.

[@syntaxed2]

Just use houdini, you will never need another script or plugin ever again.

[@iplaybose]

Just fuck off

[@syntaxed2]

I didnt comment on his hard work, I merely gave him advice that using houdini will help. Maybe you are too sensitive and assumed too much?

[@aswinb]

@syntaxed2 Your comment would be really helpful if you actually refer to a tutorial/video that shows something similar being done in Houdini. Just saying that it can be done in Houdini is just downright lazy, and if you are not an audience to this video, don't waste time here and just skedaddle on to something else that's useful for you. Different people have different needs. Person who already owns Maya may not have the resources to purchase Houdini, and relies on affordably priced tools such as these to speed up their day to day workflow. Hell, there might be an easier/cheaper way to do this in Blender, so by all means make a useful suggestion so viewers can compare. Don't go pissing on other artists' hard work. Insufferable gits like yourself should try making a tutorial or two of your own.
