Farfarer’s gists

Farfarer / swizzleRGBA.py

Last active July 15, 2019 10:08

Command to swizzle RGBA vertex map components.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxifc
	import lxu.command

	class ListMaps (lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__ (self, meshmap):
	self.meshmap = meshmap
	self.mapIDs = []

Farfarer / selectSymmetrical.py

Last active February 22, 2019 09:44

Selects elements that are symmetrical to the current selection.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxifc
	import lxu.command

	class GetSymmetricalVertex(lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__(self, accessor):
	self.accessor = accessor
	self.sym_ids = set()

Farfarer / selectSchematicNodes.py

Created November 26, 2018 18:14

Selects the schematic nodes of the current item selection. Install to <scripts dir>/lxserv and run the command ffr.selectSchmNodes

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxu.select
	import lxu.command

	class SelectSchmNodes_Cmd(lxu.command.BasicCommand):
	def __init__(self):
	lxu.command.BasicCommand.__init__(self)

Farfarer / resetMeshTransform.py

Created August 22, 2018 18:45

Stick this in `<user scripts folder>/lxserv` and restart Modo. You can run the command `ffr.resetMeshTransform` to reset the transforms for selected items and the normals/tangents should be transformed appropriately, too.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxu
	import lxifc
	import lxu.command

	class ListVMaps(lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__(self, meshmap):
	self.meshmap = meshmap

Farfarer / selectGroundPolys.py

Last active August 23, 2018 00:48

Selects all polygons which face straight up and are at or below 0 in the Y axis.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxifc
	import lxu.command

	class SelectGround(lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__(self, poly, mesh):
	self.poly = poly
	self.mesh = mesh

Farfarer / randomRGBA.py

Last active August 23, 2018 01:05

Sets the vertex colour of each mesh island to a random value.

	#!/usr/bin/env python
	import random

	import lx
	import lxifc
	import lxu.command

	class SetMarksVisitor (lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__ (self, elem, marks):
	self.elem = elem

Farfarer / listTextureEffects.py

Last active June 13, 2018 11:09

List avaialble texture effects (internal names and user-friendly names) in Modo.

	def ListTextureEffects(category=lx.symbol.sSHADE_SURFACE):

	internal = []
	user = []

	host_svc = lx.service.Host()
	msg_svc = lx.service.Message ()
	msg = lx.object.Message (msg_svc.Allocate ())

	for i in xrange(host_svc.NumServers(lx.symbol.a_TEXTUREEFFECT)):

Farfarer / quantize.py

Last active March 12, 2019 13:10

Wrapper command for vertMap.quantize so you can type in the number of divisions, rather than calculate them manually.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxu.command

	class Quantize_Cmd(lxu.command.BasicCommand):

	def __init__(self):
	lxu.command.BasicCommand.__init__(self)
	self.dyna_Add ('steps', lx.symbol.sTYPE_INTEGER)

Farfarer / islandCount.py

Created January 2, 2018 19:34

Command to tell you the number of polygon islands in the active mesh(es). Queryable in script via islandCount = lx.eval1('ffr.islandCount ?')

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxu.command
	import lxifc

	class SetMarks (lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__ (self, acc, mark):
	self.acc = acc
	self.mark = mark

Farfarer / selectByColor.py

Created October 30, 2017 11:48

Select vertices by vertex color.

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import lx
	import lxifc
	import lxu.command

	class SelectByColor_Vis(lxifc.Visitor):
	def __init__(self, mesh, point, vmapID, rgb, selMode, sel_svc, vtx_pkt_trans, sel_type_vert):
	self.mesh = mesh
	self.point = point
