TurnEdge – MEL script for Maya TurnEdge – MEL script for Maya
Similar to 3ds Max’s Turn Edge, except this tool is based on a quad/poly face selection. Select a face, then Turn Edge. The TriangleEdge of the selected Quad/Polygon is turned.
TogglePolygonFaceTriangles command is included in the UI for the user to easily view the angles of each Triangle Edge before editing.
It’s nothing fancy or complex, although it is ideal for quickly tweaking undesirable polygonal bending of correctly skinned/wieghted low-poly skeletal meshes. (i.e. incorrect poly bending, clipping or intersections)
Especially when characters have various garments, add-ons or other accessories where character culling (for game assets) can’t be used and precise weighting is needed.
Non-invasive modification of skeletal mesh. Skin Weights are preserved. And the procedure’s history is removed upon completion.
Unfortunately we cannot delete the newly created edge without maya reverting the original direction of that edge…sorry

“Jason was an important part for the company in order to import our game content into the actual game world. He developed tools that aided artist to be more efficient. He also kept a good communication between Programing and Art departments to ensure that things worked properly in game. He manages to keep on top of things even when deadlines and other issues start to pile up. He works his hardest until the task is done, he even stays late if need be to ensure that everything is working properly. Jason understand a lot of both art and programing making him a key person to have on a team. I would love to work with Jason again and highly recommend him as a Tech Artist at any company.”
