http://www.floatvoid.com/code/CMHelper.msHey dudes. I posted this in Hypes Camera Map Video thread, but I thought I'd toss it up here too so I don't hijack his thread
I wrote this script the other day to help manage tons of objects for camera mapping. In Max, When you move an object to tweak the position, you have to re-pick the camera, which means going into the modifier stack and picking for every single object. Lame, huh! This can be a huge hassle, especially if you have to shift the camera around for perspective.
Also, if you are solid on your camera and are afraid of it being pushed around by accident, you can easily lock the camera here.
By default, this script will clear camera map modifiers from selected objects and reapply it with the data from the script.
TO USE: Select the objects you need to refresh, make sure the script is picking the right camera, then hit update mapping. You're done! Alternatively, you can apply it to entire layers, so just pop all your mapping objects into a layer and then you dont even have to select them.
Currently only works with Target cameras (who uses free anyway?
). Only tested in Max 9
Any feedback is appreciated, I'd be glad to add features if anyone really needs it.
