Hehe that seems appetizing
Bravo Cameyo !

[froyd]

Hi!

really cool script cameyo!
Trying to get handy with it!

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Cameyo
I whish that your bathe was very good

Your script is almost absolutly fabulous
Quicky Test
All seems work fine
Just an observation : impossible to stop the script by Esc ! Curious
Another thing : the last object in C is not in the multimarked object ?
Maybe it's because I don't know how escape
The "Z" seems constant Too constant see follow
Precision Scale of 5 decimal is great (I am joking)

Now some suggestions for speedy easy use
Why not possible step X and Y different ?
(you have made this for the scale

Why not add [7] and [9] for the move in "Z" ?
now we must enter in the Deepth Z (not very practical and the negative "-" is reserved for the zoom !!!
All People are singing "We want the Zkeys, we want the Zkeys" (success of the ZZ top
A step for X,Y,Z seems indispensable
Colors ?
Except this, all seems perfect
The next version will be unsurpassable
Go ahead Cameyo !
Pilou
I don't try with the "Alpha" but there is no reason that's crashed

[cameyo]

See my first post for last version.
Frenchy: The last object is not marked ... and not snapped too...

Thank you for trying

cameyo

p.s. Tip: Press Ctrl then click and drag the DRAW button on the canvas....see image on my first post..you can create a floating menu with the zscript interface!!!

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Cameyo
Soon update
Sure for the Z ! You don't will regreat !
You can't stop on the way key 7 & 9 !
It's works fine for the Depth "Z" : I suppose that will be the same for the Z+ ,Z-
With it Manual Control will be Total
For color as you want:
the best is of course the more largest choice :
cyclic gradient, level grey, colors choose, random...but it's a prog inside the prog
Have happy coding
Pilou
I have trying the Update
Why the script don't stop when Esc is pressed ?
How exit for take the MultiMarker produced :
Just disable Snap and Markers ?
I have understood the little "bug" of the no "last marked object"
In fact when the Snap and Markers are enable, this works when the object is "move"
So When I take the multimarker the last object is not moved !
So moving one more than you whish obtain

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Cameyo
You are a genious

Pilou
Very useful not only for Multi-Markers
I suppose that's work also for the Alpha or simply for the painting !
Ps For the Float menu , I know it because I have made a Tut about it
Pss Colors will be in the ultimate Up Date
Like this, Zbrushers have some times for take handy the script !
Psss Sorry for you have pushed in your last entrenchment

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Cameyo
Zplace2
Is the Quad Quick by Aurick can run in the same time than other Script ?
I can't not use it so I don't know very well his using.
Because the use of the "z" should be more explicit with it
All seems work fine !
Pilou

[MrBraun]

Hello Cameyo,

This is a verry nice script because off the markers it leaves this way you can produce
multimeshes like in Spiral.txt

Froyd is also working on his Runit.txt
Though verry different would it be a nice idea to team up and come with one smashing
script including saving presets making multimeshes and what ever comes up

just an idea I cannot script myself but have many ideas on the subject
most times dont even know if things are possible

or maby a main.txt which runs all off the scripts like Spiral.txt Runit.txt and Zplace
Best off all worlds

here is a screenshot of a multimesh done with Zplace2
nothing spectacular but I can see the possibilitys just tried it once untill now

[Rafael Hernandez]

Thanks for another excellent script. Anothe weapor for the arsenal.

Hi Cameyo
Can you try the same manipulation ? A[8], B[8], C[6] etc...with just the relative "Z" [7] or [9]
And [7] on A after the first turn.
I have wished a cubic structure but not just a level of cube 3D as the result and not 3 levels ?
(Your script was the first after the start of programm, nothing make before)

For the grid, why limit to 10 the size of Mgrid and Clear(without keeping possible) after a new regulate ?
With this you can have a useful tool of making scotish kilt motif ! You have color in yours too
as BigMike Script previous challenger ?
have happy scripting !
Pilou
