My new forum http://www.mariussilaghi.com/forum/index.php

Changes for v1.13.
- The UI has been redesigned.
- Added ability to save and load presets.
- Added ability to use Round Shading at iteration 0 to make the chamfer look round without adding extra geometry.
- Added a new Face Selection chamfering type.
- The Material Id can be set a zero now so that the new faces inherit the Material ID of the old faces.
- Fixed a bug when chamfering large n-gons with holes in them.
- Fixed a bug that occurred when the cut tool was used on edges that were being chamfered by their edge weights.

Love the Custom Vertex Normal Round Smoothing. Aweseome!

Tip: 3DS Max can lose custom Vertex Normals info if you change the mesh format to something like edit poly, so be careful.

Also, cool Vertex Chamfer feature, I like the option to chamfer edges at the same time = one-step really low-poly dice that shade just as nice (if not better than) how they would with a normal map!





Practically free high poly shading and a rounded silhouette with only one chamfer iteration?

Hell yea!

Now cryengine needs to allow custom vertex normals exporting and I will be set.

I bet this exact statement has been posted here before but, WHY isnt this a part of default 3ds max? Or is it?

Damn, I want to get this, but paypal won't accept my Maestro card for some reason. :P I knew there was a reason I have always had a mastercard, that never failed. Have to figure something else out.
Might also have something to do with me moving to Ireland, apparently Paypal doesn't like it when an account change country, so I probably need to create a new account.

I don't know how it works in other countries but in France you can't do online transactions with a maestro card.

Btw, I was wondering how your modifier deals with an issue like this one I made in the image.
If I chamfer the red lines normally in 3ds max, where I got the extra edge going into the corner, it makes that mess. Any chance it doesn't happen in the modifier?

MgGreed I hope you can fix your paypal issue. In the end you still have the option to send me the money thru Western Union but that may take some time.

Regarding your question above. If you activate the Quad Intersection option in the modifier it will fix that mess and create nice clean result.

I might release a trial version of the Quad Chamfer Modifier so people can try it before they buy.

Okay, thats cool, even more reason for me to sort this out. Instead of trial version, you could always do a light version of the mod, with limitations.

Woot, finally got my banks stuff in order, lets bevel and chamfer the shit out of everything!!

EDIT: Okay, so I have been playing around with it now, and can really use this in my workflow, sooo nice to test bevel, and then not to have to clean up all the time you do a minor change.

Something I was wondering though, is it anyway possible to get it to bevel the edge in the UV maps as well? I was just wondering if that might be an possibility.

Aye I finally bit the bullet and went for it, it's been a surprisingly expensive month in terms of plugins and script purchases for me, oh well... whatever makes the day go by easier.

One thing I noticed that was a bit odd, on the download page... I'm assuming the content is controlled by bitbuffet.com and not you? Because it has this:

Having trouble opening the file?

Be sure you have the correct software needed to open the file. Most media files (.wmv, .avi, .mov, .mp3, etc...) require the correct codecs to interpret and display the file. You may need to download additional software like VLC to play more obscure formats.

If in doubt, try downloading the file again with a different browser or try different software to open the file.
Which is just a bit... wrong.

Anyway, enough of that. Lovely plugin, I'll be using it very very soon.

BitBuffet is a service which I use to automatically send the download link after a PayPal order has been placed. That message on the download page I cannot change, it's there for people which are selling music or other stuff.

Usually what I do with my plugin purchases is save the email in my Drafts folder for GMail, then do another draft email with the plugin (since they are small in size). That way I can get to it whenever I need to in case.

I throw everything in my dropbox (non-shared for commercial/purchased stuff, obviously). Even my Max UI/quad menu/keyboard hot-key files and stuff like that... makes it so much easier when moving to a new PC or needing to upgrade.

I really like the Quad Chamfer Modifier, but I have a question about generating UVW's. Is it possible to add an automatic UVW setting? So for example I would first unwrap a box, then add the Quad Chamfer Modifier and the UV's would automatically get interpolated on the edges (sort of like the shell modifier setting for UVW interpolate)? Adding a UVW on top of the Quad Chamfer modifier isn't a good solution since I can no longer change the modifier without the UVW's changing. Also unwrapping a simple model without chamfered edges is faster that trying to UV the chamfered edges.

Well, the UV's this modifier generates are a little wonky and do require some cleanup usually.
