Glad you got it working, I've just installed SP5 R2 myself and was going to give it a go this evening.

Cheers.

I'll check it out, what version of Modo are you using SP5 ?

What problems are you experiencing ?

I've written a couple of COLLADA exporters, and like the format, and there are a few SDKs out there to help. I wrote one, just using TinyXML to format the XML and anothe ...

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll have a look through some of the mac modo scripts that call 3rd party apps, I'll see what the calling convention is.

I've added a new version 1.0. This contains a .cfg file that adds a form that can be assigned to a key (See first post - GUI heading)

Added a new version 0.2 that allows the existing vmaps to be kept and not deleted. It adds new vmaps with an incremented index if the parameter Vmap is used on import. For example

This is a python script that allows UVLayout to be used as a plugin for Modo 401.

Attached to this post is a zip file, extract the archive and copy uvlayout.py and uvlayout.lxm files into your scri ...

Thanks for the reply Phil. I've decided to move over to python after realising that perl is proving too difficult to run uvlayout in a background process.

I've run a quick test in python and it se ...

I'm writing a plugin at the moment and having to use perl, the problem is that I have to use the system command to run UVLayout and the 3D application loses focus until the command has completed. So a ...
