Hi guys!

I need help with Assume skin pose parameter of 3dMax. I know use this commander with Maxscript but I need to know how max detect if an object has Assume skin pose used, or if you have pressed asume skin pose button. I know that skin pose it´s a parameters of an object an by default the $.skinpos is [0,0,0] before to assume it.

I´ve got other issue, I can equal the pos of an object to skinPos of this object, but i don´t know how i can equal the rotation.

I´m novice in MaxScript but if somebody could help me I´ll be very gratefull

Thanks in advance!!

I’m not sure how to detect when someone presses the assume skinPose button in the max UI but I never use that.  I have my own tools or functions to do precisely what I need them to do regarding SkinPose.

Below is the basics of what you can do to set the properties for SkinPose.  This is just how I use it.  Doing this within the coordsys parent scope will usually get you what you want.

Ouu Man Thanks!

Yeah, I have create a own tool too and finally I used that “logic” to save the position and recover the position. I put the property enabled in false
for check and detect after if the object has got save the pose or no.

fn freezePose obj transformType =
(
if transformType == #position or transformType == #all then
(
obj.skinPosEnabled = false
obj.skinPos = obj.pos
)

if transformType == #rotation or transformType == #all then
(
obj.skinRotEnabled = false
eu = in coordsys gimbal (obj.rotation as eulerangles)
obj.skinRot = [eu.x, eu.y, eu.z]
)

if transformType == #scale or transformType == #all then
(
obj.skinScaleEnabled = false
obj.skinScale = obj.scale
)
)

Thanks very much man!
