however, i've got around 30 objects and 30 curves that i'm gonna extrude together to create a rope-looking effect ... i've attached some screenshots to let you know what i'm talking about ...
and the codes i get in the MEL script editor :
select -add curve61 ;
hilite polySurface60 curve61 ;
selectMode -component ;
select -r polySurface60.f[0:119] ;
polyExtrudeFacet -constructionHistory 1 -keepFacesTogether 1 -pvx 0.1323718265 -pvy -2.852035065 -pvz -0.14593462 -divisions 1 -twist 0 -taper 1 -off 0 -thickness 0 -smoothingAngle 30 -inputCurve curve61 polySurface60.f[0:119];
// Result: polyExtrudeFace1 //
setAttr "polyExtrudeFace1.divisions" 75;
setAttr "polyExtrudeFace1.twist" 1500;
basicly I want to repeat this command so that it automaticly does everything for me, and after selecting curve 61 and polySurface 60 I want it to continue but instead selecting the next curve/mesh (curve 62 + polysurface 59)...
i could ofcourse do this manually but since i've come across situations like this before i'd love to learn how to work more effectivly like this ....
OFFTOPIC:
if anyone knows why my rope starts to twist alot more in the beginning than the end i would be very thankful for an answer to that also ... :S
^
edit:
ok i figured one part out ... the bigger space between the divisions = less twist, when the curve is bending more , the amount of divisions increase = twist also increase ... next problem is trying to get an even spacing between the divisions ...
ok i figured out the uneven divisions problem... by going in to edit curves - rebuild curve and increasing the number of spans that made the spans even = the divisions even also ..
Thanks
