Buckyball 1.00A 3ds Max script that makes it easy to create buckyballs (and other geometric shapes).

Buckyball
Here’s another script I wrote that I’ve been using at my job for some of the medical animations we’ve been working on. It was taking WAY too long to manually go through and create a model like the one above, so I automated the process.

Description:
The user can create buckyballs (geometric shapes of carbon atoms consisting of 12 pentagons and a varying amount and arrangement of hexagons), other fullerenes, radiolarians, soccer balls (european footballs), or any number of other interesting geometric shapes. Cancel out of the Chamfer floater to create other fun shapes with the vertexes and edges that get selected on the base geosphere. Send pics if you create anything you’re proud of with this script.

Tracer 1.30A 3ds Max script that sets up planes in your viewport to apply reference photos as a guide for building your 3d model.

Tracer
This is an updated version of the original Tracer Script written by Neil Blevins.
Thank you Neil for the permission to distribute this script.

Description:
The user draws any combination of top, front, right, bottom, back and left views of an object, scans in the pictures, and then this script will create the corresponding planes in your viewport with your pictures on them, allowing the user to use the reference photos as a guide for building their 3d model. For best results, make sure that all widths and heights correlate appropriately in your image editing software.

DF DownloadsI've added a downloads page to DigitalFlipbook.

Since I’ve updated the site, I’ve also decided to update the way to download my existing and future scripts, components, etc. I’m going to make a post for each one and if you come to the site later looking for the downloads you’ll be able to find them in a new section called … interestingly enough … downloads.

One more thing … my current hosting company doesn’t support certain extensions, mzp, swc, etc, so each download will be repackaged in zip format.

Firefox and the Web Developer ExtensionA Firefox toolbar for web designers and developers that has tons of features, including the ability to edit the CSS of any site live.

I know I’m a little slow here, but I finally got around to installing the Web Developer extension for Firefox and am completely blown away! I can’t believe how much time this could have saved me. The feature that completely got me is the edit CSS tool. You can edit the CSS of any site that you are viewing directly on the screen. Change text-decoration from none to underline and it immediately updates the site on the fly. And that’s just one of the MANY options available to you. Among some of the others are being able to resize the browser to custom sizes (800×600) with the click of a button, outline tables, cells, frames, etc on the site, validate the html, css, etc, view a speed report of the site, and more. This extension is going to keep me entertained for quite a while and ease web design infinitely.
You can download the latest version directly from Chris Pederick (he developed the extension).

And it begins …The launch of DigitalFlipbook.

Well, I’ve been meaning to update this website for a LONG time, and I thought, what better way to KEEP it updated then with a blog. So digitalflipbook officially launches.

I’ve had this url sitting here for quite a while … and only mainly used it to upload files to share with the 3dsmax and Flash communities. I’m hoping to keep up the community support, but with the blog, provide tutorials and other information as I can.

A quick introduction: My name is Mark Walters. I live in Atlanta and am currently working as a Multimedia Developer for a medical education agency providing 3D animations and Flash CDROM and web applications for many of the large pharmaceutical companies around.

Alright, enough of that. If you’ve managed to swing by my site, thanks for taking the time. Drop me a comment if you get a chance … and I’ll talk with you soon!
