Suppose I want a piece of geometry to be added where the user clicks his mouse on an object, just like curve vertices are added on an object which we have ‘made live’ . Can anyone suggest what would be the workflow for that. First thing I’d need is to find some way to obtain the coordinates where the user clicks his mouse on the active object. Second would be to find the normal direction of the face clicked upon, so that the new geo can be added at the normal direction.
Does Maya have such a function which could return the position and face no where the mouse is clicked?
perhaps this thread will help you a little?
