Is it possible to create custom primitives/objects?

Post by MikeM » 14 Aug 2014, 12:20

Hi,

I am trying to find out if its possible to create custom objects or primitives.

For instance I just would like to create an object just like the "model" object under the "create" menu, but it would have its own custom icon in the explorer display and also if possible some custom parameters/properties embedded in it.

I haven't been able to find much about doing that, is this possible at all? or at least custom icons on objects in the explorer?

Thanks

I do not think it is possible to create a custom model-like primitive (as it define its own namespace and so on), but you can create custom implicit primitives since Softimage 2014.
