I don't know if there will ever be a UI for modeling script,but since
version 0.96,there's a new feature called "attribute".
You can see it under the Object menu.

I know that adding this feature to other items and making these
accessible to ASL, is on Steve's TODO list.When it's available,I don't
see why we couldn't use it as a form of interface for modeling script.
We will have to wait and see.

Here's what you're looking for I think:

http://www.anim8or.com/scripts/spec/Anim8or_Scripting_Language.html

Mesh and Meshdata Types section.

2)The reason  I was saying you don't need it is that your doing it
again in the loop: for $i = 0 to and for $j = 0 to

4)UV and ST are both used.I've made a few corrections to the
uvcoords calculation.Have a look.

Hi vobla

Good work.

I have a few suggestion if your interested.

1)Use a different line for comments.It would make your
code easier to read.

2)You don't need to initialize $i and $j to 0.

3)Right now,your faces(normals) are facing down toward -Y.It might
be better to have them facing up.You just have to reverse the winding(the
order you're adding the vertices)Seen from the top,you're going counter clock wise.
Go clock wise.

4)You could also calculate the UV coords so that your mesh would show a
complete texture,seen from the top.
Texture coords are:
Image                 UVcoords
Bottom left          0,0
Bottom right        1,0
Top left               0,1
Top right             1,1
So,you can calculate them in a way similar to the one you used for the vertices.

Hope it helps.

Not long ago,I wrote a triangulate script.In the actual
state of ASL,modifying a mesh that way is impossible.
In that particular case, it was easier to create a new mesh
anyway and it's what I did.But, it still is impossible to destroy
the original mesh and the pivot point data can't be copied.
I released the script anyway.

Then,I tried to write a split point script,prelude to other
script possibly like bevel point.In such a case,we should
be able to modify the original mesh not create a new one
and I thought it would be possible since at first look,there
was no need to remove faces,add or remove edges,but still the
ASL limitation showed up.

See the original mesh with 1 point selected
and  the result when the script is ran.

Point is split and we're left with an orphan edge because
even if you reorganize a mesh no edge is deleted.

I'm sure you're aware of the situation and I was wondering
if you intended to allow more flexibility in the future
or if the limitations were there to stay?

Also,if you know,what are your plans for ASL?All the other
parts(figure,sequence and scene), will they be part of a big
release or will they come in installements?Part of preview
or a full version?
Any thoughts on ASL future would be nice to read.

Read the last post by headwax:

Under the 3 XYZ buttons,there's 3 coordinate buttons.

If I remember well, your description is the way it works in object coordinates
(middle button) and the book describes the screen coordinate mode.
(right button)

This is a group of 2 scripts I wrote a while  ago.It allows to snap multiple
points to a target one.Try it and let me know if this is what you were looking
for.Don't forget to have a look at the readme file.
