Lele's Vray Tools
Submitted by Lele on Sun, 2007-01-28 10:38.A set of tools to aid in the daily VRay work.
Updated for VRay 1.5 SP2.
Matrix-Weighted Exposimeter V. 1.19 : very
similar in principle to that of dSLR, it allows for different weighting
of each slice/square in which the image is divided, as well as allowing
a different range of pixel brightnesses to be chosen for the exposure
(akin to real world lens filters).
Entirely customisable for
behaviour.Now with auto-white balance and preset manager!
From V. 1.16 it supports exposure / White Balance animation through the script.
Please note this is
not meant to be a frame by frame tool: doing so will result in
flickering (like for standard dSLRs) and will likey lead to max crashes
due to maxscript memory heap overload.
Keep previews small, Nth frame at around 1 second, and go in and refine
by hand activating "Auto Key" from the max interface and exposing the
problematic areas.
UPDATE:
The Sample Rate calculator, new with 1.19, is an early attempt at DMC AA optimisation.
It will render a sample pass with whatever DMC AA (ONLY!) settings you
have, analise the sample rate, and guestimate a new threshold value (AA
noise threshold only) so that the BIAS setting may be met (+- 2.5%).
The BIAS indicates the pixel brightness average in the sample pass (where ~0 is min sampling, and ~1 is max sampling).

VRayMtlConverter
Submitted by 3DZver on Fri, 2006-10-20 19:45.A simple MAXScript to automate otherwise time-consuming tasks regarding converting some types of materials (currently: Standard - Raytrace - Brazil Advanced and fr-Advanced)
to VRay Materials (VRayMtl and VRyLightMtl) - and also fixes some parameters of materials of previous versions V-Ray (1.09.xx) in view of changes in new versions V-Ray (1.46.xx and 1.50.00 Final).
Realtime Spring
Submitted by harrisyu on Fri, 2007-03-09 23:34.
After watch a few rigging reel using xsi or maya,I think that it would be much easier in animating if the rig has realtime delay effect.

Detriangulator
Submitted by IN_human on Sat, 2008-01-05 03:58.
This tool is intended to remove diagonal edges from triangulated editable poly.
Optional features are:
- keep edges that have angle between faces more then specified (set 0 if this feature is not needed)
- keep UV border edges (only 1st UV channel used)
Tree Maker
Submitted by Shawn Lewis on Fri, 2006-10-20 19:45.Great script for creating trees... Some of the 'sweet' things about this script are:- After you generate the branches - you can rotate and move them about to more easily control the shape of the generated tree.- The generated tree already has mapping coordinates applied (this isn't perfected yet - but it works pretty well).

QuickTools
Submitted by shannondees on Fri, 2006-10-20 19:45.
A collection of useful maxscripts and max features combined into one tool window. Most of the scripts I wrote myself. Some I did not write - but included as I use them regularly and find them to be extremely efficient work flow enhancers - furthermore I found no need to reinvent already solid wheels. Full credit is given to all script's authors both in the code comments and on the about page - however if for some reason I have neglected to give proper credit please let me know and I will rectify any and all such oversights. Furthermore - should anyone be unhappy that these are included I can remove them from the public release version. Finally any tools not categorized by those first descriptions are just standard max affairs to which I have given more convenient access - or are standard max affairs that have been slightly altered to suit certain production needs.
