ViewPort Control Mini

othoap — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 20:24:28 -0400

The original script by Adam Biles “Viewport Controls” was
altered by othoap on 4-1-07.

I really like docking all my tools so I made smaller icons then Adam Biles UI and added a docking feature. Also I added buttons
for all the viewport layouts.

The button icons are only in 16 pixel size. Sorry
I don't use 24 pixel UI setting.

DEngine ( Featuring SuperMaxscriptBrothers )

EricDLegare — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:34:59 -0400

An open source project using the double bitmap buffer technique to render a 2D game in a MaxScript dialog. Feel free to make your own game with this and release it, and most important, have fun with it :P. Of course this script is in early developpment stage, so it`s more of a template to a game than a game.

Relink Bitmaps

colinsenner — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 18:34:23 -0400

Max'ers,
"Relink Bitmaps" is a script to easily relink missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information. This script will save you time and money.

I'm also looking for full-time/part-time work in Game Development or ArchVis, please check out my portfolio at http://www.colinsenner.com and resume here (PDF).

MatManager

Marco Brunetta — Wed, 07 May 2008 10:48:36 -0400

MatManager is a collection of tools created to help
you, the artist, control your materials and allow you to make the most of
them. It was designed to complement 3D Studio, keeping a clean and
streamlined interface where every action takes as few clicks as
possible.

Batch Camera Render

sergo — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 06:29:44 -0500

Shortest description - this is another reincarnation of the Batch Render manager, so if you are happy with bundled one I can't guarantee you the strong impession. It imitates the Houdini's Output Node's way to bind render preset with lighting state.

Bug fix release - 1.5.1

Mr.Studio is a tool to simulate studio lighting with Mental Ray. It has some features to simplify the control of lights and provide previews.

FumeFx Preset Tool

kogden — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:24:34 -0400

Hello!

Not too long ago I decided to start tackling some Max script to speed up my work flow, after doing a simple tool for cracking geo (just like rayfire by mirvadim.....which IS far more stable, and integrated into reactor/PhysX), I decided to tackle something which extends the "preset" functionality in FumeFX.

Basically what I have made is something that takes the auto pilot out of the initial set-up, (which I have now found to save me anywhere from 15 -30 mins of intial set-up on effects, this is great as I am just making my fx's library at work, so there's nothing to go from.)

Streamline tools

Streamline — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:37:57 -0400

Streamline tools is a set of tools to accelerate the work in 3DS MAX.
There is nothing fundamentally new. But they were made exclusively for quick access to
routinely necessary tools.

Timeline Addon

Real08121985 — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 09:55:13 -0400

Adds more functionality to the 3ds Max timeline. This version is a public beta version, open for testing
and because I don't wan't to keep you waiting any longer. Note that this script is free for non commercial use.

Happy maxin'! :o)

SELECT/DELETE BY CLASS: Select all objects with a meshsmooth, or all spheres or all objects with a path constraint etc

FULL INSTANCE/REFRENCE TOOLS: Make all objects/modifiers of a class or selection instances. Make Base object refrences. replace base objects with another obj (eg make all selected boxes an instance of a vrax proxie.) Available for Modifiers and Base objects only ATM.

Tape Annotate

onitreb — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:58:59 -0400

Displays tape-length information in the viewport.

Effects all tapes currently visible. Displays the user defined tape length at the base of the tape and the distance to the target at the target. Updates in real-time.

Simple!

note:
I work in inches, so displaying "in." is hard-coded. Change that part ("+" in."")of the code, or remove it to make it go away.

Rename Objects Extended

AShim — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 10:18:54 -0400
