The legendary Avguard extensions have been improved even more, adding
dozens of incredibly useful methods/globals for the maxscript
programmer...

This is a script that simplifies the working process for a linear workflow.

The script applies a colour correct with a gamma of 2.2 to every material at render time i.e textures AND flat colours.

Lastpixel works on lots of large projects with multiple xrefs being created by several staff members so to avoid problems of having to manually apply colour corrects we use this script.

We developed this script about 6 months ago and its great I leave it turned on all the time
with remove CC's after each render (so I dont have to click through colour corrects in my material editor )

Works like sculpt deform in Maya.

A SimpleMod scripted plug-in modifier which inflates or pinches
an object according to the transformation of the modifier's gizmo, the radius and falloff parameters.

The Radius is the length of the offset a vertex would get if it's distance
from the gizmo evaluates as zero. This parameter can be set to a negative value as well to create a pinch effect.

This is a fix for the small, yet incredibly irritating, bug in Visual
Maxscript Plugin where when you've finished editing a rollout in VMS it
would remove one line directly below the rollout block which, if not
manually fixed could lead to the rollout 'eating' your code away.

This is a modification from the original plugin from Discreet so all credit goes to them.

On the discreet Maxscript forum Dave Stewert asked if there was a
function to call the color selector. Well there wasn't so I wrote this
maxscript extension. This function programmaticly calls the color
picker dialog. So here it is.

The syntax is like this:

<< color >> GetColorPicker << Title : String >> [alpha: boolean]

A scripted-plugin primitive to create obelisks.
Put the file in MaxRoot\Scripts\StartUp and run Max.
You may find the new object under "Extended Primitives" tab

For those of you that maintain your own dlx with a grab bag of
maxscript extensions (like Larry's avg_dlx), I've attached source for a
function that will launch a dos command in a hidden window. You may
find it useful in your toolbox.
