3ds Max Scripts

Obj-Selector of obj without materials

toby — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:53:27 +0100

This short script allows the user to automatically select all objects in a scene that do not have a material or do have a 'Global Architectural' material applied to them.
This is useful especially for users who work with imported data from AutoCAD.

Simply drag and drop the script into your 3ds max viewport after the import process is finished, et voilà.

Obj-Selector of obj without a UVWMap modifier

toby — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:58:07 +0100

This short script allows the user to automatically select all
objects in a scene that do not have a 'UVW Map' modifier applied to them.
This is useful especially for users who work with imported data from AutoCAD. The imported data contains uvw information, but in most cases the uvw coordinates need an overwork. This script makes it easier to isolate those objects in the scene.

Simply drag and drop the script into your 3ds max viewport after the import process is finished, et voilà.

wireBundler

Neil Blevins — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 04:45:42 +0100

Creates a number of wires that travel through various target objects. Useful for making bundles of wires for robots or other mechanical devices in a few simple clicks.

Tutorial:
Make 3 spheres anywhere in the viewport. Select all 3 spheres. Run the UI version of the script. In the wirebundler interface, click on "Add select to target list". Click Apply. It will make 10 splines, each the vertex of each spline will exist inside one of the 3 spheres. Play with the settings to get different effects.

Polygon Edge Summary

Megamorph — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:54:08 +0100

Here is a little script that displays how many x-edged faces you have in your editable polygon object, where x ranges from 3 to the maximum number of edges bordering a face that can be found in your object.

Animation Ranger

Animation Ranger

This script intended to simplify changing time range values inside max.

I tried to make it similar to Mayas timeslider.

There are four spinners and two sliders.

At the far right and far left spinners are maximum and minimum values of range.

Other two spinners and two sliders are for zooming in and out to the timeslider.

Copy/Paste transforms

Brad Noble — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:23:19 +0100

Copies the transforms of selected objects to a
buffer and then pastes them onto a new or existing selection.
It has the option to paste the position and/or the
rotation
and can paste it flipped around a world or custom object's
axis.
Handy for mirroring poses or animation rig components.

Quick tangents

Brad Noble — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:36:13 +0100

This will set the tangents of your selected keys
in the trackbar. It's pretty easy
to use,
select your
keys in the trackbar or trackview
(however the whole point of it is to change your keys without opening
your trackview) and click on the tangent you want. That's it.
It also has options to choose whether you want to change only
the
incoming or outgoing tangents.

VRay path cleaner

feilang — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:25:47 +0100

Hi, sometimes we may save maps(ie. irradiance map) when rendering with VRay, and then load them. But, the load and save path will be visible forever, untill you restart your max.Someone may feel not well for that, like me. So I have created this script to clean them,it's time to say goodbay to the unusable paths.Enjoy it!

subSelection

andy.e — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:02:55 +0100

Random select objects in a selection. For example , you have to make different color bricks among hundreds of bricks. So all bricks could be a selection, then adjust the parameters to random select certain of bricks.
*Put the file in "Scripts\Startup" , then restart 3DS MAX.
*It is in Utilities drop list.

To create a standing Plane, and load transparent image to this plane directly.
*Functions are based on Standard Primitive Plane.
*Load PNG、TGA、 TIF file format with alpha channel.
*It is in [Create>Geometry>Scripted Primitives].
*Put the file in "Scripts\Startup" , then restart 3DS MAX

Map Loader

colinsenner — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:26:11 +0100

1. Run script

2. In Max goto "Customize->Customize User Interface...->Toolbars
tab->Category: ColinScripts->Map Loader" and drag "Map Loader" to a toolbar, click to run.

Loads maps into the material editor that exist in the scene. Very straightforward.

Biped Manipulator

Royal Ghost — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 07:15:49 +0000

Biped Manipulator - MAX script, allows fast select biped bones and also the whole arms, legs and spine. Unlike other similar scripts Biped Manipulator doesn't occupy much screen place. If there are several bipeds on the scene it is possible to use for convenience several Biped Manipulators.
