"Let's you output camera data (including transformation. fov. resolution and other camera specific data). It exports to an ascii file. with format comments in the file itself. Also attached in the zip is a script for maya that does the same thing (melscript written by Imre Lovasz) (basically. this set is good for exchanging animated camera between the two apps).

Select Hidden, Visible or Occluded Objects

Select only visible objects! Delete all objects hidden inside other objects!

If you are working with object heavy CAD models you probably know that often 90% of the objects are hidden internal components of the rig. Stuff you usually don't need or want. Object count that make 3dsMax crawl.

This script lets you either select what is visible or hidden from the current view - or let you scan the whole scene. 
It's a very efficient way to clean up your scenes with a high accuracy!

Installation:

1. Run script

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

Helixometry is a geometry plugin for 3ds Max that creates helix shaped meshes. All of its controls are animatable. The biggest benefit to this over the spline helix is the ability to taper the thickness of the mesh as well as twisting and turning. Check it out.

- Start/End radius
- Height/Radius bias control
- Number segments that make up helix
- Number of turns

Shuffle

Randomly swaps the positions (but not rotation) of selected objects. I use it to save time populating parking lots - by creating groups of identical cars - then running shuffle to get the random distribution.

RelaxBySG (Relax By Smoothing Group)

Modifier to smooth meshes without destroying hard edges defined by smoothing groups.

RelaxBySG works on the same principle as the standard Relax modifier, but offers a greater degree of control.
Rather than relying on the modifier to find boundaries and corners and hoping for the best, you can use smoothing groups to define them yourself.
