Project Manager

Kstudio — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:37:17 +0000

3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets.

What is most unique to the new features – is the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials.

You can also write a description for materials and, of course, assign categories to materials.

ECopy is a 3DsMax script by EKDtools.

That allows you to copy and paste in 20 different slots.
You can use this script to copy and paste objects between different files and computers on your network. This can be useful when you are working on a project that requires collaboration with other people.
ECopy also registers the timestamp of your copy with a large object centered preview and the username of the user who took the copy.
