3ds Max | All

This script extends and improves the functionality of the button in the material editor labeled "Select by Material". I was always frustrated by this button because to effectively get every object with a specific material applied I always had to unfreeze/unhide everything, and on heavy scenes, this proved to be difficult.

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.

If you customize your UI a bit and have installed the "3dsMax 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack" or the NVidia PhysX utility for 3dsMax, you should notice that it adds menus to the Customize Dialog every time you run 3dsMax. In a month or so, you will probably have to scroll over a thousand duplicates in the Customize Menus Dialog.

I had a quick look in the PhysX MaxScript files, but I don't want to mess with it. Instead, I made this simple script, that will remove all PhysX menus when 3dsMax shuts down. Don't worry, they'll be added again next time you start.

This script allows you to break an object into pieces by detaching its polygons or slicing it into chunks
(with or without volume preservation) and form this object again by manipulating the position, scale and rotation of
each piece. You can also make dispersion of your object by making the frames go backwards. Instead of object pieces
you can also work with elements - any mesh object you want.
The 2.0 version is much more powerful than the 1.0 version, watch the video and look what it can do.
