Collect Asset

Короче кажучи в октані е параметр текстура котра робить автоматично навіть цвітні текстури чорнобілими, але єкономить память, її юзають на всі параметри окрім нормалки , а діфуз рідко хоча якшо треба чорнобілий то використовують, так от в папку не збирае текстури при конекті через Grayscale image, звчайно і не знаходить шляхи до тих текстур якшо через copitor вставляти моделі в нову сцену, от приклад е все окрім текстур через ту ноду, без неї текстури мегаскана займають 18 gb відеопамяті, з нею 9 GB прирост колосальний

The script does not understand the path through Octane Render Grayscale image, this is a special texture for optimizing black and white textures in video memory, if you load textures through RGB image, all black and white textures begin to load video memory heavily.
It collects into a folder only all textures loaded via RGB image

probably due to a texture having corrupt dimension metadata or something perhaps?

i can begin testing the newest version now as i dont think the script is malicious anymore due to author responding to me.

 

with similar questions better write me to
telegram: https://t.me/xiruim
or e-mail: onion3d@gmail.com.

just tried to install v2.099b but a batchscript window tries to get admin privilage... excuse me? is this normal or necessary at all?

it is normal. Admin privilege needed to copy files in Program Files folder

I also have the issue with TX files that are not seen by the script, i hope you'll be able to fix that soon :)

Dear antomor , first of all thank you very much for your great tool !
In a future update, could it be possible to add the possibility to collect also relatives paths files, as it seems it doesn't work right now ?
(For example, autodesk maps, or vray maps / tx files)

Kind regards,

protocol

Finally something that works. Now I can archive my projects. Thank you so much!

That's fake link. Don't download *.ZIP posted by "fake" me.
Sorry, but this is not my doing
ADMIN please remove these fake posts

Архив мигает, но не создается.
PS выяснилось, что не работает в итоге версия 2.99B - 2.98 версия работает нормально.

The archive blinks but is not created.
PS it turned out that version 2.99B does not work - version 2.98 works fine.

Any chance to upgrade to 3DS Max 2022? Does not work well in 3DS Max 2022!!!

I need to make an archive where the max file is in a different version (eg from 2020 to 2018) but the script only saves in current version. Could you implement a version selector in future release?

I am using mostly vanilla max, apart form vray, forest pro and pheonix. But your script is amazing antomor. Are there any plans for an update to max 2022? Vray also added a bitmap with .tx file format (probably a tiff) related to their new material browser. They probably need to stay where they are in the vray global variable folder. Anyhow i am eternally grateful to you for the huge amounts of time saved gathering maps from weird locations.

Very stable and useful tool for 3ds max. But there should be a very important feature. When I work in a network folder and accidently use some bitmap from local HDD, I want to quickly collect those maps to network location without re-collecting all maps (which the tool done very well). We need a checkbox to "Collect found assets only", leave other OK assets intact, because collect all assets is very time consuming in big file with hundred to thousands maps/assets.

Thanks again for very useful script, Antomor.

Thank you
works good with max 2016.

Hi, first of all thank You for useful tool!
However in some scenes (so far, I wasnt able to find out what do they have in common, whats different) when opening this scripts UI, following happens:
- the UI shows up, as it should
- the blue progress bar on the bottom initializes for some time
- then it stops and error message shows up and script editor with the whole script as well:


https://ibb.co/VD6LZQL
Then the UI buttons arent correctly loaded or are greyed out - thus unusable. Only thing left to do is shut the UI down and resolve my paths with native 3dsmax asset tracker manually :(
Any ideas how can I fix this or find culprit in these scenes?

best regards,
Jan

I would love to use your script but unfortunately I only have Max 2009, is there any way to make it work with 2009?

Thanks

Not sure, some functions work only in new versions 3ds max. Yo can try use old version of script

is there a way to set which program creates the zip file? mine defaulted to 7zip

I think currently only 7z. By the way, why 7z is a problem for you? It's better performance and smaller output filesize, and it's free/open-source. WinRAR can open it, too. Shouldn't be any problem even if you want send file to others. I can't think any PC doesn't have a compression tool already installed (winRAR. 7-zip, etc...).

Add a chinese language in next version

Hi! There is a way to do a clean unistall of your scritp? I've tried to update it installing the last one on top of a previous version but for now seems that I've only updated the toolbar icon!

Thanks!

Now script installed in new group "Xiruim", you need delete old button from panel and drag and drop new button from Customize Interface settings.
Please write if you have a problem with new installer.

Великолепный инструмент! Спасибо большое! Вот только если была возможность при архивации сделать сохранение в крайне низкую версию файла было б вообще круто ...хотя бы голочкой что ли как то переключатель сделать! Спасибо заранее!

Крайне полезная и нужная тулза, за что автору нижайший поклон!

Правда вот интерфейс всегда вводил в некоторый ступор, спасала большая кнопа "коллект"=) В общем, решил я его слегка причесать, но уже как месяца три руки не доходят закончить начатое.

На случай если автор, либо же кто-то из общественности разделит этот порыв, то .ms и .psd а в аттаче.

 

Extremely useful and musthave tool, kudos to author! But the ui always confused me. So, I decided to comb it a little, but it was three month ago..In case the author, or someone from the public shares this impulse, then .ms and .psd in the attachment

 

You can test this file

Thank you, I will try!

Thank very wonderfull tool! So is it possible add option for choose max version save while run archive process?

I just added the line Buttontext: to the function ( now the button text shows as expected )

macroScript Collect_asset_2
Buttontext: "Collect Asset"
category:"# Scripts"
toolTip:"Collect Aasset 2"
Icon:#("CollectAsset",1)

.....

Whoever is missing button text on max 2018, here is the solution. Just mouse over the empty button from toolbar, edit script, save. Go to original folder replace the file with the new one. Profit!

Enjoy! :)

thank you for fix a bug. i will add this in next version

v 2.096 lost icon in 3ds max 2019. I restarted 3ds Max but not working Thank you so much!

Upload a fixed distributive. Previous two distributives was wrong created and not install correctly.

v.2096 fixed. Thank you so much!

2.095 does't work on 2018. 2.07 works fine

Only one request
1. Create a non-installable script
2. If it is difficult, rename the category. I hate that it is above the all command.

Script doesn't work with RS Maps, and all Redshift related sources.

v2.095 fixed this

Hello

Your script is very good.
We just feel we can not choose not to collect and relink the xrefs. We do not put them in the same texture folder.
Could this change be possible?
Thank you very much

https://imgur.com/VB9605M (A file format that missing from Asset Collect listing and management - *.bip)

Sometimes it archive full scene include *.bip files, sometimes it doesn't. Is there known reasons for this problem. Sometimes it doesn't even display (list) *.bip file inside asset list. Everything going well with standard build-in Asset Tracking of 3ds Max.

If you've spare time, I hope you'll look into this problem and make this script once again more useful and more complete than it is now. Thanks and have a nice day.

very useful script thank you

Fantastic mate! saved my day!

A very powerful script.How do you manage the rollout?
Thanks a lot for your effort.

feature request:
A button to save the last used options.
auto naming and location of the zip file according to max filename.
one click execution without any dialogbox.

Hello
Wonder of script.
I would like it to have a button (on / off) with no collect xrefs option. It's possible? Thank you

What about ies file archivation ability! will be it possible in further!?

Script collect and archive ies files. If you have a problem with script, please write to me in skype or e-mail

"add button 'Make Archive'. Now can make 7zip or zip archive directly from 3ds max"

This feature sounds great. I appreciate this addition so much 'coz I was searching about method to replace maxzip with external compression tool and hardly find a solid solution. Closed method that I use nowaday was a rarproxy.bat with code:

@echo off
for /F "tokens=1 delims=." %%A in ("%1") DO SET blah=%%A"
call "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\"rar.exe a -m5 -ep %blah% %2

And replace maxzip with rarproxy in Preference Settings panel. But I tried the same way for 7-zip without success. You got this 7z archive is very nice. But I try on my project with a master *.max file and other *.max Xref file, your archive function (that button) doesn't work correctly, it couldn't collect and compress all assets, seemingly it only compress asset directly refer in master file not Xref ones. The previous method I mentioned above work well with Xref. The number of asset (bitmap texture, IES, vrmesh, etc...) display in your script main UI is not so different compare to 3dsmax buildin Asset Tracking but the Archive button with 7z function doesn't seem to work with that amount of asset, the final compressed files lost 2/3 amound of assets. (full rar archived 2.3GB, your script 7z mode ~ 1.5GB, number of files ~1500 for full one, and yours ~500 files or something along the line)

So I note you about that problem as a bug. Maybe when you've got spare time you could take a look and might fix it. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for bug report. Fix problem with archive xref assets in v2.04

Great works, man. Xref now works like a charm. Also setpath function works well for both master file and Xref files without even open and run script inside Xref files. Great. You manage to modify metadata of asset paths from outside in a free script (the function was documented and appears in pay-scripts but for free seem only your one here), awesome! Thanks again, Antomor.

Amazing script, thank you for your work.
Since i use finalRender R3.6 some maps (related to renderer) are still not collected. Could you please add support for fR? I am ready to assist with any MXS property of fR that you might need. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes. I repeated this error on my test scene. Now i try fix it. Thanks

same error when scene file contain VRayBmpFilter with missing image

When I check copy max file and selected objects only and press collect file it creates an error as shown.

Using max 2016.

Thank you for this comment. I try fix this error in new version.

hello guys,i want to ask when I make the archive package is not in the specified path is how to return a responsibility? anzyu@qq.com

When you make archive, first script copy all files in temporary folder. Then, if all is well, will be asked to specify a name and location for the archive.

Great script. But can you make it so that when you press "collect files" MAX file is also saved in a folder with a resource? thanks

I can not understand why? How do you use this?

Здравствуйте. Пользуюсь Вашим скриптом почти каждый день. Просто вызывает некое неудобство при создании ресурса в новую папку сохранять туда максовский файл вручную. При создании архива проблем нет. Спасибо.

Сделаю вариант сохранения сцены в папку, как если бы сделали Save as... в максе. А для выделеных обьектов будет аналог команды Save selected...
Думаю скоро добавлю эти изменения.

Огромное спасибо. Не нашёл "Donate". Куда можно отблагодарить? :)

thank you very much, my friend, I saved a lot of time thanks to your woanderful script....great job...

Hey mate,
Thanks for this script, I'm using it nearly everyday!

I was just wondering if it was possible to add few options :
When we have the "replace", "Use existing" or "rename" options, it does it for each one of the files.
Very useful, but would it be possible to have a option to do it on the whole scene? IE : I often have multi-textures files (like 80-90) and I have to click on each of every file.
Would be great to have a "Replace all", "Use existing All" and "Rename All".

Otherwise I have a few cases where it didn't copy all the files across the new location, where could I send you a file to debug?

Cheers

Stan

Many thanks for the update!
З.Ы.: Спасибо, земляк!

add feature for the selected objects, plz
Many Thanks!

Thanks!! now i have more time to procrastination!! :)
GReetings!

Please create an option where all assets are put where they supposed to be in the project folder of the currently selected project.

I want all the image files in assets/images

all the mental ray MIB files (and their associated BMP files) in the render assets folder etc.

Am I the only one who uses proper project structures?

I wrote a script for yourself basically. Now I have no desire to add features that I do not use. Script open source, you can change it by yourself.

Great script Anton, and thanks for keeping this open so we can learn and take things further!

this is GREAT!!!
