How compatibility works

Choose the 3ds Max version you use. For example, selecting 2020 puts direct matches for 2020 first, followed by listings that say a supported version or newer.

Scripts that only mention an older version can still appear as “2020 unconfirmed.” Listings that rule out 2020 are excluded. Use “Show scripts with unconfirmed compatibility” to also see listings without a clear match.

Community reports show what worked for members on a specific release. They’re separate from the listing’s compatibility claims and don’t change the filter.

Description

 

There’s already a lot of PRS randomizer tool available in maxscript, but what I found missing the most was a real time visualization of the randomized transformations applied. Video available in the full post. 

Fast Positioning Tool add this interactivity : it has an "operate" state during which you choose the amount of randomization you want visually, instead of generating a new seed and waiting for a good result to show up. Once you quit this state, the new transformations are applied (to avoid deleting the undo history).

It also adds two others tools : some kind of a Z-drop, and attraction/repulsion from a center node.

Great tool! Thank you.
I wanted to assign keyboard shortcut but could not find it in the commands list. Could you help me?

I can rewrite a macro-style version. This will do the trick. I'll give it to you next week.
