Sorry for the long time away,
Sorry for the long time away, I updated the link to a temporary one, I still need to put the new website online.
I would love to make it an open source code, but first there are some third party plugins and code that I can't make public and second is that this script was basically my first programming project, it's difficult to understand, maintain or update.
Even for me I need to probably rewrite the code to understand it again.
I'm totally interested in keep working on that project as a contribution to the community, as soon as I have required stability and free time for it.
For anyone having problems to run the script try these steps:
- run 3dsmax as admin
- save updated render presets and .max files on the script folder in order to have the render preview working properly.

This is not the first script
This is not the first script to go MIA.
It'd be great if authors would allow others to pick up were they stop. Scriptspot could make a community user account that a group could contribute to project. It's done all the time with other open source software.
Chico would you be willing to let people continue your great work?
If your looking for something in the mean time try this. Type assetBrowser.open () in the listener and hit enter. Not as nice as HCG-AB but better then nothing. Remember type assetBrowser.open () in the command line, select it then drag and drop that anywhere on your UI will make a button.
