NormalTexMap

Submitted by Dave Locke on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

"NormalTexMap - can be used to create a normal map by rendering custom geometry. Useful for wall detail - adding - or touching up existing normal map details. Just create custom geometry - apply and standard material with Self Ilum at 100 - and NormalTexMap and the diffuse map. You can then render the geometry as normal maps."

MeshInfo

Submitted by Roger Hyde on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

Displays various useful details about the mesh or poly object being edited - right in the viewport.

In subobject mode (EMesh/EPoly) - displays the total and selected polys (EPoly only) - faces - verts - and edges. When not in subobject mode - displays the scene and selected objects face count. Comes with a MacroScript to toggle the display.

Soft Selection to Vertex Colors

Submitted by Jon Seagull on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

This tool allows you to use soft selections to paint grayscale vertex colors on Mesh or Poly objects. It has 4 modes: Replace - add - darken - and subtract selection.

"FPSmove is a set of macroscript that allow you to simulate an FPS game movement inseide max.

Copy Render to Clipboard

Submitted by Christopher Grant on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

Simply copies your last render to the clipboard. I've separated it into two macroscripts - one 'CopyRenderToClipboard' copies the RGB data to the clipboard and the other one 'CopyRenderAlphaToClipboard' copies the Alpha data to the clipboard.

Bone Display

Submitted by Brad Noble on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

Requires Avguard extensions (r5 & r6) but when mapped to a hotkey (shift+b in my case) fills a gap in max and lets you hide the bones by category.

Magnetic

Submitted by Bret Krol on Fri, 2006-10-20 20:45

An alternative to using attachment constraints - use magnetic 2.1 to attach mesh/poly objects to the surface of another mesh object using the painter interface or a guide shape and each attached object will retain its position and orientation respective to the surface as the surface is animated.
