3ds Max | Scripts

Installing scripts for 3dsMax has never been easier!

MaxScriptManager is a tool that will help you keep track of installed scripts, help you install new ones in a number of different ways, get notified if updates are available and even apply updates automatically. Developers can create script repositores so that users can access their script without leaving 3dsMax.

Inserts into Material Editor sets of 24 SCENE materials.
If there are more than 24 materials in the scene you can choose, which set of 24 you want to load to the Material Editor (slate number one means get the first 24 scene materials, set number two means get the second set of 24 materials and so on).

Finds and isolates a selection of objects that have Ngons (polygons that have 3 or more than 4 sides).

This is a photoshop action. It will take an opened normal map (be it a texture or a rendered normal map from your render) and extract the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom data for use in re-lighting a render.

Function Sculptor is a scripted plugin that deforms meshes, polys or splines according to an arbitrary, user-input function. This allows easy creation of an endless variety of smooth, precisely curved surfaces. It also enables the mathematically precise curving of splines for extrusions, path-deforms and lofts.

It uses the world-x, y, and z coordinates of points to displace those points in world-z.

MaxscriptDoc automatically generates the documentation of a maxscript file, according to the comments found in the source code.

It's kind of a mix between javadoc and python documentation.

The "docStrings" are all the multiline comments that start with /*** and finish with ***/

The only elements it's trying to comment are struct, function, plugin and rollouts.
