Hi, Unfortunatly maxscript is

Hi, Unfortunatly maxscript is very slow to process objects in this way, I have done all i can to make it fast (it was 3x slower in earlier verions!!!)

materials

extremely slow when changing mass material settings. I have around 100 materials for instance. 3ds max 2012

Could you confirm that when

Could you confirm that when you run the script it says 2.7.04 and if it is could you send me a test scene that fails so I can check it out?
Thanks

Hi Jordan, I installed,

Hi Jordan, I installed, v2.7.04_-_2013.zip, but I have a script error when I click Bitmaptexture in the "Material" tab. CoronaMtl is ok.

Corona Renderer support
Should work now.

Unsupported Corona renderer =(

Unfortunately, it doest work with Corona Renderer Material (free 3ds max plugin). For example, if I want to change the "blur" amount in the bitmap texture, I've an error. Is it possible to fix it? Thanks!

Have you tried turning on

Have you tried turning on animate when you apply a change?
I'm not going to add any key support as its not really in the scope of this script, but one thing I could maybe add is to keyframe the change at a random time and you could specify the time range to be randomized within. Would that help at all?

What do you mean by speed randomizer?

Random retiming?

Hi there. Congrats go without saying - this is probably one of the top 5 scripts ever for max, getting to use it fully goes beyond imagination!

However, i do believe that it cannot do what i need, and it could be a nice addition. Please tell me if i'm wrong.

I know its possible to grab multiple objects and randomize it's animation (regular pos/rot/scale and even modifiers) by using the min/max randomize buttons. However, this will affect all keyframes at once. Is there any way of doing this to only selected keyframes (randomize just the start for instance), or even a speed randomizer? There are quite a few timing randomize/offset scripts, but some lack the ability to animate modifiers, and your's is so much powerfull that if it had some way to do this it would be jaw breaking!

Hopefully there's some way already!
