Probably the script which I use most often.

A function misses:
Sometimes I want to change a precise value, for example I want that all the turbosmooth which are to 1 become 2 but that those which are to 3 remainder with 3.
One could imagine to be able to write "1=2" for this function which would be really usefull.

Best regards.

HaHA! Thats a lot of

HaHA! Thats a lot of controllers! Yeah, the controller and material code is pretty slow. I should be able to halve it. But other than that its still pretty experimental!

Glad you are liking it! Most of the stuff hasnt been tested very much as it is such a general script and I only am really concentrating on the things I usually use it for, so if it breaks for some reason that you need it for dont hesitate to let me know and ill try to fix it ;)

Silly me. I clicked on the

Silly me. I clicked on the controller tab without a selection and now it is working on displaying ALL controllers in my scene.... will it crash....

3 minutes... it seems to have stopped... nope started again...

paused/frozen

4 minutes.... viola!

It would be nice to have a cancel button for just such foolhardy mistakes!

 

Otherwise awesome tool. Seems to work great with VRay materials so far. This is the only tool of its kind that I know of. Great work.

Hi Alexus, Thanks for the

Hi Alexus, Thanks for the comment!

Have you downloaded the right version? There is a max8 ActiveX version that i recently coded as a request and there is a full DotNet version that works fine with max 9 x64. Infact Im using it right now for max 9 x64 on XP64. and it was originally coded for DotNet.

Make sure you get this file: ModifierModifierZorb_v2_B_0.32.rar

Let me know if you still have issues, or have any suggestions :D

Thanks a lot for the max 8

Thanks a lot for the max 8 version!

Of course i cant wait for you to implement the presets functionality, but i was thinking of a couple of other additions which i feel would make this an even more amazing tool than what it already is...

1.could we have sliders to change parameter values instead of the deault max implementation?

2.for modifier gizmos - could we be allowed to access one in the viewport to change it, and have it change echoed in local space across all similar modifiers?
