Loads multiple files from a folder into your choice of available materials & maps. Then puts the new created materials to the material library.

   

Version 2.1 updates:

  • ( Fix ) In v2.0 you would have an error if you select or change the file type dropdown list before sprecifing the bitmaps folder.
  • ( Update ) all the bitmap textures is now named after the filename ( Thanks for my Brazilian friend "Paulo belesa" aka "pfbelesa" for the constructive feedbacks ).

Warning:

  • Use the material library option with care so you don't loose any current library.
  • This script is not tested enough, So USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. 

Setup:

Put the file in Max>UI>macroscripts

Restart max if it's open

Customize your UI (find the script under category "Hani")

Additional Info: 

Version 2.0 updates:
- Added file type filter.
- Added map type dropdown list.
- Fixed the "destroy dialog" bug.

Version 1.1
- Changed a code order to prevent clearing the current material library in case of trying to load more than 10 maps into a composite material.

Version Requirement: 
Max 2009 and up

Extend Script

Hi Hani.
Useful Script!. I want to ask you if I can extend your script to work with vray material, and select specific maps from directory rather than the entire dir. It would be nice to be able to set more than one map type at time.

Hi Hani Tiby,

I optimize your script code and works fine on max2013
and probably later versions.
If you want to see the result send me your email.

Options are endless

Hi RoosterMap,
Options are endless regarding importing and putting maps in different materials and map slots.
Anyway I'll change browsing so the user can select specific files.
I can also make a naming option to choose between "file name" or "user defined name".
Thanks for the nice feedback. and please keep sharing your updates.
