How compatibility works

Choose the 3ds Max version you use. For example, selecting 2020 puts direct matches for 2020 first, followed by listings that say a supported version or newer.

Scripts that only mention an older version can still appear as “2020 unconfirmed.” Listings that rule out 2020 are excluded. Use “Show scripts with unconfirmed compatibility” to also see listings without a clear match.

Community reports show what worked for members on a specific release. They’re separate from the listing’s compatibility claims and don’t change the filter.

Description

UI

This is a simple script to set the Nitrous viewport texture limit size.

To run it just open the script and evaluate it (Ctrl-E). v1.1 now adds a "Kelly's Tools" category in UI customize which I will start using for all future scripts."

script works with 3ds max 2014? Error!!!!

Hello friends does this script works with 3ds max 2014? When I run it I get the following error:

-- Unable to convert: DefaultVraySky:VraySky to type: Material

Any suggestions? Someone happened the same?

Be careful with the VRaySky

VRaySky is in the material class. I think the script doesn't take into account this case. It's not about the 3ds max version.

Just delete the VRaySky from the scenematerials array.

Not working for me

Hi,

This is not working for me on 2013 Design 64-bit PU6. If I use Environment as background, nothing. If I use Custom Image - nothing either. Enabling and disabling BG in viewport doesn't work either.

v1.3 now adds the ability to enable and disable maps. Once you click a setting you can refresh the materials with the new buttons to see the updated texture size.

I'm checking with the Nitrous team for a better way to force the refresh.

I made a small macro recording that looks like this:

macroScript Macro2

category:"DragAndDrop"

toolTip:""

(

actionMan.executeAction 0 "63544"  -- Views: Viewport Materials Display as Shaded

 

actionMan.executeAction 0 "63547"  -- Views: Viewport Materials Display as Realistic with Maps

 

)

 
I can hit the button after the switch and it seems to update all textures.
Enjoy.
SMFoged

Yes that worked.Also

Yes that worked.
Also switching to "Realistic materials without maps" and back to "Realistic materials with maps" does it globally to all maps in scene.

Maybe that could be worked in to the script?

SMFoged

Hmm.
When will I see the update in the viewport. I see no change at any button press or at ANY time.
(max 2013).

Hi

you must reset the "Map in Viewport" Option. I go to Material and set off and on the "Map in Viewport" Option. A Little bit complicated. *smile*
