Proportional Plane

Version:

Date Updated:

Creates a plane object whose proportions match the specified bitmap. Those proportions are locked (via parameter wiring) - so the plane can be resized without losing aspect ratio.

Also automatically assigns a self-illuminated material of the bitmap to the plane - with viewport display on - as the primary use of this is for making reference planes. However - it can just as easily be used for billboarded trees - people - etc with modifications to the auto-created material.

I love this script but, in

I love this script but, in Max 2010, I get a whole bunch of "-- Unknown system excepton" popups on startup -but only when I have a button for it in a toolbar.  It works just fine after hitting "OK" to all that though.
