Rocks become pixelated when resized/scaled

Hello,

Your script is really great. However, when I am trying to resize the stones to fit my scene (I make them quite smaller), they become pixelated when rendering. In viewports they look ok. The same happen with or without any optimiser. Any idea?

Seems to be working fine in

Seems to be working fine in Max 2012. One thing that might be a nice feature to ad is some buttons for changing out the FFD modifier. So we could set it to a 4x4x4 or whatever. Maybe even make it an ffd box modifier with the ability to change the number of points. Great Script! Thanks for your work!!

hello :) sorry but I have not

hello :)
sorry but I have not access to max 2008 or 2009 in these days...
I'm working on a 2.0 release of both my stone scripts condensed in a new one, with some useful features.
For this release I'll try to debug the script on older max versions too, please be patience :)

thanks,
Alessandro

Max 8 Compatibility?

This script looks incredible. I have good ol' Max 8 and for simplicity sake let's just say I am unable to update. Is there any way this'll work in Max 8? Right now when I try and run it, I get the following error:

MAXScript FileIn Exception
---------------------------
-- Syntax error: at bad, expected
-- In line:
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Thanks for your help!

2009 issue

Alessandro, this is a very useful script. Thank you!

3dsmax 2009:
hipoly creates just fine, but attempt to create lowpoly gives me
--Runtime error: No such macro-script: Smooth

3dsmax 2010: all fine

haven't tried 2011, but by the comment i figure it's fine there

question is, are you planning to release the script which works for 2008/2009?

thank you again. well-thought and useful implementation
