3ds Max | Scripts

This is a simple (free) script that detects viewport changes. It will automatically set the current snap mode to 3D snaps when the current viewport is perspective, camera, etc; it will switch to either 2D/2.5D if the current viewport is set to standard orthographic projections.

The function only changes the current snap mode if:

1: Snaps are On
2: Either the target snap mode is 2/2.5 and the current snap mode is 3D OR the target snap mode is 3D and it isn't currently set to 3D. (In other words, for top/left/front the mode won't change if it is 2 or 2.5--it uses the current 2 or 2.5.)

This script allows you to break an object into pieces by detaching its polygons or slicing it into chunks
(with or without volume preservation) and form this object again by manipulating the position, scale and rotation of
each piece. You can also make dispersion of your object by making the frames go backwards. Instead of object pieces
you can also work with elements - any mesh object you want.
The 2.0 version is much more powerful than the 1.0 version, watch the video and look what it can do.

This simple switch can decrease/increase Affinity for 1 thread. Also it changes priority to low/normal.

To install just drag-n-drop into 3dsMax viewport. Then look at the NikScripts category -> Priority switch.

Checked state of button on toolbar means - low priority, thread 0 disabled.

Unchecked state - normal priority and all threads enabled.

Updated: Some things changed and fixed.

Key mover is a script for keyframe's manipulation in 3ds max on one or more animated 3D objects at the same time. You can also perform key`s time and values randomization on multiple objects at once.
