it does everything automatically,first it will convert any 3dsmax bitmap to vraybitmap, then it will set diffuse, reflect, translucent, self illum, fog color, environement bitmaps to "srgb-srgb", or to "none-raw" if bitmaps are .exr or .hdr, while other bitmaps are set to "none-raw"

MB Resource Collector

Submitted by Martin Breidt on Mon, 2008-08-18 16:53

Interface of MB Resource Collector 0.2 This script is something like a replacement for the File > Archive... function found in 3ds Max. It will collect ALL assets currently used in the scene file into one common directory, optionally changing/removing path names. This includes final gather maps, photometric files, environment maps, bitmaps used in a displacement modifier etc., basically everyhting that is listed in the Asset Tracking System will be collected, too.

This is useful if you want to send your entire scene with all required files to someone else in one flat folder.

Optionally, the script can change the asset path names to match the new location, either as absolute or relative path names. It can also include the currently open .max file and create a .zip archive from all collected files in one go.

EasyIncludeExclude

Submitted by SimonBourgeois on Sat, 2024-08-31 05:54

This Script will simplify the process of including or excluding objects from lights.
Instead of choosing objects from the list as usual, you just need to select both objects and lights and click the corresponding button (include or exclude), for each action you can either add to the current list or replace it completely or even remove selected objects from the list.
No more endless scrolling to find the objects you need to include or exclude!
Also works on multiple lights selected.
Tested With Standard,Vray and Corona Lights, might work with other renderers...

Improved Face Weighted Normals

Submitted by Cattomic on Sat, 2017-12-16 08:06

IMPROVED FACE WEIGHTED NORMALS

This script is a must have for medium polygon modeling.

Weighted Vertex Normals or Face Weighted Normals use the area of the face to tune the vertexs normals.

This script does this for you with just one click.

Unlike others FWN Scripts, this one considers coplanar faces like they were a unique big face

You can disable this feature to get an standard FWN result, or tune threshold for not completely flat surfaces

Submitted by Kstudio on Tue, 2010-09-14 09:37

3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets.

What is most unique to the new features – is the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials.

You can also write a description for materials and, of course, assign categories to materials.
