Relink Bitmaps

Last updated on Sat, 2009-09-26 06:45. Originally submitted by colinsenner on 2007-07-13 15:34.

Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.

Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free! There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag. It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script. If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.

Features:

[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time

This script will also automatically check for more recent versions of itself if you are connected to the internet and will let display the changelog so you can see what new features were added.

I'm also looking for full-time/part-time work in Game Development or ArchVis, please check out my portfolio at http://www.colinsenner.com and resume here (PDF).

Photoshop tool. Open image maps in photoshop

Last updated on Tue, 2009-07-21 07:05. Originally submitted by j_man on 2009-04-07 04:52.

Hello,

This is an update for an oldie but a goodie,

This is an oldie but a goody. Put simply, it is a script that will open 3ds Max material maps in photoshop. I use it in my quad menu. If photoshop isn’t open, then it will open it for you. The previous version used a hard old school search for image maps used
in your materials, before opening them in photoshop. This version uses
the max class dependencies to get all bitmaps used in a material.

This can check all of the bitmaps in your scene if their sizes can be divided end by 2.

Usually, game developers may like this.

Collects all the scene bitmaps and places them into a single directory, updating your scene to point to their new home.

Tutorial:
Open a scene that contains a lot of bitmaps. Run the UI version of the script. Choose a Directory. Hit Do. All the bitmaps you choosed will be copied to the directory you specified, and now all the scene materials point to that directory.

Open All Bitmaps

Submitted by displaced on Fri, 2008-06-06 13:46.

The script is used to open all bitmaps on any selected objects in Photoshop. When first run the script will ask you for the location of Photoshop; which it then stores in 3dmax.ini. If Photoshop is moved the script will ask you to reconfirm the location. When pressed Photoshop is launched and bitmaps on selected object are opened.

Inspired by the script LoadBitmapInPhotoshop

RH Check ATS Maps

Submitted by swat3d on Mon, 2008-02-25 04:17.

This script goes through all the .max files in a given folder and checks if all the assets in the Asset Tracking System have their status set to "Ok". Once its done it pops an info box thats shows how many files where checked, and then gives you the name of the .max files that were wrong.

Hello,

I would like to invite you to take a look at our new pipeline tool:
PSD2Mat - a pipeline tool

PSD2Mat is a production proven connection between Adobe PhotoShop® and
Autodesk 3D Studio MAX®. This maxscript converts layered PSD Files into
a Scanline or VRay, Brazil and Mental Ray Material. Named layers are converted to bitmapfiles
and assigned to their respective material slots.
