FilepathFinder - most power tool for working with Asset Files in 3ds Max.
With FilepathFinder you can easy find and collect asset files.
Utility supports XRefs of all types and processes all XRefs scenes linked to current.
Unlike all other such tools, FilepathFinder really finds all resources (images, HDR-images, Proxy, IES-files, shaders).
Also the FilePathFinder can help you quick find objects or materials and textures by asset links.

Everybody who have imported large amount of data from any cad system know that it normally kills the instancing. The intention of this script is to find geometrically identical nodes and instance them. This script will of course work if someone have used copy instead of instance in a scene and wants them instanced instead.

Added 2015:
I'm happy to see that so many have tried out my Sunday hack that I made 5 years ago...but as it was only something to do for a Sunday its not really something I support. I would love to, but my daytime job takes all my time ;-)

Selects objects that have the chosen modifier in their stack

At startup the list populates with all available modifiers in your session of Max. Use the button below the list to filter it down to only the modifiers currently present in your scene. This can take a few seconds for large scenes.

Find CoInstances works in two ways:

1. With Multiple Objects selected it will find objects that are cloned on top of each other resulting in animation flickering

2. With a Single object selected it will find and select faces that are coinstanced
