Stick Locator
=============
version 1.2

written by Mayec Rancel

(macroScript)

Description:
Creates a point dummy, and parents it to the reference object's vertex/center,
using controller expressions.

This is useful to parent other objects to a specific part of a deforming
mesh, or an object whose transforms have been 'baked' (e.g. point cache).

I have found it specially useful, in FX work, for particle/fluid emitters.

Notes:
- Only the 'center' method can be used with splines.
- When using 'vertex' method, the dummy's rotation will align to the

Reduce Transform Keys

This is not my first attempt at writing max script, I've hacked a ittle around the edges with adding custom attributes - Thanks PEN - but this is my first attempt at a useful/functional tool.

Reduce Your Transform Keys is designed to strip away all the transforms that don't do anything.

By default the range is set to your current animation range but you can confine the key pruning to a specific region for your timeline.

I don't like losing the key a frame 0 so I added a radiobutton to add one and ...

A simple script I wrote for my daily work. Maybe it will be useful for someone.
Rotation and Scale transormations are restricted to "geometry" and "helper" objects to avoid any errors.

- ROTATE selected objects by selected angle in specified axis
- RESET position / rotation / scale of selected objects in selected or all axes
- ALIGN position / rotation / scale of selected objects to min / average / max in specified axes
- apply a RANDOM (with given min and max values) position / rotation / scale in specified axes to selected objects.

Similar to array, but always rotates your objects to make a complete circle.

Nudge with Arrow Keys

Allows movement of selected object(s) using arrow keys. This was the behavior in 3dsmax prior to version7.

Copy/Paste transforms

Copies the transforms of selected objects to a
buffer and then pastes them onto a new or existing selection.
It has the option to paste the position and/or the
rotation
and can paste it flipped around a world or custom object's
axis.
Handy for mirroring poses or animation rig components.

I found when exporting from Sketchup in 3DS format I tended to use 'Export: Objects in Heirachy' which keeps the names of the objects in the transfer.

Reset XForm

PEN Reset Xform is designed to make the task of resetting xforms on objects easier. This is done by automating the process of locating objects that need to have their xforms orthogonalized and or normalized. Objects that have been mirrored at the object level or scaled at the object level in any way will result in a transform matrix that doesn't have all of its axes at right angles to each other or the axes are not one unit in length.
