Kenzors Mirror Ball

This maxScript generates a mirror ball. I wrote it for fun, as part of some project related RnD.

There are a few parameters for you to play with, and it's a lot faster than building one by hand. But be warned things can get a little slow with a lot of mirrors. You can download it as part of my maxScript pack.

This is a 3dsMax previsualization tool. It allows you to jump cameras and time to previs scenes.

Its the only tool I know that allows you to skip anywhere in time to create 'cuts' in 3dsmax like a video editing package

Camera resolution tool

Frankly the default 3dsMax render settings bug me. They don't deal with modern cameras. The proxy settings are hard coded and can't be changed. There's no easy way to create over-scanned frame without a calculator. So I've written my own tool to fix these problems.

Tweak Camera Dialog

There several rollouts in this tool, each dealing with a separate task.

Raytracer

Raytracer literally throws rays (as splines) and traces their path as they reflect off of surfaces in the scene. This is helpful if you want to visualise the path of light (or sound) and not to visualise the actual ray-traced rendering. You can choose an object of any shape. The script will convert it into an Editable Poly and throw a ray from each of its faces. Therefore, you can have parallel rays by choosing a segmented plane. If you want to throw rays in almost every direction, choose a highly segmented sphere.
