3ds Max | Scripts

Hi All,

That's a small tool that allows you to pick a sub material from viewport instead of the multimaterial. It automatically loads the material in SME or CME (depending on what you have open). Holding "Shift", will act similar to default picker and it will load the source material.

This tool request came from Krešimir Jelušić on the Facebook group Stack (for more visit the link below). Dave Wortley (aka fb.me/MaxMadeEasy) also contributed with ideas and code. There is still some room from improvement but I'm not sure if I will have the time.

Easy way to animate linear rotations, for things like propellers, fans, and gears.  Works on multiple objects simultateously. Works on objects in heirarchies.  Works in both local and world space.  Simply set your desired amount of revolutions/rotations and time range and click "Create Keys". 

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.
