Straighten Edge

69 votes

Straighten Edge (maxscript) allows projecting and placing selected vertices/edges on the given straight line on the Editable Poly object, Edit Poly modifier, and Editable Spline & Line objects.

When the SHIFT key is pressed, vertices/edges will be straightened with axis constraints

Advanced UV Normalizer

8 votes

Advanced UV Normalizer (AUVN) is a tool for normalizing the Texel Density across different objects.

It has a comprehensive set of features to calculate, get, set and modify the Texel Density of your models based on different parameters such as Geometry Area, Texture Area, UV Area as well as the Geometry/Pixels and Geometry/UVs Ratios.

The Texel Density can be set using a fixed texture size, or you can assign different AUVN textures and normalize them all at once using their texture size.

PolySmoother

PolySmoother is a professional tool to efficiently work with Smoothing Groups.

It allows you to visualize and manage the Smoothing Groups in a quick and easy way. You can set Hard and Soft edges, select edges by convexity, copy, paste, modify and optimize Smoothing Groups, as well as convert them from and to UV mapping, among many other features.

With Seams Viewer you can visualize UV seams, geometry open edges and smoothing groups hard edges in real time.

XFormer

12 votes

XFormer is a tool that will allow you recover the transformation of an object.

Some scenarios where you might want to restore an object transformation could be:

  • After a model transformation matrix was reset (Reset XForm)
  • If you have detached part of an object as another object
  • If you import a model and it is not aligned as you would expect

QuadSphere

9 votes

QuadSphere is an Object Plugin that creates spheres made of quads, which are useful for low polygon modeling and mesh subdivision.

Unlike TurboSmooth, with QuadSphere you can specify a level of subdivisions that is not power of 2. Another advantage is that the areas of the faces are more evenly distributed than using a Box with TurboSmooth.

Additionally you can unify the Materials IDs, create hemispheres with or without caps, and convert the object to poly with a single click.

UI screenshot

Script to find duplicate faces. It was made for specific task of removing inner faces of a model made from voxel-like boxes. Don't expect it to be a universal solution.
Though also has an option for finding duplicates of outer faces.
