Submitted by nudity on Tue, 2011-11-01 15:24

are there any asset browsers out there that can save groups, characters, wire paramaters, etc. most of the free one Ive downloaded (projectmanager, patanouk) dont have this feature, do you know of any asset browsers that are good at managing groups?

Now you can add a custom file

Now you can add a custom file format to work in Project Manager.

Example how to add new default extension into “Models” category:
Open “ProjectManager.ini” ("C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\maxversion\enu\scripts\TrackScripts\ProjectManager")

Find section "[ModelsExtension]"
Type desired extension => for example ".bip=true"

After open the context-menu and add to custom menu two scripts - "Create-apply biped obj from file.ms" and "Save biped object.ms"

Now you can save and merge to scene biped objects.
