(Copied from Neil Blevins' email list)

Updated several older scripts, here's the major updates:

splinePainter: Added ability to close the spline after creation.
sLib: Added sLibPowerNurbsFilter.
powerSolidManager: Also works on Power Nurbs now.
parameterManager: Added a progress bar to startup, hopefully it'll build it's list a little faster, or at least you'll know it hasn't crashed. Fixed a couple of crash bugs.
modifierUtilities: Changed the default modifiers. You can get the old set back by making your own custom set of default modifiers.
wireBundler: Modified the parameters of SplineMesher to create more consistent results.

This isn't particularly related to 3ds Max but there is (I've heard a patch may have already gone out) a very serious IE vulnerability that can allow any saved passwords to be stolen by a malicious website. According to the article - security pro's a recommending switching browsers (at least for the time being) to one of the alternatives such as Firefox or Google Chrome.

Editable mesh / Poly modifier

Submitted by aklvis on Mon, 2008-10-20 15:17

Hey Guys,

recently I've been doing quite a few curtain-walled high rises. My usual workfow for this (to retain procedurality, so it can be changed as the building is further refined) is to create a single pane of glass and then using itoo's clone plugin I instance it a number of times then apply a path deform. Which wraps it around the building. I then apply another clone modifier which arrays it up the building.

I then usually put an edit-poly above it and then using soulburns script I apply a small amount of random rotation to the planes to give a more realistic reflection.

NOTICE: I had to make some major changes to sLib to remove several recursion bugs that could cause max to crash. I've successfully removed the bugs, but it's possible I may have introduced new ones, despite a lot of testing to make sure all of the functions still work correctly. If you see any weirdness where scripts you know worked aren't working as expected anymore, please get in touch with me immediately. Thanks.

Updated several older scripts, here's the major updates:
