This MAXScript collects all of the bitmaps in your scene, converts them to mental ray .map files, places them into
a directory of your choice, and replaces all bitmap textures with a 'mib_texture_lookup2' shader containing the new
.map files.

FFX-Render-Manager

Big scale effects require usually more than one FFX. Having a lot of FFX and holdout objects asks for a lot of memory. Limited memory means rendering in passes. Different lights and shaders per pass multiply the renderpasses again.

To setup a render, it takes some steps and usually you forget one and need to resubmit. That's why I wrote this script, that overviews everything and gives the ability to set it up fast.

I avoided using .NET intentionally, because in big scenes it sometimes takes a long time just to open a scripted tool.

With this script you can copy settings from one FumFx to many others, you can also select which settings you want to copy.
Double clicking in the scripts list will open the clicked FumeFx's UI. Rightklicking the Reference FumeFx in the scripts UI will open the Reference FumeFx UI.
Selecting a path and forcing it will create a separate folder for each FumeFx with its name inside the specified parent folder.
And finally running the simulation for all FumeFx in the list, or if desired, running the Reference FumeFx as leader of the list is possible.

enjoy!

This is a script that enables you to bake inherited transformations onto the root node of a Biped. For example – you may have an animation where the biped is parented under another controlling object – but you need to convert that animation back no regular Biped keys on the root node ( in world space ) … this script will do that for you.
