This script will transfer the normals from a source object to a target object, based on distance.

Transfering normals might have several uses : fix shading artefacts, enhance foliage cards look, toon shading...

Pick the source object, select the target object/faces and press steal !

  • Works with any geometry object.
  • Keeps the stack.
  • Adds an Edit Normals modifier.

Script will be found in the customize UI under category "Noors"

 Align Pivot to DIrection(vector) allows you to align the X, Y,Z or XYZ axis of the local pivot of each of the selected objects to the direction(vector), defined by two picked in the scene points. SNAP will be turned ON automatically.  If the Shift key is down when the axis is choosen the pivot will be moved to the first picked point.

Version 1.1 should works properly with Pen(tablets).

This is a script like autogrid. You can move, instance and copy objects all over the place! ShiftPress the button for options (move, instance, copy, lock rotation and lock scale)

How it works: select an object and press the button. click and drag (left-right = scale, top-down:rotation)

If you select multiple objects it will choose a random one.

tested on Max 2012/2013

Overview:
A simple tool to render out top down maps from 3dsmax. An ideal way utilizing the tool would be in creating tilable textures. Besides tilable textures, this will help in overlaying additional small scale details on already made in-game meshes in a much more straight forward fashion.

How to Install

Tool to fix seams between 2 objects by averaging or copying the normals from one another's borders.

The user needs to select the same number of vertices on both mesh with an EditPoly modifier named "VertSelect". It's created automatically when the meshes are picked if they don't already have them.

The tool will compute the closest vertices from each other and uses those normals.

Conform selected objects to other objects's surface. The scripts works only with Collapsed Editable Poly objects from the selection. Other objects in selection are left intact.
Known issues
Sometimes when operating with surface objects with too many vertices some vertex may not be placed over the surface.
This tool is still in development phase so any feedback is quite welcome.

If you have high polygon file and low polygon file finished UV mapping process before,
this tool can  extract Normal, Diffuse, Ambient Occlusion, Lighting map in one single image within 3DS Max.
So you don't  need to use Photoshop to collaborate all these map images in a single image file.
Baking process will be easily done in a minuite by using this tool.

1. Easy hide unhide delete low poly object, high poly object
2. Auto Import highpolygon
3. Single Import highpolygon
