Turn Viewport Maps On/Off

70 votes

This is a very simple script for turning Bitmaps on and off in the view port. It has been very popular in the studio that I work at work so I though I would upload it. Its funny how the simple ones are the ones that every one likes. Anyways it will let you turn view port maps on or off, it works with Standard and V-Ray materials. It also handles multi sub materials with no troubles, you can also choose to display Bump or Reflection maps. If you have any troubles or ideas for new features please let me know.

This is a little tool to get the scripspot rss feed directly in max, displayed on the viewport. It of course only shows max related stuff, updates every 7 minutes and thats about it for descriptions.

UImod is a new UI for modifiers that is displayed in overlay of your active viewport in 3ds Max.

You can make a button from the modifierstack of your selection. This will save all the modifiers on this object and all the values of the properties of the modifiers. You can see this in the video where I change some checkboxes and values of modifiers.

Right clicking on the button gives you the properties of the button. You can change the name and folor of the button. More options will be coming soon.

Save and restore unlimited views.
You can save views in one scene and load them in another scene.
Double click in the list to restore the saved view.

The idea come from AutoCAD where you can save up to 5 views. Im not sure (never see) how exactly this feature works in AutoCAD, I just read about this in the ScriptSpot.com, and I hope this tool is useful anyway ;-)

Assign the macroscript to a hotkey. Space bar for example. A menu will appear around your cursor that allows you to quickly switch to different views.

For the installation simply drag and drop the mzp file to the viewport. Go to Customize/Customize User Interface/ Keyboard. And under the group Norman3D select Viewport Swtich and assign it to a hotkey.

 

EDIT: Fixed an issue in the script that would cause an error on 3dsMax 2010

showNodeLabels

Example for viewport labelsThis macroscript allows you to turn on text labels for specific scene nodes, so you can permanently see the node names in the viewport, even if they currently are not selected. This is for the viewport only (the labels will not render) and the label will follow the bounding box of your nodes, whether you animate them, or change their geometry in any other way.
