Simple XML Library for 3dsMax

Hi Everyone,

This is a library that simplifies working with XML files and XML Trees. It wraps the DotNet library's to provide a simpler way to work with XML. It has been kicking around the web on CgTalk and Tech Artists forum for quote a while so I thought I would post here.

It is implemented as to structs XMLDocument for working with XML files and XMLNode which represents a node in XML. It is very easy to use.

In the script at the bottom there is a complete example script documenting how to use it etc.

If you have any feedback or suggestions please let me know.

Cheers,

Shader Utilities Pro (SU Pro) is a tool to create all kinds of shadings within a scene. Part of the tool is a converter, which converts foreign shadings to A&D material. SU offers the possibility of using parameters like AO and Round Corners globally on all shadings. There are 3 selection criteria for doing this: The latest addition is the Sample Curve Technology used to optimize the Sample-Types, AO, Reflection and Refraction globally for an entire scene or all materials. This has major advantages

Obj-Selector of obj without a UVWMap modifier

This short script allows the user to automatically select all
objects in a scene that do not have a 'UVW Map' modifier applied to them.
This is useful especially for users who work with imported data from AutoCAD. The imported data contains uvw information, but in most cases the uvw coordinates need an overwork. This script makes it easier to isolate those objects in the scene.

Simply drag and drop the script into your 3ds max viewport after the import process is finished, et voilà.

TOCollectoREX is utility replacing and supplementing standard Resource Collector.

**IMPORTANT**
After more than 10 years I've finally decided to turn collectorex from internal utility to a public open source project. In the beginning it was paid utility, now it's completely free and not binded to hardware. Please feel free to edit code and commit here, use it as you like, distribute it freely, I just don't allow to sell my software as your own. That's it.

It allows gather all scene resources together, put them in specified place, find where all missing files are used (exactly in which objects). It can find which files in specified place are no longer used by scene. It also allows convert bitmaps to jpg, etc.
Utility supports XRefs of all types and processes all scenes linked to current.
Unlike all other such scripts, it really finds all resources (images, HDR-images, Vray meshes, IES-files, shaders), not only some bitmaps (Relink Bitmaps, Resource Collector). Below there is full description.

RH Map Node Renamer

It takes the material assigned to the selected object and assigns the name of the object to it. Then it checks if there is a bitmap texture assigned to "Diffuse", "Specular Level", "Opacity" and "Bump". If it finds a bitmap texture in the slot it renames the bitmap texture node to "Color", "Specular", "Opacity", "Normal". Then it also renames the textures asigned using the pattern "NameOfTheObject_NameOfSlot.*" ex. SmallBox_Color.bmp

This script goes through all the .max files in a given folder and checks if all the assets in the Asset Tracking System have their status set to "Ok". Once its done it pops an info box thats shows how many files where checked, and then gives you the name of the .max files that were wrong.

A utility for placing objects at the right height on complicate grounds.
Especially usefull when placing quickly great numbers of peoples, plants and cars on a big area with streets,parks and trottoirs at different heights.
Simply place them on a plan view and then run this utility.

Quite similar to the Drop script for Sketchup, but with some more control.

This script was developed due to a better usability of 3dsmax's material editor.
