3DS Max Plugin Update - Lights Switch V2.0

Submitted by miledrizk on Thu, 2023-08-03 23:06

This is an update for the plugin I wrote 6 years ago, called Lights Switch.
The reason behind the update was an e-mail from a user who had a small issue with a scene full of Cororna lights, where the script managed to turn all lights OFF, but for some reason failed to turn them ON again.
After inspecting the script, I recognized the bug and fixed it.

Basically, the script, when clicked, will go through all lights in the scene, and if any light is ON it will turn it OFF. On the other hand, if the script sees that all lights are OFF it will turn them all ON again.

As you know the Vray Physical Camera is no longer available
In the recent releases of 3DS Max.
So I created a small script that will allow you to create it as you used to do. After installing the script you can create a toolbar for it and place in your main UI.

This plugin allows the user to copy-paste objects from an opened AutoCAD file into 3DS Max.

The script offers many filtering options for the imported objects like:
1-removing the prefix "Layer:" and this will make it easier to select objects by name
2-remove any material applied to the imported objects
3-remove the Block/Style Parent hierarchies
4-select the imported objects when importing is done
5-turn the imported objects into a group

3DS Max - Plugin - ZoomExtSelFix

This plugin is intended to replace the built-in Zoom Extents Selected. The reason is that the built-in feature doesn't work the way it should in many cases as you'll see in the video and instead of zooming in on the selected object, it zooms out to show the whole scene.

In this update, the script will work on sub-object selections. Also, a bug in the first version is fixed, when you switch to another mode other than the Modify Panel, the first version gives an error, this is fixed now in this 1.5 version.
To recap on why this plugin:
The default Zoom Extents Selected tool in Max has an issue when you're in a sub-object level but no sub-object element is selected, pressing Z(the default shortcut) causes Max to Zoom Extents on the whole scene instead of the selected object.

This is an update for the CopyPaste plugin. This plugin allows you to copy and paste geometry between opened 3DS Max files, of course, in the same file too. This version includes a few additional features. The most important one is the ability to copy and paste using a base point. Also, there is a button that allows you to clear the cache file to save space on the hard drive. And, lastly, a Status section that gives you feedback whenever you perform an action. Please check the demo video for an in-depth explanation.

3DS Max - Plugin [Update] Isolate By Material v2.5

This is a second update for the Isolate By Material plugin. This update brings a huge increase in speed, especially in those scenes where you have a huge amount of groups and nested groups. What this plugin does is, you select a single object, then use the script to isolate all objects with the same material, and if the selected object has no material applied, it will warn you of that, if you click Yes you will isolate all objects with no materials applied to them, which is useful if you forgot to apply materials to some objects, the script will help you to discover that.
