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.

This is a script I created to automatically setup your Irradiance Map for V-Ray. Basically you select what camera you want to render from, select what frame range, the path where you want your Irradience Maps to Generate to and the information automatically goes into your Irradiance settings. It will even create the file for you.

This is useful for companies that send many animations via network rendering by saving time in setting up your irradiances.

Textures2materials is a very handy plugin which can turn multiple textures into materials at once (into multi-material or into multiple material slots). It also checks if your textures have a bump versions and load them as bump. "Must have" plugin for any 3D designer.

Just for fun - create gradient ramp which goes from thin lines to thick so that it can be mapped for example to a falloff map (Shadow/Light falloff pictured).
