Script for automating the process of getting 3dsMax's native stretchy bones into any game engine: creating a separate de-hierarchized bone structure that follows the motion of the base bone structure and automatically migrating skin weights on a mesh to those new bones.

USAGE:
Select the bones that you want to be affected with "Pick bones" button.
Select the affected mesh with a skin modifier with "Pick skinned object" button.
Press "Convert and reskin" button.

IMPORTANT:

This is a script I did for a co-worker. It takes a vertex selection and turns that into a shape. It is the same as taking an edge loop and converting it to a shape but with less button clicks. Actually that is how it is scripted as well. It takes a vertex selection and converts it to a edge selection and then shrinks it to get the right edge loop. Then it just converts the edge to a shape. Pretty simple but it might help your work flow if you need something like this often enough.

Small script used to convert cameras from one type to another. It currently supports Corona Camera, Vray Physical Camera, Fstorm Camera, 3dsMax Standard Camera and 3dsMax Physical Camera.

Note that it may not work if you don’t install the renderer corresponding to that Camera in 3dsMax. It does not require a license of the software, so you can install a trial version of the application if you just need to convert it to your renderer.

MAIN FEATURES

This script converts all Dummies (into containers) in the scene that have objects parented to them.

It is useful when importing a scene from Maya (pressing the option Send to 3ds Max automatically converts the groups from maya to Dummies into 3ds max).
