CamMapMod - Camera Map replacer and updater

This is my first script ever, so improvements are to be made.

Doing Camera Mapping ?

Ever wished to replace and update all the Camera Map modifiers you want in one single click ?

Bored of selecting your meshes one by one and then choose your camera again and again ?

The wait is over. Because this tool may save you some great time, which you can then spend to refine you Matte Painting skills !

removeMissingPlugins

This is a small script for completely removing all references to missing plugins from your 3ds Max scene. For more details when running the tool, make sure to also read the info printed to the MAXScript listener.

Use with care (!) and do not save the results under the same file name!

The script will replace any missing plugin object with the first usable alternative object of the same class (e.g. a missing render effect will be replaced by the first available render effect). I cannot give any guarantees this will not mess up your data, your machine or your live.

After a long stretch of development, Project Manager 4 is officially out — the biggest release in the product's history, and now with full 3ds Max 2027 support.
The headline is AI Asset Classification.
Your library gets sorted automatically — by object type, material, and style — no manual tagging.

Project Manager 4 — What's New Since v3

Changelog · 3ds Max 2016–2027

AI-Powered Asset Classification

  • Automatic categorisation of 3D models and textures by object type, material, form, and style — no manual tagging required
  • Runs entirely on your machine — no cloud, no subscription, your assets never leave your computer
  • GPU-accelerated background processing at low priority — won't interfere with rendering or active work
  • Reclassify specific folders or categories on demand — no need to reprocess the entire library
  • Scale across a team: multiple workstations share the same database and classify in parallel

Colour Tools

  • Find assets by colour — pick from a palette and instantly see matching models or textures
  • Perceptual colour similarity search — finds visually related assets, not just exact hex matches
  • Find Similar by Colour in the right-click menu for models and textures

Find Similar

  • Find similar by content — AI matches 3D models by style, shape, and visual look
  • Find similar by colour palette — matches assets to a reference image or mood board by dominant colour proportions

Smarter Search & Filtering

  • Multi-keyword search: "Chair, Glass" finds a file named Chair.max described as "glass"
  • Category filter correctly includes all subcategories — filtering Furniture also returns Furniture → Chairs → Dining
  • Combine category and material filters: find glass-and-metal tables, or wooden ones, in one click
  • Categorised / Uncategorised quick filters — see which assets still need attention

Gallery & 3D File Browsing

  • Three gallery tabs for .max files: Models, Materials, and External Links
  • Drag materials directly from the gallery into your open 3ds Max scene
  • 3D viewport preview for FBX, 3DS, OBJ, and other formats — inspect geometry before importing
  • Edit external links inline — fix or replace missing textures without opening the .max file
  • Zoom & Pan for images — inspect textures at full resolution inside Project Manager

Migration & Compatibility

  • v3 and v4 share the same database format — point v4 at your existing library and go; no rebuild required
  • Run v3 and v4 side by side on the same team; supported from 3ds Max 2016 through 2027

Performance & Other Fixes

  • Significantly improved overall performance — faster navigation, filtering, search, and file/folder operations
  • Live sync in shared database mode — changes by colleagues appear automatically without reloading

Here's my version of LOD creation script, it uses multiRes modifier. It works on multiple geometry and retains the geo type. It retains the skin modifier too, so you can run on a skinned character as well. Feel free to use this script and lemme know if you want me to add any feature to it or if it has any bugs.
