Simply selects the active camera from the current viewport (even if cameras / layer is hidden). If you've ever been frustrated because you're working full screen looking through the camera lens then need to change something about your camera, this script is for you. In that case you just run the script and bam you're able to edit camera properties in the stack or adjust keys in the time slider all with a single keystroke instead of having to hunt around in the select by name dialog...

The script is a small floating dialog which will mainly let you switch between cameras
in your scene. (plus some other handy features built-in)

"Select a camera - then run this MacroScript in 3ds max R6 to create a geometric representation of the camera's view frustum (can be useful - for example - in combination with Vol.Select to remove geometry that is not seen by the camera).Will handle non-square pixels - renaming objects and allows for an offset between camera FOV and view frustum angle. [Based on code by Christopher Subiago]"

Teensy little script that creates a geometry cone that mimics the camera cone. It creates a pyramid - and does some wiring to make it match the camera - and stay matched - even if you animate the position - and fov. The purpose of the geometry is to use in a mesh vol select to pass up the stack to modify an object/faces only when they are in view of the camera.

This script creates a new animated camera that animates along the scene cameras. Every position and rotation is stored in an animation key. It lets you render a number of cameras without making numerous network renderjobs or having to set up the video post every time.

"Let's you output camera data (including transformation. fov. resolution and other camera specific data). It exports to an ascii file. with format comments in the file itself. Also attached in the zip is a script for maya that does the same thing (melscript written by Imre Lovasz) (basically. this set is good for exchanging animated camera between the two apps).

This is a 3dsMax previsualization tool. It allows you to jump cameras and time to previs scenes.

Its the only tool I know that allows you to skip anywhere in time to create 'cuts' in 3dsmax like a video editing package

Installation instructions are here.
