A Script for Replacing Selected Objects with Picked Object , BUT with Group Support .

Note : When Replacing Groups its better to be closed .

INSTALL : drop it to max viewport or run it from Scripting Menu/Run Script , You'll Find it in "_My Scripts_" Category .

UPDATE 1 :

Instance Tool

Matan — Mon, 16 May 2011 13:14:49 +0000

Instance tool analyze the geometry objects in the scene and finds groups of objects that could be represented as instances of one of them. Then the user can turn every group into actual instances and choose which object from the group will be preserved. The objects in the group are objects that have the same topology (could be morph targets of one another) and the difference between them could be described with transformation alone.

Auto instances

Script Description

This script automatically finds objects with the same geometry and turns them into instances. This can reduce RAM consumption, scene file size, and save and open times for a scene. This script will be especially useful when optimizing other people's scenes and 3D models.

Move/Clone to cursor

mad — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 17:00:37 +0000

Hi, this is simple script which move or clone selected objects to surface under cursor. You can bind it to any hotkey (I usualy use Alt+S and Alt+C).

1.0.1

- initial releas

1.0.2

- settings can be binded to hotkey

- possibility to turn on random rotation in Z axis

1.0.3

- multiple object selection can be treated as object list, so in clone mode random object will be selected

- cloned objects can be automaticly moved to active layer

Hi, this is simple script which move or clone selected objects to surface under cursor. You can bind it to any hotkey (I usualy use Alt+S and Alt+C). In this current version additional settings are avaiable only by hidden function call ObjToCursorSettings() which can be called via MaxScript Listener.

Copy modifiers

andrfil — Fri, 28 Dec 2018 14:39:26 +0000

Simple tool for copy/instance modifiers from source object to selected array of objects. Does not copy only edite_poly modifier because 3dsmax does not allow doing this by script.

Modifier Instancer

masquerade — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:43:03 +0000

This simple scripts allows you to instance some or all modifiers of an object into large number of objects.

- just pick the source object

- select the modifiers that are going to be instanced. Press CTRL for multiple selection.

- select target objects

- Hit to the INSTANCE MODIFIERS

version history:

version 0.5

-Selected objects automatically will be added to the target list.

Find identical geometry and instance it

enthed — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:17:48 +0000

Everybody who have imported large amount of data from any cad system know that it normally kills the instancing. The intention of this script is to find geometrically identical nodes and instance them. This script will of course work if someone have used copy instead of instance in a scene and wants them instanced instead.

I'm happy to see that so many have tried out my Sunday hack that I made 5 years ago...but as it was only something to do for a Sunday its not really something I support. I would love to, but my daytime job takes all my time ;-)
