Shader Utilities Pro (SU Pro) is a tool to create all kinds of shadings within a scene. Part of the tool is a converter, which converts foreign shadings to A&D material. SU offers the possibility of using parameters like AO and Round Corners globally on all shadings. There are 3 selection criteria for doing this: The latest addition is the Sample Curve Technology used to optimize the Sample-Types, AO, Reflection and Refraction globally for an entire scene or all materials. This has major advantages

This is a quick way to test MR daylight in your scene. Only few params are included, so
if you want to adjust more, you still have to go to motion panel.
What it does:
1. makes daylight system with Helsinki latitudes
2. turns current renderer to MR with draft FG settings
3. adds exp control

Delete button turns back to scanline with no environment or exp control

Working with mental ray proxies can be very tedious. As they are used for vegetation alot, the need for variation is there, to make it look believable. This script gives you options to vary scale and all animations aspects of all selected mr proxies. It also has a minimized version where you can quickly change the viewport resolution of your proxies, helping to speed up the viewport alot.

Ambient Occlusion Pass Switcher for Mental Ray

The script will set up the scene for the calculation of Ambient Occlusion Pass.

The script will switch off lights, Final Gathering, GI, Exposure, Enviroment map and create Standard material customized for AO pass and put it into override material slot in "processing" tab. AO map parameters should be set up by user himself.

After creating AO, you can return the initial state of the scene by turning off AO rendering mode (click again on the button).

------------------------------------

installation:

1. Run the script.

The script switches any texture file to use a Mental Ray .MAP file instead, but only during rendering. This seems to help with big texture memory consumption.

Since 3ds MAX does not support Mental Ray .MAP, the script temporarily changes the file name to the .MAP file only during rendering and then change it back when rendering is ready.

This scripts enable you to change selected objects(with animation) to mr_Proxy objects.
And you can change some parameters of selected objects all at once.
Caution: If you wanna use property "AnimOffset", you have to apply Skin modifier or
other deformation modifier to an object, whose animation is just drived by linked hierarchy.

How to use: Just put this script to \3ds max root\ui\macroscripts\. Then, start up 3ds max,
and go to "Customize"->"Customize User Interface". You can find this script in a category "DSTRUEVISION".

A simple script for mental ray, which will give you a toggle for Global Illumination that you can have in a toolbar, quad or floater.

I created this as I found myself often turning GI on and off to test various assets in a scene in isolation.
