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

RenderPreset operator for LPM 1.09+
- Stores render's parameters.
- Support all possible renderers.

*Allows you to solve this bug .
*Also allows you avoid Biped & Render Preset bug which returned since max 9 sp1 which was fixed. ( Using Render Presets on a file where a biped was present and motion mixer contains clips would result in a corrupt file when saved. (max 2011 x64 sp1) )

MR Daylight system

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

Render Info Strip

This script was created upon request as a vray frame stamp replacement, intended for mental ray and scanline rendrers.

It allows custom information to be displayed in the rendered image, with user defined font size, style, colors and opacity of the strip background. In addition to predefined keywords, there are five custom expressions and one script value. Original render frame buffer can either be closed or kept open. The settings and callbacks are saved in the .max files.

A simple script to remove the raytrace maps (Actually - replace them with empty bitmaps) from the scene's material library. This is for people using Vray/Mental ray as raytrace maps may (and will) slow down rendering times considerably

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.

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 simple and fun script creates a fast Ambient Occlusion. It should be used with Mental Ray. The operation is non-destructive, so you do not loose the original settings. I hope it can help you! :) Enjoy!
