Skip Every N-th

61 votes

Skip every vert/edge/face. In Loop mode, you can skip edges and polygons. In Ring mode you can skip vertices,edges and polygons. To make poly loop select 3 faces(the middle one is starting face), check PolyLoop checkbox, set "Skip V-E-P" spinner to value greater then 2 and start skiping. You can't skip one face, only 2 or more. Ring mode does not have this limitation. "For Steps" spinner works only with edges. If you want to skip every 2 edges five times, set "Skip" spinner to 2 and "For Steps" spinner to 5. Instalation: Drag-n-drop SkipEveryNthVEPRingLoop.mzp to 3ds max.

Polygon Creator

This script is very useful for car exterior modelling. It allows you to create really smooth polygonal surface using splines or NURBS curves to control the shape of the surface. Also allows you to control the edge loops of the surface. With this script you have to draw only the borders of the surface you want. Watch the video or the help page for more information!

Poly Random ID

16 votes

Hi

This is just a modification of Jon Seagull's script to randomize poly IDs on an editably poly, but you can choose the number of adjacent polygons it randomizes. Meaning, that it can randomize groups of polygons and not just single polygons. Very useful with polys with lots of similar elements, like Ivy Generator and trees, in which you randomize the elements to have different kinds of leaves.

 

Hope you find it as useful as I did

Mouse Loop-Ring

The script for selection PolyLoop with mouse double click.
For selection PolyRing hold down the shift key.

The second click should be done with a small delay.

*Notes

Now supported with Edit_Poly_Modifier.

These few scripts adds some new functions to your quad menu like hiding,selecting and isolating by objects layer or material.

PolyRotor

PolyRotor is a modeling script that based on drag & drop.

PolyRotor make it possible to select vertex, edge and faces automatically.

But it should be in Editable Poly Mode.

Poly2Surf

Conform selected objects to other objects's surface. The scripts works only with Collapsed Editable Poly objects from the selection. Other objects in selection are left intact.
Known issues
Sometimes when operating with surface objects with too many vertices some vertex may not be placed over the surface.
This tool is still in development phase so any feedback is quite welcome.

Quickly assigns a subdiv modifier (meshsmooth or turbosmooth) to all scene or selected objects. This is good if say you want to have all objects in your scene converted into subdivs at rendertime without the need to constantly select objects, find the right modifier, assign the modifier, etc.

selectionHighlighter

This script simulates the Selection Highlighting mode from Silo in max. The idea is if you hover over an object, the object is selected, if you hover over a vertex, it selects the vertex, if you hover over an edge, the edge is selected, etc. No need for extra mouseclicks. Autodesk has half added this feature, this script goes all the way to adding full silo style selection highlighting. Note: This only works in max 2008.
