A very simple Camera Lister which allows to select and assign cameras by clicking it in the list.

Leftclick: Select the camera
Rightclick: Assign to current active Viewport

Very simple one but still my most used Script for daily work ;)

This tool just holds a list of key objects u want to quickly select or view. helpful when in a scene with a crapload of nodes when ur really only animating a few of them. Additionally if u right click an item in the list u will zoom extents of it (if geometry), or look from its perspective (camera or light). It also keeps the list variables as persistant... so u can open and close it without changin the list.. even closing and loading the scene.

New MaxScript. Simple and handy as aways. Free.
It's very useful for my use. You can quickly save and recall up to 5 groups of selections. You can increment memories adding objects to them (Which is SO useful in some situations (to help in the process of organizing big and messy scenes)...
Hide and Un-Hide from Memory buttons. Isolate groups, etc.

BTW, the video says QuickSelect, but i changed the script name to Memento.;)

Control Hidden and Frozen Objects

1 vote

what this script does:
1- unfreeze objects by name
2- select freeze objects and move, rotate or scale them without unfreezing them.
--this is useful when you have several frozen objects and you do not want unfreeze all of them to select one of them.

3- select hidden objects, delete, more or...without unhide them

if you have some heavy hidden objects and you need delete them, first you should unhide them, then delete them but with this script you can select hidden objects and just delete them without unhide them.

--how it work,

It is recommended that you use the Y up coordinate system to perform operations on character assets such as unity3D.

Use after 3D modeling mesh editing and size checking.

Option_Move : Moving the Selected Model is Location is all 0.0
Option_Rotate: When released, it is not affected by the coordinate system.

Final Apply : Button is apply all of the above.
