Architecture to Standard Material Converter

4 votes

This macroscript converts Architectural materials to Standard materials for use with VR exporters that require this setup.

Attach by Same Material

2 votes

Attached all geometry with the same material to the currently selected object. This collapses to editable poly first, so make sure you're cool with that before you click. :)

Created for merging objects in heavy architecture scenes recieved in Max format with large numbers of individual objects.

Autodesk_Map to Bitmaptexture

3 votes

This script looks for Autodesk_Map textures in all scene materials and replaces them with standard bitmaps instead. Now that this script is finally general purpose, I'll be rolling a copy of it into the my Autodesk to Standard Material Converter script. The stand-alone version of the script will remain here as usual.

Autodesk_Map textures are generally found in Max files with data imported from Revit.

BadShell: Nested Shell and Multimaterial Detection

2 votes

Detects and selects objects with nested shell and multi materials so they can be addressed by the artist.

GridWork

3 votes

GridWork is a set of tools for working with grid based tiles of geometry. It primarily features things like offsetting objects by the spacing and direction of the current grid, moving shifted off selections of geometry back on the grid, and replacing uninstanced pieces of geometry with instances of a reference object.

 

Material Name to Mat ID Name

2 votes

Material IDs are blank by default. This populates the blank names by copying the names of the current submaterial, ignoring undefined materials and slots that already have names in them.

Written in Max 2016, but should work in all other recent versions as well.

Refresh Icons

0 votes

Macroscript for making a button that refreshes button icons using colorMan.reinitIcons(). That's basically the entire script right there. :)

Sanitize Object Names

2 votes

Removes special characters from object names which can cause issues with network rendering. These often appear when bringing in a model from Revit.

- Inch and feet characters (" and ') are replaced with in and ft.
- Both 's and s' are replaced with s.
- Most other common special characters are currently replaced with underscores.

ShellBake: Set Up Shells for Baking VRay Lightmaps

2 votes

To transfer maps from one type of material to another after a bake for game exporters that primarily look for Standard materials.

This is currently limited to just the diffuse map.

To use: Run the Macroscript and add ShellBake to a toolbar from the category: #_SP_BakeScripts

SnapSwap

2 votes

A tool for replacing the currently selected geometry with a same named snapshot (old model is deleted). Can be used for dealing with corrupt geometry.

To use: Run the macroscript, and add SnapSwap to a toolbar from the category "# SP_MeshScripts".
