Material Name to Mat ID Name

Submitted by Smallpoly on Thu, 2016-10-20 15:22

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.

Attach by Same Material

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.

SnapSwap

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".

Refresh Icons

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

Strip Paths from Bitmaps

Removes current paths from all bitmaps in the scene. Primarily for getting rid of irrelevant paths on files recieved from users on other systems.

This functions in a similar way to stripping paths manually in asset tracking, but when doing that I've found that it can lag a lot and sometimes fail to strip some of the paths until you do it multiple times.

Bad paths can cause lag when Max tries to search for the missing textures, especially when they're pointing to a nonexistent network location.

WorldViz R4 Lightmap to R5

This script is for users of WorldViz software to aid in the conversion of scenes using R4 materials to R5 materials. Specifically, this swaps baked maps from their old slot in Standard materials (self-illumination) to their new slot (ambient).

Sanitize Object Names

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.

Autodesk_Map to Bitmaptexture

Submitted by Smallpoly on Fri, 2014-06-27 12:33

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.

ShellBake: Set Up Shells for Baking VRay Lightmaps

Submitted by Smallpoly on Thu, 2017-04-20 12:38

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

STEP Adjust loops through Body Objects, such as ones imported from STEP files, to quickly swap between the Coarse, Medium and Fine presets.
