This MaxScript is for manipulate arch and design materials in the scene. At the moment it is limited to 90 materials, this you can change at your own risk (maybe on some computers it works with 200 materials).

This MacroScript works as an on/off toggle. When on, the currently active material in the material editor is applied to new objects that you create. It also works on objects that you copy that don't have materials.

It automatically enable only the mapping slots that have textures assigned to them.
It only works with materials that are assigned in the scene and have the keyword "_tg" in their name

Options that are included:
-- Turn on or off a particular mapping slot

Inserts into Material Editor sets of 24 SCENE materials.
If there are more than 24 materials in the scene you can choose, which set of 24 you want to load to the Material Editor (slate number one means get the first 24 scene materials, set number two means get the second set of 24 materials and so on).

UnwrapUVW Editor AutOOpen

v.2.3 Now, when you run Unwrap UVW_Editor_AutOOpen on an object where Unwrap already exists anywhere on the stack, it will become active in the editor. A new modifier will only be added if there is no modifier at all.

Теперь при запуске UnwrapUVW_Editor_AutOOpen на объекте, где в любом месте стека уже есть Unwrap, именно он станет активным в редакторе. Новый будет добавляться только если модификатор отсутствует вовсе.

Script makes. Скрипт делает
1) Assigns unwrap UVW. Назначается unwrap UVW

Render Holder Zorb is a max helper that is designed to help you manage, share and build render setting, render elements, material assignments and RPM passes. The main use for this is to us one or mutiple Render Holder with an asset file to store per pass render settings and materials.

You can store and restore the current Renderer, Render Elemants and object materials. Also there is a suit of RPM tools to help build and manage passes based on the settings stored on the Render Holder.  Including an object list to create the visability set with.

to install just extract to the 3dsmax root, or put the .ms file in scripts/startup or the plugins folder

For more help, hover your mouse over a button or checkbox in 3dsMax

Autodesk Material Converter - obsolete

The Autodesk Material Converter is a commercial script for all 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design users starting from release 2011 and up who need optimized materials for mental ray, V-Ray or VR applications. With one click all Autodesk Material Library materials are converted into Arch & Design or V-Ray materials. Conversion to Standard materials takes only two clicks

The major adavantage will be an increase in rendering speed (on average 35%) plus it will give you the flexibility you need for your material fine tuning. and of course you don't want to manually convert materials which are coming in from AutoCAD, Revit and Inventor into 3ds Max (Design)

Most VR applications need Standard materials to work with. The conversion to Standard works from Arch & Design or Vray materials

In addition to material conversion the script checks if there are double materials inside the scene. If they are there, they will be changed into instances, keeping the number of materials as low as can be.

New features in v2.5!

  • conversion from Arch&Design to V-Ray and back...it's there!
  • conversion of all Autodesk maps
  • conversion of some V-Ray specific maps or MentalRay specific maps
