miauu's Layer Colorizer allows you to assign custom background and text colors to any layer in the Layer or Scene Explorer.

You can also apply the same color to all child objects of a colorized layer for better visual organization.

You can save your preferred colors in a Color Palettes and reuse them anytime.

OutFiler file browser

The OutFiler is a simple but powerful file browser inside 3dsmax that completely replaces standard save/load/save selected/merge/import/export dialogs. I believe folder tree much more comfortable and transparent.

The OutFilers provides the ability to quickly find the necessary folders, save the history of movements along them with back/next buttons and recent list and the favorite paths for quick access to working scenes.

Delete UnRemovable Layer

You might encounter a situation where you want to remove an empty layer that you created earlier, but the delete option is grayed out in the layer manager. and you are unable to remove that layer. After all you have to remember that 3Ds Max never allows you to delete a layer while it contains nodes or the default layer called “0”. But in some rare situations, even an empty layer that you created and then finished with, may not be deletable in 3Ds Max. This happens because of some unclassified nodes that come with your imported models from other programs. These nodes are not visible in the viewport or the layer manager. The only way to eliminate them is to select those nodes using MaxScript and delete them manually, so the layer’s delete option becomes available again.

Power Masker

The 3dsmax UI only allows you to set material effects ID up to 16 channels. The VRayMtl allows you to go beyond this using the effects ID override but other types of materials don't have any UI to adjust this. This tool using a backdoor into 3dsmax to set the effects ID beyond the 16 limit imposed by the UI.

This means you can create masks for every material in your scene. Using this tool you can either assign effects IDs by hand or just press to automatically create them and their mask render elements.
