Tagged 'Proxy'

Frankly the default 3dsMax render settings bug me. They don't deal with modern cameras. The proxy settings are hard coded and can't be changed. There's no easy way to create over-scanned frame without a calculator. So I've written my own tool to fix these problems.

There several rollouts in this tool, each dealing with a separate task.

Using the FilePathFinder you can be sure that you have complete control over external links into your scenes.

Asset tracking features include support for XREF files and easy linking with external files.

Using the FilePathFinder (and Batch Render&Relink), you can search for missing assets and relink external files.

In addition, files that are linked to selected objects are displayed in Interactive Mode, and bitmap textures can be toggled and placed within the Material Editor.

Also with this tool, you can easily make an archive a 3ds Max scene.

Note that FilePathFinder supports the highest number of asset types of any plug-in.

The new version of FilePathFinder is released with support to 3ds Max 2025

and many new features that improve managing scene assets

OTHER FIXES

• Fixes some minor issues with renaming multiple and single assets
• Fixes an issue with storing some settings on relinking
• Fixes an issue with rendering preview for files with missing assets using VRay with some specific settings
• Fixes some issues with HiDPI screens
• Fixes an issue with resizing images using a percentage value

For each object in your selection a proOptimzer modifier will be applied and calculated to the percentage you specify.

Once applied and you can update the spinner in the UI and see your objects update in real-time.

This script is very similar to a script Jason Schleifer wrote from Maya, it allows you to split a predefined object into several segments based on the transforms of special cutter objects, these segments can then be linked back into a skeleton hierarchy. The advantage of displaying segmented geometry in the viewport rather than the skinned mesh is that you get faster playback speeds.

When you evaluate this script it create a new "Category" in the "Customize User Interface" window called "Harry's Proxy Creator" where you'll find the tool
