Function Sculptor

zOffset = x^2-y^2

Function Sculptor is a scripted plugin that deforms meshes, polys or splines according to an arbitrary, user-input function. This allows easy creation of an endless variety of smooth, precisely curved surfaces. It also enables the mathematically precise curving of splines for extrusions, path-deforms and lofts.

It uses the world-x, y, and z coordinates of points to displace those points in world-z.

Editable spline shape with 2 sub-splines, before and after sculpt:

Hard Edges Selection maxscript pack is couple of maxscript which allows select Hard Edges in Editable Poly object or in Edit Poly modifier in 3ds Max. Hard edges – this is edges between smoothing groups. You can see it if you check Display Hard Edges parameter in Editable/Edit Poly.

Override -Selection Mode- & -Convert Selection- in EditablePoly/UnwrapUVW

This script override selection mode in EditablePoly/UnwrapUVW AND allow to Convert subobject selection to an another in EditablePoly and Unwrap

Hit 1 or 2/3/4/5 ==> go in vertex/edge/..() mode
Re-hit 1 or 2/3/4/5 ==> go in object mode and you can select another object!
I have added a line, with "Max modify mode", like this, if your are not in "modify panel" when you select an object and hit 1 to set vertex mode, the script go automatically in the panel "modify"

Install:
Go in Customize User Interface, Group "Main UI", Category "zOffTy Tools" and set
1 for epoly_vertex

Respectively makes Paint Deform Push Pull Values bigger or smaller by
20% (20% because every four times the size roughly doubles/halves).
Only for editable poly objects. I have assigned these to my shift and
ctrl up and down arrows.This is really use full when I do terrain work.

Poly Loop Soft Select – 3dsmax MAXScript, allows when working with Editable Poly object in Edge sub-object mode filter Soft Selection by selected edge’s loop.

When Poly Loop Soft Select filter Soft Selection only edges which connected to selected edge will remain.

Conform selected objects to other objects's surface. The scripts works only with Collapsed Editable Poly objects from the selection. Other objects in selection are left intact.
Known issues
Sometimes when operating with surface objects with too many vertices some vertex may not be placed over the surface.
This tool is still in development phase so any feedback is quite welcome.

Simple process preview is available here:

This script converts the selection to Editable Poly and then quadrifies all polygons.

It`s simple but I personally find it useful when merging downloaded archives with triangled meshes.

PolyRotor is a modeling script that based on drag & drop.

PolyRotor make it possible to select vertex, edge and faces automatically.

But it should be in Editable Poly Mode.
