Find Coinstances

Find CoInstances works in two ways:

1. With Multiple Objects selected it will find objects that are cloned on top of each other resulting in animation flickering

2. With a Single object selected it will find and select faces that are coinstanced

Find identical geometry and instance it

Everybody who have imported large amount of data from any cad system know that it normally kills the instancing. The intention of this script is to find geometrically identical nodes and instance them. This script will of course work if someone have used copy instead of instance in a scene and wants them instanced instead.

I'm happy to see that so many have tried out my Sunday hack that I made 5 years ago...but as it was only something to do for a Sunday its not really something I support. I would love to, but my daytime job takes all my time ;-)

Helixometry is a geometry plugin for 3ds Max that creates helix shaped meshes. All of its controls are animatable. The biggest benefit to this over the spline helix is the ability to taper the thickness of the mesh as well as twisting and turning. Check it out.

Helixometry 1.0
- Start/End radius
- Height/Radius bias control
- Number segments that make up helix
- Number of turns
- Height of helix
- Radius randomizing option

Honeycomb is a free scripted geometry plug-in (for 3ds Max 9 SP1 and higher)
that build procedural hexagonal tiles surface sorted in 4 shape types.

Instance Tool

Instance tool analyze the geometry objects in the scene and finds groups of objects that could be represented as instances of one of them. Then the user can turn every group into actual instances and choose which object from the group will be preserved. The objects in the group are objects that have the same topology (could be morph targets of one another) and the difference between them could be described with transformation alone.

Poster for v5

A Must-have plug-in for fast modeling! Now with ProBoolean.

Fast 1-click boolean operations with multiple objects:
-Attach selected objects to the first selected object. (Matches material IDs)
-Union selected objects.
-Subtract selected objects from the first selected object.
-Subtract the last selected object from the other selected objects.
-[ProBoolean] Union selected objects.
-[ProBoolean] Subtract selected objects from the first selected object.
