A CMD utility to externally re-path 3ds Max files

Submitted by loocas on Mon, 2013-03-04 09:41

This is a simple tool I wrote in IronPython and compiled to a usable .exe program for re-pathing or examining 3ds Max (.max and .mat) files without actually running 3ds Max.

It's pretty useful for batch re-pathing before rendering on render farms, for example. Or just to view what type of files are being linked in your .max and .mat scene files and material libraries, respectively.

Detach Splines

Submitted by Swordslayer on Sun, 2020-10-18 13:43

Breaks the selected shape object (Line or Editable Spline) into as many objects as there were splines in the original object. Unlike the other explode scripts, this one doesn't try to rebuild the splines point by point and instead duplicates the object and deletes all the other splines, which means they all keep the original attributes like material, material ID, interpolation settings, renderable settings and so on.
