EasyDefectSubmission

This script pre-fills the Autodesk Defect Submission form with your user data. This makes it quicker to submit bugs by eliminating the process of entering all your details again and again..

After installation you can report bugs to Autodesk straight from within 3dsMax.

The user data is 'hard coded' in the script but easy to adjust even for non programmers.

Update 1.21:
-Bugs fixed, 100% working now, final version
-Focus issue fixed

How to create spline trails in Pflow?

Hey Guys,

I have a Pflow setup with particles coming out of a piece of geometry and I want to create trails with splines that follow the motion of each particle. I have a script that generates splines out of the particles trajectory but they are not animatable. I am trying to get a bunch of branch-like things growing out of my geometry while twisting and curving (hence the Pflow setup).

MCG Flatpack Fold/Spline

1 vote

So Mythbusters proved you can't physically fold anything on itself more than 7 times...well you can use this MCG and fold stuff however many times you want...as long as you've got enough verts !!!

A picture won't do jack...as what does a flatpack look like.....? a flat box....so you'll have to watch the video to see the effect.

Iterations is how many times you've folded it. Why is it not an integer ?...so you could animate 'fraction' of a fold, that's why.

This little tool manages and autoLoads scriptFiles in max.
You define scriptFiles to be loaded, it saves those to the registry and also creates an autostart file containing links to those scriptFiles. It does not manage/disturb any existing autoLoads.

Light meter

18 votes

This is a script I use to calculate the key to fill ratio of a scene. Pretty simple script right now. I eventually want to be able to just select all the lights in a scene and run the script to get a ratio back, that is when I can find the time. For now you just have to manually pick each light individually. Any feedback would be great.
