Takes a selection and reduces the selection to include only a single instance from each set of instances.

Tutorial:

Make a sphere and instance it once. Make a 3rd sphere, copy it once. Select all 4 spheres. Run the script in UI mode. Hit Do. Now your 3rd, 4th and either the 1st or 2nd sphere is selected.

Extract Normal Data in Photoshop

This is a photoshop action. It will take an opened normal map (be it a texture or a rendered normal map from your render) and extract the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom data for use in re-lighting a render. The intended use is for using a normal map pass along with the rgb rendered image to re-light or tweak an image using the normal map data pass.

Selecting objects in a layer

Submitted by pcpyro on Tue, 2009-08-25 12:27

I am currently trying my hand at MaxScripting and have currently pulled most of my hair out. I am trying to automate some of our processes. The script I want to write would do the following:

Select a Layer
Select all objects on that layer
Apply a material
Add a UVW Map to those objects.

And then repeat the steps for 3-4 layers

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
