Modifier Auto-Select

51 votes

This is a tool I put together because sometimes you have to work with modifiers on multiple nodes and the modifiers aren't at the very top of the stack. You’re constantly having to select the node and then selecting the proper modifier. Prime example of this is when you have a turbosmooths on top of all of your geometry while you are either skinning or modelling. It would be much easier, and save quite a bit of time, if every time you selected a node you just automatically were on the skin modifier or edit poly modifier.

Incremental Save

51 votes

It's a my super slim version with similar functionality to the Martin Breidt script, that saves incremental file versions while keeping the name of the latest - most-up-to-date version always the same as the original file. This is good for XRef'ing because the filename does not change.

Autogamma

50 votes

This is a script that simplifies the working process for a linear workflow.

The script applies a colour correct with a gamma of 2.2 to every material at render time i.e textures AND flat colours.

Lastpixel works on lots of large projects with multiple xrefs being created by several staff members so to avoid problems of having to manually apply colour corrects we use this script.

We developed this script about 6 months ago and its great I leave it turned on all the time
with remove CC's after each render (so I dont have to click through colour corrects in my material editor )

autoVP - MouseOver Viewport Switcher

50 votes

autoVP automatically switches the active viewport to the viewport the mouse is hovering over. This allows you to interact much faster with manipulators in that viewport, select objects, get properties, etc.

Script can be used 'as is' as well as be accessed by scripters (e.g. the function to get the viewport under the mouse is exposed).
