EdgeFinder

Example

I wrote a script that finds the edges of a mesh and creates an edge map and/or creates roughed up edges on the mesh. Just pick a mesh and choose your settings and the script will render out a map for you. The script tessellates the the mesh and colors the vertices black where ever it finds corners, so you can choose if you want the high poly mesh or just bake a edge map to use on the low poly mesh.

Updated!

UImod is a new UI for modifiers that is displayed in overlay of your active viewport in 3ds Max.

You can make a button from the modifierstack of your selection. This will save all the modifiers on this object and all the values of the properties of the modifiers. You can see this in the video where I change some checkboxes and values of modifiers.

Right clicking on the button gives you the properties of the button. You can change the name and folor of the button. More options will be coming soon.

QuickTools

QuickToolsA collection of useful maxscripts and max features combined into one tool window. Most of the scripts I wrote myself. Some I did not write - but included as I use them regularly and find them to be extremely efficient work flow enhancers - furthermore I found no need to reinvent already solid wheels. Full credit is given to all script's authors both in the code comments and on the about page - however if for some reason I have neglected to give proper credit please let me know and I will rectify any and all such oversights. Furthermore - should anyone be unhappy that these are included I can remove them from the public release version. Finally any tools not categorized by those first descriptions are just standard max affairs to which I have given more convenient access - or are standard max affairs that have been slightly altered to suit certain production needs.

Texture Atlas Generator

This script generates a texture atlas out of the selected objects, and manipulates their UVs (and if necessary, their geometry as well). Currently only Multimaterials and/or Standardmaterials (with bitmaps in diffuse channel!) supported.
Texture atlasses especially are important for real time applications and game development. Check http://developer.nvidia.com/object/texture_atlas_tools.html to see performance comparisons.

Features:
- geometry slicing
- padding
- simple packing algorithm
- editing many objects at once, thus creating only one atlas for all of them

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.
