Bevel Switcher

Submitted by bathyscaph on Thu, 2014-03-13 15:40

This is a quick and simple script that lets you set the bevel type with a hotkey so you no longer need to open up the bevel settings dialog. Works with any Editable Poly object or with any Edit Poly modifier.

Install the macroscript and you'll find it listed under the Burke Studios category. Assign this macroscript to a hot key so that you can access it quickly. The script uses a timer to determine which bevel mode to enable:

1. Hit the hot key ONCE and the bevel type will be set to -Local Normal
2. Hit the hot key TWICE quickly and the bevel type will be set to -By Polygon

Slicemodeller-Script V1.0

Submitted by xoio on Fri, 2011-11-18 11:27

Take a look at our little script, which we gave birth to recently. The whole idea came up when we had to model some 100% planar-cut bodies, which is a task 3ds-Max is actually not too good at. Our tool should be quite useful for various technical stuff, crystalline objects or freeform-concrete-shapes (for our architectural friends out there).

scripted in Max 2011, should work on previous versions as well

GTVFX-SCA_createLightSelectElements_ByLayer

Submitted by gtvfx on Fri, 2014-01-03 15:25

Manages the creation of VRay Light Select Elements based on a layer naming convention.

All lights on a layer will be included in that Light Select Element.

Layers are found by matching the pattern of the nameTag variable. You can change this variable if necessary for your pipeline by using the slender button at the top of the dialog.

Default nameTag = "*lgt_*" (fe: lgt_sun, lgt_key, etc...)
