Show\Hide User Interface

2 votes

By default in 3ds Max you can hide with shortcut: main toolbar, command panel, ribbon, but other things like status bar, menu bar, layer toolbar, snaps toolbar and other you cant hide or show easy. So i create simply script with 7 buttons for hiding all parts of interface. You can just put this buttons on quick access bar. Hope it will be helpful for somebody.

Many Thanks Pete Addington(Lonerobot) for idea with keyboard pressed buttons and denisT from cgsociety for realization of fullscreen mode.

Visibility Assistant

26 votes

A simple script to facilitate setting visibilty keys on individual objects, or collections of objects. There's a few pieces of interest about the the code - the script uses a mapped function, something that is usually overlooked in maxscript but is very useful. There is also a custom trackbar filter to only show visibilty keys. Finally, it is boxed into a struct which is a nice neat way of packaging the whole UI and methods into a single variable.

Reindeer Free

Reindeer the node based render manager for 3dsMax is FREE to use during 2022 and probably longer.

Reindeer has been used for many years on lots of projects. It's a flexible tool not just for rendering. Use it for automating rendering or simulations or storing scene specific scripts in the scene file. Check out videos at the following link:

https://vimeo.com/channels/1054454/videos

It is free for the time being (possibly forever), due to the costs of making it commercial being higher than the revenue (classic lose-lose).

Render Nodes Manager is a network tool. It allows to remotely start / restart / stop DR (VRaySpawner, Corona DrServer, Octane Daemon) on selected servers / nodes.

It helps to solve typical problem when user cancel distributed rendering and render nodes don't pick up for some time...

It can also monitor status of the nodes: on/off, CPU, Memory ussage and DR statuses (if they run or now)
