Move Populate Files To Network Path

Submitted by J450N on Mon, 2014-11-24 11:26

If you have ever tried a network render using Populate characters, you've probably noticed that the textures are generated by Max and saved to a local folder on your computer. This isn't very helpful if you are trying to render over network.

This simple script copies the diffuse textures from all Populate people to a new folder you choose, then assigns the new path back to the material.

PolyQuad

This script converts the selection to Editable Poly and then quadrifies all polygons.

It`s simple but I personally find it useful when merging downloaded archives with triangled meshes.

Condense by Material

Submitted by Nomte on Mon, 2014-11-10 15:07

This script condense objects with the same material, convert them into Editable Meshes, optimize the geometry and rename it as its material. If you select a large number of objects (+5k) it can take some time but it is crash-proof (so far). Specially useful in case you import architectural files from .3ds or other format and the file contains Material information. At the end you will have the same number of objects as the materials you had (e.g. Brick, Glass, Frames, Wood, etc.) Enjoy :)

v1.25 -Objects without material now receive a "Default_Material".
