I think the features that you

I think the features that you are requesting will be a bit painful to add as I don't have heaps of time to work on it at the moment.
What I can add is the ability to modify the Exclude Modifier search string from "ExcMod" to what ever you want. Would that help?
Also the best mass modifier renaming tool would be to do a simple maxscript loop. A tool wouldnt give you the flexibility learning a bit of maxscript would give you.

if i have 12 objects - renaming is no good

I already read about this feature - its not gonna work if i need to tweak "noise X" and "noise Y" modifiers separately on 12 objects without renaming them, cause its take lot of time to rename them one by one, then change noiseX, then rename back and so on......timewaste....
From this situation, also is very handy will be a mass modifier renaming feature...
What do you think about this features in ModifierZorb and how many pain to add them? Thank you.

You can currently exclude modifiers by name with the exclude checkbox. Press the "?" for more information. I hope that helps

split 2 same modifiers

Hello Jordan. Current zorb take 2 same modifiers in stack (also with different names) and control them as one. Can you please add ability to split same modifiers in stack and control them as different. (split by name, split by stack order) - this feature will be very useful. Thank you.

Ok, well let me know if it

Ok, well let me know if it isnt. In the meantime I have added support for editing the bitmap gamma values.

I've found out that this

I've found out that this could be related to missing maps. Not 100% certain though!

Hey 3dwannab, I was unable to

Hey 3dwannab,
I was unable to reproduce your error. Could you make sure you are on the latest version of Modifier Zorb and if you still get the error could you send me a file and I'll have a look.
Thanks!

Hi, Its very easy, take a look here:
http://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/201...
Just bitmap.inputgamma :)

It is new bitmap property exposed to scripts from max 2014 and up.

I already added it to Bitmap Tracking/Resizing and is working very smooth.

It's read property but only for found bitmaps.
Best,
Pixamoon
