L Pass Manager is a pass manager I created for (3ds Max 9 SP2 and above) as a personal maxscript project. It was primarily inspired by Vanilla Pass Manager, RPManager and XSI's Pass Mananger. To learn its capabilities and how to install it, please check out the Video Tutorial

Flaps

Flaps simplifies animation of flipping planes. You select one edge, let Flaps generate a new plane which then will be rotated around that edge. Finally Flaps generates a spinner you can use to control and retime the whole animation.

111_cameraMatch

This is a script that creates camera according to perspective lines on your image. It is sort of a beta version and has no error handling yet, so be warned:).

1 - get an image for which you want a camera being created.
2 - run the script (it is ordinary maxscript).
3 - press first button in UI and select the image
4 - an image plane and helper curve will be created
5 - modify helper curve (subcurves) so that they follow perspective lines, the vanishing points with three pairs of subcurves

MergeWrap

A much simpler version of "Simplygon". Script created to convert multi draw call characters into single draw call characters. Uses buit in 3ds max automated uv packing, and skinwrap to transfer skin data from many objects into one final object. Bakes new diffuse map out of all the diffuse maps the source model contained.

Red&Cyan Octane Tools

What do they do?

- Create free Octane cam:

Obviously creates a free octane cam. You can decide wether you want to use a focus plane or not.
the focus plane affects the focal depth and vice versa.

- Create octane cam from view:

Works exactly as the usual "create camera from view".
You can also add a focus plane, wich is linked to the focalDepth.

- Replace with octane cam:

Select the camera/s that you want to replace and run the script. for each selected camera an octane cam will be created.

Create Editable Box on Target

This script will create an editable box that will match volume size of target(group, object, light, camera, spline, helper, basically anything that has a bounding box). In addition it will match name, position, and create UVW Mapping modifier(box), and setting mat id's uniques to all sides.

Maxymo Server

1 vote

Maxymo is software that allows Dynamo definitions to output geometry to 3ds Max. Maxymo is made out of two parts: a Maxymo Server on the 3ds Max side that listens and executes commands to create geometry nodes and a Maxymo Package on the Dynamo side that includes custom nodes (e.g. MXCircle, MXPoint, MXCylinder etc.). The Maxymo custom nodes translate and send Dynamo geometry to the Maxymo server that then adds them to the 3ds Max geometry list. Maxymo uses the standard TCP protocol to communicate between Dynamo and 3ds Max.
