Allows you to quickly collect hundreds of materials in several different ways. (ie. scene materials, material editor materials, missing bitmaps in scene, material libraries, materials from selected objects, etc.) These materials get added to a browser area where you can perform various operations on whichever ones you choose.

Send Gmail from maxscript...

This is a small c# class I wrote to help me send gmail from maxscript. I am going to use this in a special project where I need an email as soon as the rendering is complete then it sends me an preview image of that image.

You might need another reason for being able to gmail from inside 3dsmax.

The reason it is hardcoded for gmail was due to the requierments of my project. If there is a need for opening up so that you can have any settings, then I might do that in the future.

See included maxscript for how you can add this to one of your scripts.

With Toggle Diffuse you can turn on and off all scene materials. It supports all Max's (except MentalRays)materials, plus VRay's and ThinkingParticle's. The avandage is that it searches through the materials' and maps' tree to turn on the first map that has an option "Show in Viewport".

This tool generates dashed lines out of arbitrary splines.
Select a spline and press 'generate'.
If the Spline is consisting of mupltiple sub-splines - a dashed line for every spline is generated.
The length field displays the length of the first spline.
Rotation changes the alignment to the path from 0 to 90 degrees.

Control Hidden and Frozen Objects

what this script does:
1- unfreeze objects by name
2- select freeze objects and move, rotate or scale them without unfreezing them.
--this is useful when you have several frozen objects and you do not want unfreeze all of them to select one of them.

3- select hidden objects, delete, more or...without unhide them

if you have some heavy hidden objects and you need delete them, first you should unhide them, then delete them but with this script you can select hidden objects and just delete them without unhide them.

--how it work,

Vray Material - Metal

recently, i am working on some script for vray material and rendering. i would like to share one of them which is for making vray metal material.

#) purpose of making vray material scripts:
-many vray users are architect who use 3dsmax and vray just for presenting their design. they are not 3d developer or software expert. they don't need to know much about logic and Math behind making materials. if they want to create a simple "gold" they look at many tutorials with different settings which make them confuse to choose the good one.

Collect Wirecolors into Diffuse Materials

This is the script I've built to fix FBX imports from Navisworks & the mass duplicated materials. Optionally it will also split them out to layers based on object wirecolor.

Majority of the code for the main function comes from http://www.scriptspot.com/blog/capitanred/collectbywirecolor

I'm using it in my workflow to effectively 'collapse' duplicate materials when bringing in an FBX. It's the last step shown in my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxmDA0NdWT8
