3ds Max | Scripts

When you have unwanted keys on Meshsmooth/Turbosmooth modifiers, it can be a pain even if the iteration value does NOT actually change. If you have hair and use Vray moblur/displacement, it may crash if you have these keys in your scene.

These keys are created when you hit the big Set Keys button and your Key Filters has Modifiers checked. Use this script to get rid of these keys (and optionally material keys as well).

As usual, back up your file before running the script. Just drag and drop the script into your Max viewport to run.

You might encounter a situation where you want to remove an empty layer that you created earlier, but the delete option is grayed out in the layer manager. and you are unable to remove that layer. After all you have to remember that 3Ds Max never allows you to delete a layer while it contains nodes or the default layer called “0”. But in some rare situations, even an empty layer that you created and then finished with, may not be deletable in 3Ds Max. This happens because of some unclassified nodes that come with your imported models from other programs. These nodes are not visible in the viewport or the layer manager. The only way to eliminate them is to select those nodes using MaxScript and delete them manually, so the layer’s delete option becomes available again.

Hi! Im not such a ninja in scripting, but I managed to make this! Thanks a lot to my friend Vadim who help me to fathom some things in max script!
1) This script remove useless polygons enshrouded by other geometry.
2) No unwanted geometry will be generated, just removing precisely mesh-interior faces of selected editable poly object.
3) It's hardcoded so pretty slow, sorry for that.
4) no multiple objects allowed yet
5) all opened parts will be preserved to avoid any bugs

Vray introduced Vray Denoiser lately which is post rendering process using extra passes which is mostly you won't need it on composting and for production its taking too much space

this simple script will delete it for you.
