3ds Max | Scripts

This is a little script I wrote for a project I'm currently working on. It adds some extra controls to any maxNode and transforms it to a bullet (or laser beams) generator. The bullets (or laser beams) will come from the local Z-axis of the object.

There's two files attached; a .ms with a Custom Attributes definition, and a simple Max (2010) file with the custom attribute added to a Point Helper. It's very simple to use, the interface is self-explanatory, and tho code is open.

To apply the Custom Attributes to your objects, execute the script (once), select the object you want to transform in the bullet generator, and then type in the listener: custAttributes.add $.baseobject laserGunCA

Enjoy.

The SShadersVMetal2 is integrated right into 3ds Max and becomes one of the Material options available within the Material Editor. It is expertly programmed Shader that control many components of the V-Ray Material based on specific Material criteria. You can customize everyone Preset flexibly and, the main thing, quickly, to adapt for the needs. This Metal Shader exposes only the settings that are important to creating a highly realistic and optimized material.

Makes pipe work, the sort you would see in ships or industrial buildings.
