3ds Max | Scripts

Was trying to animate tank treads simpler, so I searched and found Jeff Brown's Chain Tread script. After using it I wanted to create a simpler way to increase, decrease or stop the speed of the treads on the fly. Thus I created this script.

This little script is for people who makes numerous still image camera views with different image aspects. The script lets you choose a camera and modify the aspect on the fly and store this as a postfix the camera name.

This way you dont have to remember what aspect you used for a certain camera.

Script is only beta version - and my first ever script, so be warned. 

I am thinking of expanding to also link up a scene state with each camera, for easy storing of per-camera lights etc. 

This script uses callbacks to turn Autokey on when Max starts up, loads a file, creates a new file, and resets a file. It also toggles Key Mode. I got tired of turning on autokey and key mode every single time I opened a file. I know that sounds like I'm lazy but after working with Maya I got used to my software package remembering my presets. It uses callbacks to turn autokey on and key mode.

A time range tool that will let you specify a range and adjust an animations time range between those 2 values. Its similar in function to maya's time slider except it uses two sliders. It will also allow you to change the frame rate from 10 - 60 FPS using a spinner.

It's my first post, and one of my first scripts.
