ShivaTools: Image to Base64 String

1 vote

If you're a 3ds Max scripter, you've probably wondered how to avoid dragging logos and icons as separate files and embed them directly into your script. So, I made a convenient Base64 encoder for Dotnet for myself and decided to share it with everyone.

Relink Bitmaps

501 votes

Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.

Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free!  There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag.  It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script.  If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.

Features:

[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time

FilePathFinder Pro & Light versions

Using the FilePathFinder you can be sure that you have complete control over external links into your scenes.

Asset tracking features include support for XREF files and easy linking with external files.

Using the FilePathFinder (and Batch Render&Relink), you can search for missing assets and relink external files.

In addition, files that are linked to selected objects are displayed in Interactive Mode, and bitmap textures can be toggled and placed within the Material Editor.

Also with this tool, you can easily make an archive a 3ds Max scene.

Note that FilePathFinder supports the highest number of asset types of any plug-in.

 

The Batch Render&Relink tool helps manage your asset files into the 3D model and material libraries in Batch Mode.

BR&R is capable of rendering thumbnails for 3D models, materials, and IES photometric files.

Batch Mode makes for an easy way to gather and compile many assets at once.

3dsMax Script for Converting Complex Map to 1 Bitmap

The Results is not Very Accurate because of replacing some maps like Falloff (with its submap or color correction)

* This Kind of Maps "Like Falloff" should not be rendered with RenderMap .

So It is intended to be used for exporting purposes .

-The 3 EditText Fields are (Exclude Classes, Replace Classes, Reference Classes) .

- Sometimes you need to run it more than once and do convert (May I fix this in future) .

This small script will allow you to change the assigned texture extensions from one type to another either globally or to selected objects, the reason why I created this tool is you might face one of the following scenarios:

Plane Lens Distortion (PL Distortion) it is the primitive plane with applied UV mapping coordinates which allows you to correct lens distortions on Bitmap of assigned Material.
