Function Sculptor

zOffset = x^2-y^2

Function Sculptor is a scripted plugin that deforms meshes, polys or splines according to an arbitrary, user-input function. This allows easy creation of an endless variety of smooth, precisely curved surfaces. It also enables the mathematically precise curving of splines for extrusions, path-deforms and lofts.

It uses the world-x, y, and z coordinates of points to displace those points in world-z.

Editable spline shape with 2 sub-splines, before and after sculpt:

Weld Autosmooth

Overall functionality and advantages

  • The script welds separated vertices and later autosmooths the faces if it's needed
  • It is very useful when you have imported the file that was generated in other software and the vertices are somehow separated
  • You can use these two actions (welding and autosmoothing) together or separately
  • Saves time when you have a lot of objects that need welding and later autosmoothing
  • The script can work on entire scene or just the selection

Vertex Normals Stitcher

This script averages vertex normals at the borders (Open Edges).

It allows you to smooth a surfaces after separating vertexs / edges / faces.
(example: after detaching faces or splitting edges).
It still keeping a hard Edges if the object have multiple Smoothing Group ID

Poly Loop Soft Select

Poly Loop Soft Select – 3dsmax MAXScript, allows when working with Editable Poly object in Edge sub-object mode filter Soft Selection by selected edge’s loop.

When Poly Loop Soft Select filter Soft Selection only edges which connected to selected edge will remain.

Create Editable Box on Target

4 votes

This script will create an editable box that will match volume size of target(group, object, light, camera, spline, helper, basically anything that has a bounding box). In addition it will match name, position, and create UVW Mapping modifier(box), and setting mat id's uniques to all sides.

DistanceConnect

Connect edges every given distance.

PolyQuad

This script converts the selection to Editable Poly and then quadrifies all polygons.

It`s simple but I personally find it useful when merging downloaded archives with triangled meshes.
