DCP Particle Speed

bit of a hack to display Particle Speed...where the particles ARE that is...

Extract preset to:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2017 - 64bit\ENU\en-US\plugcfg\DataChannelPresets

Then in your DCM (on a Mesher that is, coz DCM needs a mesh to work on, it can't work directly with PF), load it as a Preset.

ver 1.01: Maxscript op now will use correct (auto) frame rate

To Perspective

Align lights/cams...anything (Force, PFlow, FFD...etc...etc...) to current Perspective view.

99.99% you'd use it for a 3rd party light eg. Vray, Redshift, Arnold. I got annoyed at doing it manually so got into Frankenstein mode and cobbled together bits of codes here and there...so don't flame me for the lack of mxs expertise...

Just drag the ms file into viewport...

A quick script for randomly changing the startup image for 3ds max.

I have seen other ones out there, but they require additional software, and have more complicated installations, so I made this one for me.

To install:

1. Unzip all files to a folder

2. run install.bat

if the folder structure of your max installation is different, simply copy the contents of $Scripts to your 3dsmax/scripts/ folder.

       The Stitch tools  work on editable polyon object ,and create new faces between selected open edges(borders),which are mainly used to connect roads and terrain.

      In this update,stitch algorithm has been improved and enhanced,error probability is reduced greatly,no longer need to clear jags of borders but final triangluation is much better.

IES from Caustics Generator

The script for easy render of the caustic from the lamps. Calculation of caustic takes a long time.

I have decided that you can bake a caustic in IES-files and thus make the caustic effect it deceptive for a large number of fixtures in the scene.
