FFX Render

Nahuel — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 01:07:03 +0000

This script allows you to split your FFX containers in several passes. You can also add objects in the Matte tab, and they will get the matte/shadow material. It supports up to 10 passes. This script makes changes only at render time.

Version 4.0 updates:
-Added "Snapshot before Render" feature.

Version 3.5 updates:
-Added load/save system.
-Fixed minor bugs.

Version 3.0 updates:
-Added the Render Manager tool which allows you to choose which pass to render consecutively.
-Fixed Render Preview alpha problem.

FumeFX Presets Tool

A Simple Tool for speeding intial creation of fumefx. Also has some handing presets for the beginner and the casual effects artist.

Hope you find useful!

BUG: Creating Fumefx Containers via maxscript breaks the preview window, unfotuantly i cannot fix this bug :(. The work around however (and im sorry is a little irratating), is the restart max after you have saved the max file.

Enjoy!

Create Animation Bounding Box

Script I built to work with Fume FX, but can probably be used for many other things.
The idea is that I wanted to roughly work out the entire dimensions of a characters animation, so a bounding box - of the entire animation.
Lets say I have a character running, and jumping, and falling over - and I want him to be on fire, this tool will track all of the dimensions of the character for the entire animation duration and build a bounding box representing the exact area he's covered.
This way I can create a fairly accurate Fume FX container that isn't wasting space.
