Select Objects By Sub-Material

Select Objects By Sub-Material (SOBSM) is a simple free script that allows you to quickly select all objects in your scene that use a selected sub-material from a Multi/Sub-Object material.

Unlike the native "Select Objects By Material" tool, which only selects objects by exact main (parent) material match, this script analyzes material IDs assigned to faces/polygons. This allows you to select objects by a specific sub-material, even when a Multi/Sub-Object material is assigned to the entire object and the desired sub-material is only used on a portion of its faces.

The script works with both material editors in 3ds Max - the Compact Material Editor (Medit) and the Slate Material Editor (SME). Select a sub-material in any editor, run the script, and all objects that use this sub-material (on faces with the corresponding ID) will be selected.           

Get Materials (one click!)

A very simple but EXTREMLY USEFUL script you will use all the time!

With just one click it opens the Slate Material Editor and displays all the materials for the selected objects well organized in a clean view.

Forget about the annoying material picker tool. Add this simple button to your toolbar and every time you want to see the material/s for your current selected object/s just click the button and... Voila!

It will save you a lot of time!

Having a way to compensate for the (stupid) 24 material limit in 3D Studio is always a big request, so here's a script to do just that.

Quick load Material Libraries to the Material Editor.
Quick code just from scratch as well.
Generally useful for all people that found 24 ME slots for not enough.

MatShift is a thin pack of ops for shifting materials
between Scene, Material Editor slots and current Library.
