autoVP - MouseOver Viewport Switcher

50 votes

autoVP automatically switches the active viewport to the viewport the mouse is hovering over. This allows you to interact much faster with manipulators in that viewport, select objects, get properties, etc.

Script can be used 'as is' as well as be accessed by scripters (e.g. the function to get the viewport under the mouse is exposed).

GradientView

Custom viewport backgrounds just the way you want them.

• Create your own custom gradients; no images needed.

• Loads automatically at startup and with each new file.

• Great for office/studio workflows: Doesn't save the BG image to the file, so you won't get missing asset warnings.

• Comes with presets for Mudbox, Zbrush, Modo, and Maya

AutoPivot is a useful script for 3ds Max created to help you move easly object's pivot.

Description:

It includes two separate scripts that move the pivot to its center or to lowest point.
Unlike the standard 3ds command that uses the Selection Bracket, AutoPivot calculates the center of mass and moves the pivot accordingly.

Main features:

VPL "viewport layouts"

22 votes

This is an update to ViewPort Controls Mini and renamed to VPL 2.0 I found with the introduction of the view cube. The other feathures of "ViewPort Controls Mini" were redundant. So I striped it down to just the viewport layout selections in a dock-able buttons bar.

VPL Use: Only use VPL from the 4 viewport state. Not the (alt+W) maximized viewport state.
