Viewport Switcher

23 votes

 

Assign the macroscript to a hotkey. Space bar for example. A menu will appear around your cursor that allows you to quickly switch to different views.

For the installation simply drag and drop the mzp file to the viewport. Go to Customize/Customize User Interface/ Keyboard. And under the group Norman3D select Viewport Swtich and assign it to a hotkey.

 

EDIT: Fixed an issue in the script that would cause an error on 3dsMax 2010

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.

Playback Viewport

Playback Viewport reproduces what I think is a killer feature of XSI (well, for animators though) :

It automatically switches to a viewport designated by the user when animation playback starts, and switches back to the previously working viewport once the animation stops.
