I have used 3DS Max on a daily basis for almost 10 years now and I took an interest in MAXScript almost immediately. The learning process was slow but I was able to pick the brains of my very talented colleagues. I began by studying 3ds Max’s ‘Listener’ and with time and confidence I tentatively created short scripts of my own. Many years later, and with a lot of help from my friends, I am in the fortunate position of being able to create my very own 3ds Max tools.

Most of my scripts are workflow improvements in an effort to avoid repetitive tasks. With any luck, they may save you some time too.

This script was developed due to a better usability of 3dsmax's material editor.

Slate - View Selected

Submitted by digitalx3d on Tue, 2010-12-14 14:14

This free MaxScript instantly displays the material of the selected object (or objects) in a new view in the Slate Material Editor. Currently, Slate does not have a quick and easy way to do this. Slate View Selected allows you to create multiple views as well. You can close the script dialog box and the script will continue to run until you re-run the script where you can stop it. In the dialog box you can also set a "display max" so that if you select a large number of objects, Slate won't waste time collecting and displaying all the materials used by objects in the selection.

paint cloner

the purpose of this script is to place objects by painting with mouse. like advanced painter, but advanced painter uses max's paint interface which is somewhat slow on complex models. my script paints objects over the active grid. after you place objects, you can put them down to ground, apply random transforms, apply random materials (all these things with other scripts). so you can quickly make landscapes.
