Condense and Swap SubMaterials

Submitted by Fix on Wed, 2014-01-29 10:21

Hello, I've been searching and didn't found something doing this, maybe some of you know if this exist or how it can be done.
All faces on all selected objects (these objects are using different multimaterials) pointing to the material named "Grass" before the script (id 2 5 and 1 in the exemple) are, after the script, assigned to id 30, and all the objects are using a single multimaterial.

I have a scene organized like this :

Id - name - Sub-Material
[Multimaterial A]
[1] [ ] [Dirt]
[2] [ ] [Grass]
...
[12] [ ] [Rock]

[Multimaterial B]
[1] [ ] [Dirt]

Rename Objects By layer name

Submitted by tuxmask75 on Wed, 2013-02-20 06:30

Looking for a script to rename all objects on a layer to the name of that layer.
This should work for multiple selected layers. Unselected layers should be ignored.

Point Helper with Axis Tripod with Different Coloured Axes

Submitted by mark pigott on Tue, 2013-03-05 10:03

When you create a point helper with axis tripod, the x,y,z axis are all the same colour as thecreated object.
I think Autodesk dropped the ball by not colour coding the three axis (x,y,z)

Is there a way to script a new version that that has red,green,blue on the point helper?

Changing Texture Format

Submitted by VelvetElvis on Wed, 2009-09-30 09:06

Has there been a script that is on there that will allow me to switch currently assigned textures to a different format? We received a rather large project with hundreds of textures in .tiff format. The problem is, these textures all totaled are over 3 gigs of memory. I've converted the textures to a more manageable file type, but can I bulk switch them? Say switching them all from .tiff to .jpeg or whatever format we end up going with. The names will stay exactly the same, it's just the file extension.

Suppress warning/pop-up dialogs.

Submitted by Vizioen on Sun, 2016-08-21 02:16

So it frustrates me that Max doesn't have a button that could disable all the popups you can get when opening a max file. For instance I would really like to be able to put some default settings in the following dialogs and then never have to see them again:

-The Vray 3 dialogs you get that explain the new way of sampling or whatnot. I think there are 2 of those.
- The old Vray Sun update dialogs
-The units mismatch. I just want it to every time convert to MY sceneunits. I've never needed the original units ever.
