clean bloated max file

Submitted by hippiearchitect on Fri, 2014-04-11 08:59

hi so after much research into the cause of files that are too large or take up too much memory i have found two scripts that do the heavy lifting for cleaning out a max file. i was hoping there was a way of combining them into one maxscript i can run from the tool bar. I don't know that much but i do know the following does not work:

please help

macroScript Clean
category:"Clean"
toolTip:"Clean"
buttonText:"Clean"
(
t=trackviewnodes;n=t[#Anim_Layer_Control_Manager];deleteTrackViewController t n.controller;gc()

Random material to random object script

Submitted by Script_Butler on Mon, 2009-11-09 08:28

Hello.

Here's the scenario. I have 30 objects and 4 materials. I want to randomly apply these four materials to my 30 objects. I want to keep my objects separate. Otherwise I know I could attached them all together and use a multi sub-mat with Material by element modifier.Would this possible with a script?

Does any body know of such a script or fancy writing one?

I'm learning the basics of MAXScript, and this is beyond my knowledge for now!

Kind regards

Andy.

Delete Duplicate Faces

Submitted by Cullen on Sun, 2010-01-24 15:40

Hi all,

I have many plants which have duplicate polygons in exactly the same position.

In the real-time engine I have loaded the plants into... the faces flicker (as one would expect with Z-Fighting) but also the application crashes when it tries to calculate shadows.

Removing the unnecessary faces manually is time consuming and difficult... as it is really hard to find 'em all.

Anyone keen on helping me create a script (or point me to one already created) which will find the duplicate faces and select them in edit mesh or edit poly mode? (so I can then delete them).

3dmax export all selected objects to seperate OBJ files

Submitted by techmethod on Tue, 2008-12-02 10:56

Hi,

I think this would be a very practical and simple script to write. Basically, when I switch from max to zbrush.. I want all objects selected in max, exported to SEPARATE obj files and maybe a prompt to enter in each file name(or possibly a keyword i.e "character" then saves each sequentially character1 character2 etc). This would save quite a bit of time when you have a character with lots of pieces to export.

If you know of a script or are interested in making one like this let me know!

Thanks

Condense Same Named Materials to Master Instance Material

Submitted by AniMill on Sun, 2009-09-20 07:51

If I'm missing this, I'm sorry. But My scenes have multiple objects using the same materials with the same names, but they each come into the MatEd as individual materials. This is a huge PITA when I need to change one material then propagate that change across multiple objects.

Can someone write a script that finds all materials with the same name, have the option to correlate the materials to ensure they are actually the same setup (or with in a few parameter close) then use a master material as the new instance material that replaces all other same-named materials.

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.
