Close Infocenter in 3dsmax

13 votes

no infocenter

If you don't use Infocenter there is a way how to close it. Just download this script and put it to your ..\Scripts\Startup\ folder. (usually c:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2012\Scripts\Startup\). Enjoy!

Cleaning PhysX Menu Duplicates

13 votes

If you customize your UI a bit and have installed the "3dsMax 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack" or the NVidia PhysX utility for 3dsMax, you should notice that it adds menus to the Customize Dialog every time you run 3dsMax. In a month or so, you will probably have to scroll over a thousand duplicates in the Customize Menus Dialog.

I had a quick look in the PhysX MaxScript files, but I don't want to mess with it. Instead, I made this simple script, that will remove all PhysX menus when 3dsMax shuts down. Don't worry, they'll be added again next time you start.

Because I find the old icons set clearer and more visually efficient that the one currently provided with 3dsMax since release 2010, I wrote this little script to install it again properly.

Select Every N-th-no UI

37 votes

If you want to select every 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc edges, just select the first edge, skip the desired number of edges and select the second edge, then execute the script.

If you want to see the time that script needs to make a selection, just start MAXScript Listener.

Instalation: Drag 'n drop two mzp files in 3ds max, then go to Customize - Customize User Interface. Under "miauu" category you can find "Gap Loop" and "Gap Ring" scripts.

On the video below the script works 3 times slower, because of Camtasia and my old, single core PC.

Toggle Time & Command -Panels

This script creates 2 Bars, one at the bottom, one at the right. Clicking a bar toggles the visibility of the UIPanels next to it in default config. Rightclick closes a bar.

UIMod

UImod is a new UI for modifiers that is displayed in overlay of your active viewport in 3ds Max.

You can make a button from the modifierstack of your selection. This will save all the modifiers on this object and all the values of the properties of the modifiers. You can see this in the video where I change some checkboxes and values of modifiers.

Right clicking on the button gives you the properties of the button. You can change the name and folor of the button. More options will be coming soon.

 

Viewport Switcher

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

XUI Floater

A compacted floater that is useful when working in Expert mode in 3dsmax. I created this to just speed up my workflow. Lots of simple UI buttons and categories. Also right-click options to run more commands. Watch the simple video to understand the use and workflow.

Time Wheely

Allows to use the mouse wheel to scroll the time slider.

Also includes a struct for using the mouse wheel, that scripters can use in their own scripts.

 

Updates in 1.81:

Added and INI setting: useModifierKeys

Changed is so the INI file settings are updated whenever the script is activated, in stead of just on max start.
