Relink Bitmaps

Submitted by colinsenner on Fri, 2007-07-13 15:34

Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.

Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free! There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag. It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script. If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.

Features:

[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time

Supported Max versions: Max 2018+
(Older versions should work, but are not supported moving forward)

ZOA Path Editor

Submitted by andrasmiklos on Wed, 2010-11-10 05:55

Simple Path relinker application for maps, ies, hdri corona proxy and vrayproxy objects. Features are: path text replacing and copy functions. The two text fields below each section are for "original" and for "future" paths. $ stand for string. Use it to copy a map path of a selected map to the desired text field.

User interface for the maps section. Others look the same.

splineRig

Submitted by Daniel Wichterich on Tue, 2010-10-05 12:12

A spline based rig. An alternative approach to using PathDeform with more control over twist and scale.

1. Create a straight Spline - every vertex on that spline will be a helper to control the position
2. Run Script
3. Pick Spline
4. Adjust X Y Z to align the orientation of the box to your spline
5. Adjust width and length
6. Set twist helpers - this controls the amount of helpers to control twist and scale
7. Subdivisions - this controls the final resolution of your mesh
8. Press Go

Simple Pipe Spline

Submitted by JokerMartini on Mon, 2017-03-13 06:15

Simple Pipe is a spline plugin for 3ds Max 2015 or later. It gives users the ability to quickly create pipe like paths with variety of options. Users can also distribute custom geometry along the path at each pipe intersection.

Path Position Animation Controller 1.0

Submitted by Otownhobbit on Sat, 2008-05-03 21:59

Was trying to animate tank treads simpler, so I searched and found Jeff Brown's Chain Tread script. After using it I wanted to create a simpler way to increase, decrease or stop the speed of the treads on the fly. Thus I created this script.

Strip Paths from Bitmaps

Submitted by Smallpoly on Fri, 2016-10-21 13:25

Removes current paths from all bitmaps in the scene. Primarily for getting rid of irrelevant paths on files recieved from users on other systems.

This functions in a similar way to stripping paths manually in asset tracking, but when doing that I've found that it can lag a lot and sometimes fail to strip some of the paths until you do it multiple times.

Bad paths can cause lag when Max tries to search for the missing textures, especially when they're pointing to a nonexistent network location.

Trajectory Tracker

Submitted by wickerman on Tue, 2014-06-24 23:05

This simple script was created in 3ds max 2013.

I do hope it will work with previous versions...

What it simply does is to map out the trajectory of an animated object...

USAGE:

Run the script -> Select the Moving Object & Click on "Track Selected"...

Adjust your bitmap paths ... hope it helps :D

Tetrahedral Spline

Submitted by Swordslayer on Thu, 2018-01-11 12:51

Tetrahedral mesh primitive primitive traced along a picked spline path. The starting direction is controlled by the Seed parameter, after that new tetrahedrons are added in directions resulting to the closest match to the original path. When turbosmoothed, the result is a uniform organic-looking surface.
