Below is a list of 3dsmax scripts I’ve written over the years. These are scripts that I use regularly in a production environment.
They shouldn’t have any issues however CYA says I can’t take any responsibility for any trouble they may cause in your environment.
Installation
Save the .mcr file anywhere on your drive.
After you run the .mcr files from inside 3dsmax, the scripts are accessible through the ‘Customize User Interface’ customize option. Look under the category ‘CD_Scripto’ to add the tools where you like in the interface as a button, keyboard shortcut or whatever. Personally, I add most of them as quad menu items to the lower left default quad.
Most of these are mass effect tools that automate the process of applying the same, or similar, changes to multiple objects…nothing too fancy.
Finally, the version numbers are kind of all over the board since these scripts have been developed over the last decade through several naming conventions. So, there’s that.
Toggle Particle Flows
- Simple little macroscript that toggles all the particle flow source objects in your scene. Script listener window provides feedback on which were turned off and which turned on.
Point Cache Tool
- A fairly robust point cache tool that batch processes scene or selected objects, finds and updates caches, and more
Material Tools
- Variety of material random creation and assignment tools that work having to open the interface
Helper Sizer
- Pretty straight forward tool for resizing your helper objects without scaling them (and any of their hierarchical children).
