Few useful 3ds Max Scripts for Download


+ Some useful 3ds Max Scripts for free download courtesy of 3d artist Ivan Tepavicharov.
ModifierControl: Using this script, you can turn on, turn off, or delete certain modifier simultaneously within all objects that contain such modifier (or only within the selected objects). Use the “Setup List” button to configure which modifiers you would like the script to work with – you can change this option at any time.
VrayHDRITool: Easy way to set VrayHDRI map. Select object with VrayHDRI map and run the script.
FixMapPath: If there are missing maps within the scene this script automatically finds and fixes them. All you need to do is assign a directory that contains the missing maps (the script searches within sub directories as well) and the script repairs the paths.
RenderMask: Render black&white image where the selected objects are white and the rest of the objects are black. You can render also an animation. The script don't affect the scene materials, lights and render settings.When you press the "Render Mask" button you will be asked where to save the image (image sequence).

Introducing LightRigger For 3DS Max



+ Based on dome lighting approach for faking global illumination, "LightRigger" script of 3dsmax, is a shareware program created using the "maxScript" scripting language within Autodesk 3ds max. LightRigger provides a draft-quality, global illumination lighting system for the default scanline renderer. Unlike full-featured global illumination renderers, LightRigger uses standard 3ds max lights and components to simulate only the diffuse inter-reflection component of global illumination. LightRigger's main advantage is speed, both in setup and rendering. The core principle on which it's founded is the well known "old-school" approach of using a light dome or rig, but LightRigger takes it much, much further. Using a little-known behavior of the default scanline renderer, LightRigger is able to convert Light Rigs into Shadow Rigs, which add shadows but no light at all to the scene. This is what allows multiple Rigs to work together in the same scene....something that is impossible using any other available light dome script.
LightRigger is also unique in that objects illuminated with its Rigs are able to move and animate freely, rather than be restricted to the scope of a single, large light dome. The amount of control in the LightRigger system is unmatched, allowing you to focus on your scene instead of continually managing a loose group of lights.

Max Scripts - Batch It Max and Reset XForm


+ Character Rigging specialist Paul Neale has recently released new versions of Scripts, Batch It Max and PEN Reset XForm V:0.03 Beta.
Batch It Max
Batch processing utility for Max 4x,5x,6x,7x,8x,9x. Batch it Max works something like the batch processing in PhotoShop, where you can create a series of actions, in this case a max script, and have it run on multiple files. Batch It Max will load each file, run the script and then save the file........Link!
PEN Reset XForm V:0.03 Beta
PEN Reset Xform is designed to make the task of resetting xforms on objects easier. This is done by automating the process of locating objects that need to have their xforms orthogonalized and or normalized. Objects that have been mirrored at the object level or scaled at the object level in any way will result in a transform matrix that doesn't have all of its axes at right angles to each other or the axes are not one unit in length............Link!

Three New 3DS Max Scripts*



Colour correct script - colour correct applying script for 3ds Max. The new version of it keeps the diffuse colour of the material correctly so that if you don't have a texture in the diffuse of the material, it'll put the same diffuse colour into the colour correct map instead. It also has a default value of 2.2 which should save a bit of time. Lastly there's a remove colour correct button if you want to quickly convert a gamma based scene into non-gamma quickly..........Download Link!!

WheelRotation Script - Basically this 3ds Max script creates a Circle that you should change the Radius of to match the size of your real wheel and however much you adjust the radius or the actual path it should still rotate properly. Before you run the script you MUST create a nurbs curve as a path for the wheel to move along - then just click on MaxScript > Run maxscript and pick WheelRot.ms...................Download Link!!

E-Light ME (Mod) 1.06 - This is the modified version of original E-Light Script by Ronnie Olsthoorn.
