This script allows you to get all the properties names and classof from any selected object or from the current renderer

Double click on the prop name to set it in Window's clipboard.

When you select a prop name, it will show its class.

Displacement Roof Surfaces is a Free MaxScript that will take your existing roof geometry and properly apply UV Mapping coordinates to each roof plane and then apply convincing materials and displacement modifiers to the geometry.

Our goal is to eliminate the need for filling your 3d scenes with millions of polygons of roof tile geometry, thus keeping your viewports moving quickly and saving you hours of tedious work.

This tool was created by inspired from XSI symmetry mapping with some additional feature for max and its saved on external files for easy to use. Works on editable_poly object.

This is a script utility that allows to see-throught (X-View) the objects during the work. Excellent for the stages of modeling with a reference image. Implements the function of 3dsMax of See-Through (Alt+X key).

still learning ...
im to lazy to go to render setup (F10) and scroll down to assign renderer so i make this script to change renderer for just click. for this time it just for scanline, mentalray and vray, for vray you have to install the vray plugin first.

cheers

first time make script
save the project before use it, it can render sequence as you set the time range in render setup (F10), and set the output path also.
this script makes the objects that selected will be render as white and other will be black and makes environment background off and be black and set the renderer to scanline, but it keeps the time range and output , so you should change the output path or will be overwrite.

cheers

The SShadersVCarpaint2 is integrated right into 3ds Max and becomes one of the Material options available within the Material Editor. It is expertly programmed Shader that control many components of the V-Ray Material based on specific Material criteria. You can customize everyone Preset flexibly and, the main thing, quickly, to adapt for the needs.

aa_rockGen 1.0 - maxscript procedural rock generator for production and real time environments.

This script creates stone walls, quad stones pavements and irregular stone patterns for various uses. It's suitable for both realtime and production.

This script lets you automatically align one object to another (animated) by aligning it in every frame and creating a key for choosen controllers (position, rotation, scale) in every frame. Especially useful for animators. The use explained on video.

This simple script reverses the animation of the selected objects. It uses the current time range as the beginning and end point for reversing the animation.

Just run the script and make a selection then hit Reverse Animation!

Enjoy!

This simple script shift the animations for all selected geometry object, and make it loop within the current animation range. You can ask an exact amount, or randomize the decal for each object.

I figured since i got a huge number of functions flying around on my drives that i'd put the most useful into a struct and put it online somewhere so people who might need something don't have to reinvent the wheel.
More comments are to be added later

In case you run multiple backburner managers (e.g. on notebook at several places or using local manager and manager in office) it is good idea to have icons for automatic connecting monitor to the different manager hosts.

I've found two working command line parameters for monitor.exe:

monitor -a
monitor -mservername

First one turns "Auto connect" on. Second one sets manager hostname and connects to it. (Note: There is no space between -m and hostname or ip)

Makes vray proxies simply by selection objects and target vraymesh directory.

Modo selections style in 3ds max, but only for edges.

Assign a hotkey(or button), select 2 verts/edges/faces woth desired gap between them and start pressing your hotkey.

Work only with Editable Poly objects

Instalation:
Drag-n-drop "StepGapEdgeLoopLR.mzp" and "StepGapEdgeLoopLR.mzp" in 3ds max. Go to Customize-Customize User Interface. Under "miauu" category you will find "Step Gap Edge Loop Right-Left" and "Step Gap Edge Loop Right-Left".

"This utility allows you to define groups of lights - for easy management. You can then turn all the lights in the group On/Off and Hide/Unhide them. It is useful for task such as having the same scene with day/night light schemes, or when you have to dead with an important amount of lights.

This script is an update of Light Grouper, you can find on scriptspot. It now supports vrayShadows, and Vrayshadowmaps"

This is collections of script that I found in scriptspot.com and tweak it a little, I compile it into one file and add to it some of my tool ....so here is some of what this script can do
