This is a great tentacle rig written by Felix Joleanes. The only issue I have with it is that It would be nice if the sin wave worked on more that one axis, ex: x,y,z
If anyone could help me figure out how to make this adjustment to this script that would be awesome! Either way it is a powerful script for using bones to rig a tentacle. I am planning to use a blend bone between this wave rig by Felix and an Ik system. If anyone could help me out that would be GREAT!

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.

They will also be holding a public event showing how V-Ray can be integrated with post production tools into studios’ pipelines. Also of note, Chaos Group and the CGschool will be offering an 8-hour thorough training event called “The Best of V-Ray” that covers various issues including speed, detail, and noise in renders, animation techniques for static and non-static scenes, practical lighting of exterior and interior scenes, etc.

This is a very simple script for turning Bitmaps on and off in the view port. It has been very popular in the studio that I work at work so I though I would upload it. Its funny how the simple ones are the ones that every one likes. Anyways it will let you turn view port maps on or off, it works with Standard and V-Ray materials. It also handles multi sub materials with no troubles, you can also choose to display Bump or Reflection maps. If you have any troubles or ideas for new features please let me know.

This script creates a set of rendered images which can be used in the object2VR program. Object2VR in its turn creates a flash or quicktime item from it.
Check out my blog for a more elaborate description.

the camera is animated in this manner.

Update: now specify your own naming scheme!
Update: now create hemispheres as well.

This is a script I wrote while learning Maxscript.

It's now up to version 2.0 and will create low poly versions

It is based on a tutorial by Sascha Henrichs

I'm still making improvements as I learn, I hope you find it useful.

Simple version of the VRIMG2EXR converter since Lele didn't update his, user configurable path to the EXE if you are running mixture of x86/x64.

Just run the conversion in the background.
No frills.

About INTools:
The tools are designed to speed up various tasks in different workflows.
They are aimed at Game-asset production and Visualisation. The compact version doesnt contain all INTools but its still a lot in there

Install:
Download the supplied .mzp file and drag n drop it into your max viewport or start it through the menu MAXScript/Run Script.
After doing that Restart max and you should be good to go

How to find it:

This little tool manages and autoLoads scriptFiles in max.
You define scriptFiles to be loaded, it saves those to the registry and also creates an autostart file containing links to those scriptFiles. It does not manage/disturb any existing autoLoads.

Cylindrify is similar to the Spherify modifier, except that it works only in the local XY plane instead of the 3 dimensions.

This is a little tool to get the scripspot rss feed directly in max, displayed on the viewport. It of course only shows max related stuff, updates every 7 minutes and thats about it for descriptions.

MultiCamLister - this is a simple script provides fast and easy access to the cameras and their basic parameters in a scene.

With length calculator you can easily calculate the length of the selected edges. Very usefull for arch modeling. In the next release it will also support shapes.

***I have uploaded a 2009 compatible version.

This script creates a pop-up window with the list of all the grids in your scene. You can easily navigate between the grids and create new ones aligned to selected surfaces.

It's a my super slim version with similar functionality to the Martin Breidt script, that saves incremental file versions while keeping the name of the latest - most-up-to-date version always the same as the original file. This is good for XRef'ing because the filename does not change.
