I thought I would see what scripts/plugins people find most useful for certain tasks. Bonus if you have written your own and double bonus if they are indigo related. inb4 subpixel "indigomax" :lol:



Plugins:
GWIvy - Ivy Generator- http://guruware.at/main/index.html
Greeble (ofcourse) - greebling - http://max.klanky.com/plugins.htm
Houdini Ocean Toolbox for max - Ocean generator (sort of like noise modifier) - http://code.google.com/p/hot4max/downloads/list


Scripts:
Mass Randomizer - randomizes stuff - http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... randomizer




I haven't done much maxscripting for a long time, but here are a couple or basic ones, first randomly fills the material editor with indigo materials with random colours.

Code: Select all


for i =1 to 24 do
					(
						meditMaterials[i] = Indigo_Material ()
						meditMaterials[i].diff_albedo = color = [(random 120 220),(random 120 220),(random 120 220)]
						meditMaterials[i].name ="IndigoMat_" + i as string
					)
					(
						displayTempPrompt "Materials set to Indigo Materials" 5000
					)

Randomly apply material editor mats to selected objects

Code: Select all

 
for obj in selection do 
	obj.material = meditMaterials[random 1 24]

Hey,

Cool topic, though I cannot add much to it. Anyway you might find this one useful:

Cheers,

Here are some that I use:

chainTools (useful for rigging lamps and their wires): http://joleanes.com/scripts_plugins/chaintools.php

GrabViewport 2.5 : http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... viewport-0

SoulburnScripts (all of them are superb, but I often use getCamerafromPerspective and ObjectPainter the most.)
http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_tools/sou ... cripts.htm

Advanced Painter (not as good as ObjectPainter but still decent): http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... ed-painter

Greeble (as listed already 8) )

Maxwell's Proxy Plugin for quick instancing, and a bunch of Marius Silaghi scripts such as QuadChamfer and Smooth Edges.

I normally use Outliner.

Cgsource Floor generator, and multi texture map
http://cg-source.com/

Motiva's material converter.
http://www.motivacg.com/descargas_en.php

and a bunch of other ones I can't remember at the moment.

Ones that I will purchase when I get paid :)

This looks like shift clone on steriods :)

Chamfer script that keeps the original edge so you get those harder edges using Subdivision surfaces (turbosmooth). He also has a chamfer modifier coming out that looks awesome.
