Object-Bound Camera Clipping is a 3ds Max script that adds controls to the selected camera, letting you drive the near and far clipping planes using picked objects in the scene.

Point Helper is a script for 3ds Max from Chuggnut that creates a point helper aligned to two selected vertices. Select two verts, press the button, then set the axis to "pick" and choose the point object.

Poly Counter is a small, straightforward script for 3ds Max that counts polygons across more than one selected object at a time. Choose the objects you want to count, press the button, and the total appears in the prompt line.

Quick Selection is a utility for 3ds Max that offers several methods for selecting and managing objects in a scene, including selection by category, stored objects, selection sets, and pathname literals.

Rotate To Grid is a 3ds Max script from FishMan that orients an object along a selected edge. It works with both Edit Poly and Editable Poly, aligning to the closest axis using face normals.

Selection Toolbox is a 3ds Max script from JokerMartini that batch-selects objects by view visibility, material state, instances, and by object, modifier or material class and name, plus wirecolor and string search.

Vray ACES Convert is a 3ds Max script that converts Gamma Workflow scenes to ACES OCIO, handling Vray materials, VrayLight, Vray displacement modifiers, VrayFur, Chaos Scatter, and Forestpack bitmaps automatically.

AnimLayerCleaner is a MAXScript for 3ds Max that detects and removes bugged animation layers from a scene. These problematic layers can slow performance without triggering any errors or notifications.

Bone info is a 3ds Max utility that works inside the skin modifier. Select some vertices and press a button to read the bone assignments and weights for each vert.

BoneSizer is a 3ds Max script by Chuggnut that adds a quad menu option for resizing bone objects. It changes the width, height, and taper of many bones in a single operation, built for 3ds Max 4.x.
