Workflow for 3ds Max

Cut-n-Paste is a Quadmenu item for 3ds Max from Chuggnut that copies a transform from one object and pastes it into another. It relies on Chugg_globals and is built for Max 4.x.

Diffuse On-Off is a 3ds Max script that switches diffuse texture display on or off in the viewport based on object selection. It handles the change without opening the materials panel.

Drop4Side is a 3ds Max script that creates a four-sided image plane, with controls for selecting, hiding, freezing and adjusting opacity, plus a height box with its own height, hide and opacity settings.

fr Material2 is a MaxScript replacement for the shipping finalRender material interface in 3ds Max. Built by Jon Seagull, it reorganizes rollouts, regroups related controls, and applies revised defaults and labels for the material's parameters.

Freeze anim is a script for 3ds Max by Chuggnut that seals stack-based animation into vertex-based animation. Space warp links are not carried through the conversion, so plan your scene around that.

GC Merger is a script for 3ds Max by MastaMan that inserts 3D models from the Great Catalog site directly into your scene. Press Download in the script and the model appears within seconds.

Girth key is a script for 3ds Max from developer Chuggnut, presented as a scripted version of the Mkey tool, described as "with nobs on." It is currently offered at version 2.3.5.

Matrix demon is a 3ds Max script from Chuggnut that lets you directly input an object's matrix to warp and scale it. It works in local space and can be applied to cameras.

MaxPyDarkTheme applies a dark colour scheme to the Python (PyMXS) scripting editor in 3ds Max. Its Python-blue palette differs from DarkScintilla, so the two stay distinguishable when you switch between MaxScript and Python.

MoveAI To Biped Converter is a MaxScript tool for 3ds Max that converts Move AI animation into Biped motion. It supports 3ds Max versions 2019 through 2024 and is listed here as free.

MultiMatte Tamer is a MaxScript for 3ds Max that applies Object IDs and stores V-Ray MultiMatte Render Elements. Objects are selected within a grid table, with buttons to add IDs, refresh the scene, and create elements.

NoTime is a script for 3ds Max that toggles the time slider and track bar on and off, made for working on a still or just modeling. It runs as a toolbar button or quad menu item.

Position measure is a 3ds Max script from Chuggnut that measures the distance between two objects, or between two vertices when a single object is selected, printing the result to the prompt line.

Pro Transform is a 3ds Max script for applying interactive transforms to a selected object or group. Left click to set a pivot, then click and drag to define points, with hold-key modifiers for scaling.

Rate It is a review script for 3ds Max that lets you evaluate, validate or reject, and rate objects in a scene. It includes a comment box, snapshots, and publishes a review as an HTML file.

Rename helper is a script for 3ds Max built for renaming multiple unique objects. Select some objects, click the macro, then type a name and hit return; the selected object appears with a yellow box around it.

Scale Checker is a script for 3ds Max that finds non-uniform scaled objects in your scene and writes them to a script file for analysis. Developed by Sergio Mucino, it's a simple scene-checking utility.

ShivaTools: ViewNavi is a macro for 3ds Max that enhances viewport navigation. It lets you reach all views with fewer hotkeys, cycling through views by repeatedly tapping a single bound key.

TransformModeCycler is a set of four macros for 3ds Max that can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts to switch between different select and transform modes and cycle through commonly used coordinate systems. It is obsolete since R5.

99 Dimensions by Sherif Hany is a measurement and annotation suite for 3ds Max, adding architectural dimensions directly in the viewport with live updates. It targets architects, designers, and 3D artists working in the scene.

Add Unreal Socket is a 3ds Max script that creates a point helper matching an existing Unreal skeleton or mesh socket, then links it to the parent bone for aligning and attaching props.

All Statistics is a 3ds Max script that displays several statistics in real-time, including applied and active materials, applied smoothing groups, material IDs, and sub-object IDs. It supports all objects and modifiers.

Clay Switch is a small macro for 3ds Max that switches between Clay and Default Shading modes. Developed by dangtiendung, it can be assigned to a hotkey through the Customize User Interface or Hotkey Editor.

COPYPRO is a Maxscript for 3ds Max that copies objects from one file to another without relinking paths. It works with V-Ray, Corona, and FStorm, handling proxies, textures, IES files, RailClone, and Forest Pack objects.
