Earns its place in the scriptspot library by offering an export-strength reset-X, addressing the reliability gap left by the plain script version of reset-X, which is not export proof.
Collapse and reset-X is a utility for 3ds Max, created by developer Chuggnut. It pairs an export-strength reset-X with a collapse operation in a single tool. Alongside these, it also attempts to detect normal flips and correct them, although this correction does not always succeed.
The distinction it draws is around export reliability. The reset-X in this utility is built to be export strength, in contrast to the script version of reset-X, which is not export proof. With that script version, results depend on how you export your data and will not always work as intended.
Collapse and reset-X sits in the scriptspot library at version 2.3.5 and is listed here as free. For the current release and any additional details, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to check.
Collapse and reset-X is best for 3ds Max users who need an export-strength reset-X and collapse in one utility, with an attempt at automatic normal-flip correction.
Collapse and reset-X is completely free to download and use.
Collapse and reset-X uses an export-strength reset-X, which is what sets it apart from the plain script version of reset-X. That script version is not export proof, and depending on how you export your data, it will not always work as intended. This utility's export-strength approach is aimed directly at that reliability gap. For the specifics of how it behaves across different export routes, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the best reference to consult before you rely on it in a pipeline.
Collapse and reset-X also tries to detect normal flips and correct them as part of its operation. The developer is upfront that this correction does not always succeed, so it is best treated as an assist rather than a guaranteed fix, and results may vary. Alongside the normal-flip handling, the tool runs its reset-X and collapse together. For further detail on how the correction behaves, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to look.
Collapse and reset-X is listed at version 2.3.5. The utility comes from developer Chuggnut and can be found in the scriptspot library. For the newest release, changelog details, or anything not covered here, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to look. Because tool versions can move on from what a catalog lists, checking the official page before downloading is a sensible step to make sure you have the current build.
Collapse and reset-X is listed as free in this catalog. No specific licensing terms beyond that are stated here, so for the current licensing details, download options, and any conditions attached, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the definitive source. It comes from developer Chuggnut, and the scriptspot library is where you can find the listing. Confirming terms on the official page before use is always a good idea.
