Diffuse On-Off earns its spot as a focused viewport utility: it does one thing, toggling diffuse texture display by selection, and keeps that action out of the materials panel.
Diffuse On-Off is a script for 3ds Max that switches the display of diffuse textures on or off in the viewport. The toggle is driven by object selection, so you pick the objects and change their diffuse texture display from there.
Its stated purpose is to skip a trip to the materials panel. Instead of opening that panel to change how a diffuse texture shows, you handle the switch directly from your selection in the viewport. The current version is 2.3.5.
Diffuse On-Off comes from Chuggnut and appears in the ScriptSpot library. For the download, any usage notes and current licensing terms, visit the developer's page at chuggnut.com. This catalog lists it as free, making it a small utility you can add to a 3ds Max workflow without cost.
Diffuse On-Off is best for 3ds Max users who want to switch diffuse texture display in the viewport by object selection without going into the materials panel.
Diffuse On-Off is completely free to download and use.
Diffuse On-Off works by object selection: you choose the objects in your scene, then use the script to switch their diffuse texture display on or off inside the viewport. The action is tied to what you currently have selected, so the toggle affects the objects you have picked. This keeps the on and off switch close to your selection during viewport work, and it applies the change without you moving into the materials panel to adjust how those diffuse textures appear.
Diffuse On-Off is built around skipping the materials panel for this task. Normally, changing how a diffuse texture displays means opening that panel, but the script lets you make the on or off switch straight from your object selection in the viewport instead. That is the core convenience the tool provides: the toggle stays with your selected objects, so you do not need to navigate into the materials panel each time you want to show or hide a diffuse texture in the viewport.
Diffuse On-Off is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to 3ds Max without a purchase. Licensing terms can change over time, though, and the most accurate, up-to-date details always come from the developer. For that reason, check the developer's page at chuggnut.com before you rely on it in a project, since that page carries the current download and any conditions attached to using the script. Treat the free listing here as a starting point and confirm the terms directly with Chuggnut.
Diffuse On-Off is offered at version 2.3.5. That is the release number attached to the script as listed, and it identifies the build you would be downloading. Because developers update scripts over time, a newer version may appear later, so the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to confirm the current release before you install. If you are tracking versions across your 3ds Max scripts, note 2.3.5 as the reference point, and compare it against whatever Chuggnut is distributing when you go to download.
