EIndicator earns its place for turning scene performance into a visual heatmap, letting 3ds Max users read polygon and material load through color rather than raw numbers.
EIndicator is a performance analysis script for Autodesk 3ds Max, built for versions 2020 through 2024. It evaluates and visualizes scene performance by analyzing polygon counts and material complexities, then represents the results through a heatmap indication that maps the scene with color.
A comprehensive color gradient runs from blue to red, passing through green, yellow, and orange, to show the performance metrics. Sampling controls let you adjust the number of samples per frame, while weight adjustments customize how much polygon count and material complexity influence the performance score. Proxy and XRef management gives you the option to exclude V-Ray and Corona proxies and XRefs from the analysis for a focused evaluation.
State preservation lets you retain the applied colors when closing the script or automatically revert to the original wireframe colors. On closure, EIndicator restores the original viewport settings and wireframe colors unless you specify otherwise.
EIndicator is best for 3ds Max users who want to evaluate and visualize scene performance based on polygon counts and material complexities.
EIndicator is completely free to download and use.
EIndicator is built for Autodesk 3ds Max versions 2020 through 2024, so it fits into that range of releases. It works by analyzing polygon counts and material complexities in your scene and visualizing the results through a heatmap. If you are running a version inside that window, you can use its sampling controls, weight adjustments, and color mapping. For confirmation of the current supported versions, check the developer's page at ehabkdesigns.com.
EIndicator represents scene performance with a heatmap indication, applying a comprehensive color gradient that runs from blue to red, passing through green, yellow, and orange to show performance metrics. The analysis is based on polygon counts and material complexities, and you can adjust the number of samples per frame to fine-tune the results. Weight adjustments let you customize how much polygon count and material complexity influence the performance score, so the colors reflect the balance you set.
EIndicator includes proxy and XRef management, so you can optionally exclude V-Ray and Corona proxies as well as XRefs from the analysis for a more focused evaluation. This keeps the performance scoring centered on the geometry and materials you want to assess. Alongside this, EIndicator offers state preservation: you can choose to retain the applied colors when you close it, or have it automatically revert to the original wireframe colors and viewport settings.
EIndicator is listed as free here, so you can add it to your 3ds Max toolkit without a cost in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details it is best to check the developer's page at ehabkdesigns.com. The current version is 1.00, last updated on April 11, 2025, and it targets 3ds Max versions 2020 through 2024.
