A focused startup script that earns its place in the scriptspot library by removing a repetitive manual step in finalRender's object setup.
fr Defaults fix is a startup script for 3ds Max, written by Jon Seagull, that adjusts how finalRender handles newly created objects. By default, finalRender creates objects with GI disabled in their properties. This script changes that so every object is created with send/receive GI and receive caustics turned on.
Installation is a matter of placing the file in the scripts/startup folder. From then on, the corrected defaults apply automatically to objects as you make them, so you don't have to open each object's properties to enable those finalRender options manually.
The version listed is 0.2, with compatibility noted for versions 4 and 5. A demo video is available, and the script is distributed through scriptspot with a link back to the developer's own page.
fr Defaults fix is best for 3ds Max users working with finalRender who want new objects to default to send/receive GI and receive caustics enabled.
fr Defaults fix is completely free to download and use.
fr Defaults fix installs by placing its file in the scripts/startup folder. Once it's there, objects you create in 3ds Max are set up with send/receive GI and receive caustics turned on, applying the fix automatically at startup. This removes the need to change those finalRender properties by hand on each new object as you build a scene. For the download and any accompanying notes, check the developer's page at jonseagull.com, where the script and related links are provided.
fr Defaults fix turns on send/receive GI and receive caustics for objects as they are created in 3ds Max. By default, finalRender creates objects with GI disabled in their properties, and this script changes that behaviour so the global illumination and caustics options are enabled from the start. That means new geometry participates in GI and can receive caustics without a manual property change each time you add an object to the scene.
fr Defaults fix lists compatibility with versions 4 and 5, and the version of the script itself is 0.2. If you run a different release, it's worth confirming behaviour before relying on it, since the script targets finalRender's object-creation defaults specifically. For the most accurate compatibility details and any updates, the developer's page at jonseagull.com is the place to check, along with the download itself.
fr Defaults fix is listed here as free. It's a startup script for 3ds Max that sets finalRender's GI and caustics defaults on newly created objects, and it's distributed through scriptspot with a link to the developer. For current licensing terms and to download the script, visit the developer's page at jonseagull.com. Because terms can change over time, treat the developer's site as the authoritative source for how it's offered.
