Frequently asked questions

Does Matrix demon work on cameras?

Matrix demon can be used on cameras, not just standard objects. The script works by taking an object's matrix as direct input and using it to warp and scale that object, and cameras are handled in the same way. It also works in local space. Applying it to cameras is one of the uses the developer highlights. Beyond that, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the best place to see how camera use fits your particular scene and to grab the download.

What version of Matrix demon is available?

Matrix demon is offered here at version 2.3.5. That release works with an object's matrix to warp and scale it, it also works in local space, and camera use is supported. For the newest build and any change notes past this version, check the developer's page at chuggnut.com, since that site keeps the most current information. Version numbers on third-party catalogs can lag behind the developer's own updates, so the developer's page is worth a look before you install.

Is Matrix demon free?

Matrix demon is listed in this catalog as free, so there is no cost to add it to 3ds Max from here. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so for the most current details it is best to visit the developer's page at chuggnut.com. That site also carries the download and the latest version of the script, which sits at 2.3.5 in this listing. Checking the developer's page keeps you current on both the price and the version.

How does Matrix demon warp and scale an object?

Matrix demon works by having you directly input an object's matrix, which it then uses to warp and scale that object. The current release also works in local space, and the same approach applies to cameras. Because the matrix itself is what you feed in, that value drives the warp and scale. For the full picture and to download the script, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is where to go, and it remains the most reliable source for how the tool behaves.
