Frequently asked questions

Does mbFracture work with 3ds Max 9?

mbFracture is listed as compatible with 3ds Max 9, so that release is the version stated for the macroscript. It's an early build, tagged as version 0.1 alpha, which reflects how far along it was when it was posted. Because compatibility is only stated for 3ds Max 9, anyone running a newer release should test the script on their own setup or check the developer's page at scripts.breidt.net before relying on it in a project.

What version of mbFracture is available?

mbFracture is listed at version 0.1 alpha, an early release stage for the macroscript. The developer, Martin Breidt, posted a short update in February 2016 noting he was still active and pointing users toward his tools on the 3ds Max App store. For the current state of the script, along with any newer builds or notes, the developer's page at scripts.breidt.net is the best reference to check before you download it.

Is mbFracture free to use?

mbFracture is listed here as free, so you can add it to your 3ds Max toolset without a purchase through this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so it's worth confirming the current details on the developer's page at scripts.breidt.net before you distribute the script or use it in commercial work. That page, run by Martin Breidt, is where the macroscript and its description are hosted.

Where can I download mbFracture?

mbFracture is hosted on Martin Breidt's own site, with the download and full description available at scripts.breidt.net. The script also appears in the ScriptSpot library, where it sits at popularity rank 654 among many MAXScript tools and macroscripts.
