What stands out here is the developer's honesty. Chuggnut spells out that a 3ds Max texture refresh is painfully slow, so Obj Sketch is pitched for rough area marking rather than detailed work. Set your expectations accordingly and it does a specific, narrow job.
Obj Sketch is a script for 3ds Max from developer Chuggnut. It lets you draw directly onto the texture of an object in the viewport, putting marks onto the object's own texture as you work in the scene.
There is a trade-off worth knowing before you rely on it. Refreshing a 3ds Max texture is painfully slow, and the developer is direct about this. As a result, the tool's real use is roughly marking out areas on a mesh rather than careful, detailed painting. Treat it as a way to block in approximate zones on a model.
Obj Sketch is listed here at version 2.3.5, and this catalog carries it as free. For the download, any documentation, and current licensing terms, visit the developer's page at Chuggnut.
Obj Sketch is best for roughly marking out areas on a mesh directly in the 3ds Max viewport, where quick approximate guides matter more than fine detail.
Obj Sketch is completely free to download and use.
Obj Sketch lets you draw directly onto the texture of an object in the 3ds Max viewport, but the developer notes that refreshing a 3ds Max texture is painfully slow. That lag is the reason its real use is roughly marking out areas on a mesh instead of fine, detailed painting. If you approach it as a tool for blocking in approximate zones on a model, it fits that job well, whereas expecting smooth, high-detail texture work would set you up for frustration.
Obj Sketch is listed here at version 2.3.5. For the actual download, along with any documentation and installation notes, the best place to look is the developer's page at Chuggnut. Versions and links can change over time, so checking the developer directly is the safest way to make sure you have the current build for your copy of 3ds Max before you install it.
Obj Sketch is listed in this catalog as free, so there is no cost noted here to download and use it in 3ds Max. Licensing terms can still change, so for the definitive word on how it is distributed and any conditions attached, check the developer's page at Chuggnut. That page is also where you will find the file itself and anything else the developer has published about it.
