Why we like it

Poly Counter earns its place in the scriptspot library by doing one thing without ceremony: returning a polygon count for a multi-object selection straight to the prompt line.

What is Poly Counter?

Poly Counter is a small, straightforward script for 3ds Max that counts polygons across more than one selected object at a time. It comes from Chuggnut and keeps the workflow deliberately minimal.

To use it, select the object or objects you want to count and press the button. The result is displayed in the prompt line. The tool's scope is narrow by design — it handles multiple selected objects and reports their polygon count, without extra panels or configuration to step through.

This entry is version 2.3.5 and is listed here as free. It appears in the scriptspot library under Chuggnut's name. For the current release and any licensing details, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to look for it.

Who is Poly Counter best for?

Poly Counter is best for 3ds Max users who want a quick polygon count across several selected objects at once.

Frequently asked questions

Does Poly Counter work with multiple objects at once?

Poly Counter is built specifically for multi-object counting. You select the object or objects you want to count and press the button, and it tallies polygons across that whole selection rather than limiting you to a single mesh. The result is then displayed in the prompt line inside 3ds Max. This suits situations where you need a polygon reading for a group of objects together. The workflow is a selection followed by a single button press, with no extra setup involved before the number comes back to you.

Where does Poly Counter show the polygon count?

Poly Counter displays its output in the prompt line of 3ds Max. After you select the object or objects you want to count and press the button, the polygon count is reported in the prompt line for you to read. This keeps the interaction focused on a single result rather than a detailed breakdown. It reflects the tool's design as a simple multi-object poly counter: pick a selection, press once, and read the total that comes back in the prompt line each time you run it.

What version of Poly Counter is available and is it free?

Poly Counter is listed here at version 2.3.5, and this catalog lists the entry as free. For the current release, any newer version, and the licensing terms that apply, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to confirm details directly with Chuggnut. Since availability and terms can change over time, checking there gives you the most accurate picture before you download. The plugin is published in the scriptspot library, where it appears under Chuggnut as the developer.
