Show/Hide Maps earns its place in the ScriptSpot library as a focused, free utility for one specific task: switching viewport texture map visibility on and off.
Show/Hide Maps is a utility for 3ds Max that toggles the display of texture maps in the viewport. It lets you show and hide maps either on a current selection of objects or throughout the entire scene, giving a straightforward way to switch map visibility on and off.
The tool is offered as a free utility and is designed to be simple to use. It is currently at version 1.1, last updated in February 2023, and is available from the developer's page. A demo video is also available for those who want to see it in action before installing.
Listed in the ScriptSpot library, Show/Hide Maps sits among the many small workflow scripts that 3ds Max artists reach for. Its focus is narrow and practical: controlling whether texture maps appear in the viewport, either per selection or scene-wide.
Show/Hide Maps is best for 3ds Max artists who need a fast way to toggle texture map visibility in the viewport, on selected objects or across an entire scene.
Show/Hide Maps is completely free to download and use.
Show/Hide Maps can operate either way. You can toggle texture map display in the viewport on a current selection of objects, or apply the show or hide action across the entire 3ds Max scene at once. This flexibility lets you focus on specific geometry when you only need certain maps visible, or clear the whole scene when you want a lighter viewport. The choice between selection-based and scene-wide control is central to how the utility is described.
Show/Hide Maps is listed here as free. It is described as a free and easy utility for showing and hiding texture maps in the 3ds Max viewport. For the most current licensing details, downloads, and any terms that may apply, check the developer's page directly. Since licensing can change over time, the developer's page remains the authoritative place to confirm how the utility is distributed before you rely on it in production.
Show/Hide Maps is available at version 1.1, which was last updated on 22 February 2023. If you want to confirm the current release or check for any newer builds beyond that date, the developer's page is the place to look. Version details matter when you are matching a script to a particular 3ds Max setup, so it is worth verifying the build you download matches the version noted here before installing it into your pipeline.
