A compact, single-purpose MaxScript. It sits at version 1 and lists only 3ds Max 8, 7 and 6, so anyone on a newer release should confirm it runs before relying on it.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms is a MaxScript created by Paul Hormis for 3ds Max and listed in the ScriptSpot library. Its name points to what it does: it grows a selection while working in a Skin or Poly context. The tool arrives as a single .ms script file for use in 3ds Max.
The script is at version 1, and its listing records compatibility with 3ds Max 8, 7 and 6. The .ms extension identifies it as a script rather than a compiled plugin. A demo video is available, and the developer maintains a page at hyperent.com with further information.
It stays purpose-built, centred on Skin or Poly selection growing rather than a broad toolset. Artists working in the 3ds Max versions listed can add it as a small script file, and the ScriptSpot entry together with the developer link offers the next steps for anyone evaluating it.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms is best for 3ds Max users on versions 6, 7 or 8 who want a script for growing Skin or Poly selections.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms is completely free to download and use.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms lists compatibility with 3ds Max 8, 7 and 6, which are the versions recorded for this release. Those are older releases of the software, so anyone running a newer version of 3ds Max should test the script before depending on it in a project, since compatibility beyond the listed versions is not stated. The developer's page at hyperent.com is a good place to check for further details, and the ScriptSpot listing is where the script itself is published under Paul Hormis.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms is listed as free in this catalog, so there is no price attached to the entry. Licensing terms can change over time, though, so the most reliable place to confirm the current terms is the developer's page at hyperent.com. The script is also published on ScriptSpot, where MaxScripts for 3ds Max are commonly shared. If you plan to use it in a commercial project, checking the developer's own terms first is the safe approach.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms has a demo video available, so there is a video reference tied to the script alongside the text listing. The developer also maintains a page at hyperent.com, and the script itself is published on ScriptSpot under Paul Hormis. Between the demo video and those two pages, there are a few places to look before adding the script to a 3ds Max setup. The listed release is version 1, compatible with 3ds Max 8, 7 and 6.
Skin_Or_Poly_Grow_Selection.ms is listed at version 1, which is the release recorded for it. That single version number is what is published, so there is no separate update history attached to it. The script is compatible with 3ds Max 8, 7 and 6 as listed, and comes from Paul Hormis. For the most current status, including any newer builds, the developer's page at hyperent.com is the place to check, and the script is available through ScriptSpot.
