Title: Clean up a file
Post by: serch on 2016-06-04, 23:04:03

Hi guys, I like to start a little discussion

What it's the best way to cleanup a max file?
I use a cleaner script from scriptspot but I don't know if is the best way.

Someone have a better way or technique, mind to share :)

Which cleaner script do you use? I did some research quite a time ago and ended up with "the" cleaner script:

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/cleaner

Would also be interested in any reasonable alternative to compare.

But the imho best method to "clean" a scene (if it´s only about objects) is still:

- save out selected what you really need
- merge into a new scene


Good Luck!

I sometimes use this, although it's probably included in the cleaner script:

t=trackviewnodes;
n=t[#MaxMotionClipManager];
deleteTrackViewController t n.controller;
gc()

I use this one, when I was searching for a cleaner tool this one was the most popular.
