[Useful Scripts\Tools]

This script is the only option I have to create a quick dirt around the corners.

Have you tried Tension modifier? I find it quite good for this job.

I will have a go with that one, but can you make it work with chamfer edges? I cannot make it work with chamfer edges.

Really good example here:

The secret is having a geometry with chamfer corners and a TurboSmooth on top of it.

Does it show max files in big thumbnails mode too ?

[3dwannab]

The default scale is 120px and after that it has to be scaled up to 256px with the same resoltion. Still at least its a thumbnail :) . I use free commander and not Windows explorer but it's the same situation as I've said with FC. See screenshots.

FYI: Freecommander is a replacement windows explorer in case anyones wondering. Has tabs and loads of other good stuff. Rename with regular expressions is just one thing it has. FOUND HERE: http://freecommander.com/en/beta/

FINALLLLLLLY.. Draw like autoCAD inside max. I mentioned the polyspline script a while back but this is a different animal altogether!!

We'll see how long it takes Autodesk to borrow this idea this like the outliner script. :/

Has anyone used this project manager?

I added your suggestions 3dwannab.

I may have a go with the demo version, but so far Connecter is doing a good job.

[Juraj]

Connecter is more powerful....but also visually pleasing. I can't into these Windows95 type GUIs.

[3dwannab]

At the moment Connector is lacking .mat file management features. But I'm sure it'll get there.

[Juraj]

That's very SigerShaders come in :- ) Best library plugin ever.

[3dwannab]

I've mail Connecter to give support for Corona mats and also .obj previews along with a few other suggestions. I lost my beta key and can't get access to the 2015 max plugin!!! Grr! btw I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO POST A .dll FILE. :) (We don't want that again)

Think I seen a thread somewhere here about a new one for Corona. I'll can hold up until then. Thanks for the suggestion.

Where did you get this one? On their website, I only find the plugin for V-ray and Mental Ray.

PS: Are the SigerShaders presets good enough for V-ray?

Yes they are (in 3.0 forward, although they are now pretty needlessly blended, which with new GGX/GTR is not so necessary), I am using the Vray version. But it doesn't matter, I mentioned it for its library, you can create your library, and then just use the interface.

Look at screenshot.
