[Useful Scripts\Tools]

[CiroC]

I don't think so, because mine is Design version and it works. Maybe there's some glitches with Soulburn scripts installation? Does other scripts works as supposed?

Yes, they work or at least the ones I tried. I found really strange because I applied the script to a geometry I was working on. The geometry goes entirely white. So, I tested on a new cube and nothing happened. I never tried this script before at work, so I don't know if it worked from the beginning. This script is the only option I have to create a quick dirt around the corners.

UPDATE:

The script doesn't create any vertex maps if the geometry has some chamfered edges. Am I wrong?

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.

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?
