Albedo Tuner

Version 2022.02.27

A script for correcting the Albedo parameter in the materials of selected objects. Originally made for Corona render, but it also works in Vray (it may not work correctly)

It is necessary in order to reduce the reflectivity of materials. Increases the contrast of the image by reducing the reflected light flux. This way you can set up a more natural image in scenes with a high content of white surfaces.

Camera Animator

Version 2024.07.06

The script creates an animated camera from the selected cameras in the scene

  • Supports: Standart camera, Vray camera, Corona camera
  • If an animated camera is highlighted, you can run the script with the Shift key pressed. This action will perform the reverse operation, create cameras from animation frames

Camera From View

Version 2024.07.06

It will create a camera from a perspective view, depending on the Vray or Corona render used

Concentric Cycles

Version 2024.10.12

The script creates a modifiable object with concentric circles with the specified parameters

Features:

  • the object is created at the origin or in the center of the selected volume of the border box (boundibg box)
  • the object is assigned personalized parameters (custom attributes), which are then used to change the object
  • if one such object is selected, the corresponding object parameters are loaded when the script is opened. if you change the parameters, the object will be changed
  • if only a few objects are selected, the parameters will be applied to all objects at once (only ConcentricCycles)
  • if the parameters are set incorrectly, it is possible to cancel the action in the standard way.

Copy-Paste

Version 2024.11.19

Adds buttons for copying and pasting objects between different 3dsmax projects/windows

You can assign keyboard shortcuts via the menu: Customize -> Hotkey Editor -> find Copy-Paste action -> Assign hotkey

In the case of an individual installation, you need to copy the icons 1 and 2 to the usericons folder of your 3dsmax settings (see Installation of item 2)

Corona Toggles

Version 2024.07.05

Brings the Corona Render quick settings to the panel Includes:

  • Standart Region Render Toggle
  • Standart BlowUp Render Toggle
  • Corona Render Selected Toggle. Also disables/enables the clear Between Renders setting
  • Corona Distributed Render Toggle
  • Corona Denoise on Render Toggle
  • Corona Render Mask Only Toggle

In the case of an individual installation, you need to copy the icons 1 and 2 to the usericons folder of your 3dsmax settings (see Installation of item 2)

Crop To Atlas

The script is used in conjunction with the free version of the TexturePacker program

Using the program, you can create an Atlas of textures, while reducing the number of assets. This is done in the case of using a decor that uses many small textures. They can be reduced and combined into a single file. After that, use this script, which will change the links in the materials to a new file and make the correct cropping.

  • Works with Bitmap and CoronaBitmap

Distribute

Version 2024.10.15

The script for the distribution in space

Features:

  • Works in Object mode and in subobject mode. (so far, only vertex alignment has been implemented in EditableSpline, EditaplePoly, and the EditPoly modifier the EditSpline modifier does not work)

  • Automatically detects the first and last objects

  • Distributes grouped objects

  • To start, you must be in the desired selection mode.

Instance All

version 2024.10.17

In the case of an individual installation, you need to copy the icons 1 and 2 to the usericons folder of your 3dsmax settings (see Installation of item 2)

Features:

  • Replacing any object with an instance of the selected object by creating an instance and applying the original transformations, layer, and material, depending on the settings. That is, if some instances were allocated, then the unallocated part will not be replaced.

  1. The Make Instances group
