About this site

ScriptSpot is a diverse online community of artists and developers who come together to find and share scripts that empower their creativity with 3ds Max. Our users come from all parts of the world and work in everything from visual effects to gaming, architecture, students or hobbyists.

A multi-method browser used to quickly find and display maxfiles using one of four methods from which you can Open or Merge from.

# HISTORY method: Displays maxfiles most recently accessed, as well as a dropdown list of recently accessed paths. Dynamically updates as files are opened to reflect the most recent history file and paths order.

This macro-script is meant to use as a shortcut. It can open or close all or all selected groups in the scene.I use "STRG + SHIFT + G" to open all groups and "STRG + G" to close all groups but you can change it to whatever you prefer.

I experienced problem with updating XRefs scenes during main scene load. I can hit "Update Now" button on workstation but I can't do this during renderfarm rendering. This script forces XRefs update during main scene load. It should be installed on every single render node. I expreienced this problem at 3ds Max ver 9, script was tested on ver. 2009 also (will propably work at v. 2008). Problem disappeared at 3dsMax 2010.

Trying to add more channels than default when network rendering out files to the .exr-format is a scourge. They get lost somewhere on the way. This little collection of script forces the channels to be there even on the computers on your farm as they render.
