Martin Breidt

3ds Max macro that flips an Editable Poly between NURMS smooth-shaded display and base mesh with wireframe overlay.

miauu

3ds Max script that aligns Symmetry, Slice and Mirror modifier gizmos by picking three points or snapping to a plane.

FishMan

FishMan's 3ds Max script that turns an object so a selected edge lines up with the closest axis, judged from face normals.

Chuggnut

Small 3ds Max script that totals the polygons of several selected objects and shows the result in the prompt line.

Chuggnut

3ds Max utility that performs an export-ready reset XForm and collapse, with an attempt to fix flipped normals.

obaida

3ds Max script that brings Blender-style scaling to vertices, edges and polygons on splines, meshes and polys.

Chuggnut

3ds Max script by Chuggnut that smooths out Bezier spline knot handles.

Paul Hormis

Single-file MaxScript by Paul Hormis that grows selections in Skin or Poly contexts, for 3ds Max 6 to 8.

Chuggnut

3ds Max script that joins two NURBS surfaces with tangent alignment while keeping their edges intact.

huynguyen

3ds Max script that applies a ZBrush and Mudbox style matcap clay look to the viewport through an on-the-fly ShaderFX override.

Dong-Wook Kim

Places a four-sided image plane and a height box in the 3ds Max viewport, with hide and opacity controls for both and freeze for the plane.

SimonBourgeois

3ds Max script that retopologizes many objects at once with symmetry and area-based density for consistent meshes.

Chuggnut

3ds Max script that prints the distance between two objects, or two vertices of one object, in the prompt line.

mgh3d

MaxScript that clones and deforms a mesh along a path in the manner of ZBrush's IMM Curve brush.

Sergio Mucino

Small 3ds Max utility that flags objects carrying non-uniform scale and saves the list to a script file.

obaida

3ds Max script for click-and-drag transforms of an object or group, with pivot setting and hold-key scaling.

Paul Hormis

Single-file MaxScript by Paul Hormis for ring selection on skin or polygon components, aimed at 3ds Max 6 to 8.

rode3d

3ds Max script that locks a transparent reference image to the camera view to guide modeling and projection work.

Jon Seagull

Reveals and selects every parametric object left uncollapsed in a 3ds Max scene, ready for collapsing before a render or release.

Chuggnut

3ds Max script that acts like collapse vertex but without welding, merging selected vertices to their average position.

Paul Hormis

MaxScript by Paul Hormis for loop selection in Skin or Poly contexts, targeting 3ds Max 6 to 8.

Paul Hormis

MaxScript by Paul Hormis that shrinks the current selection in Skin or Poly contexts, for 3ds Max 6 to 8.

Chuggnut

3ds Max 4.x script that reverses the order of crosssections on a skinned model.

Chuggnut

Builds face selections in 3ds Max by comparing every face's orientation with a second object's direction.

miauu

3ds Max script that draws a circle spline with an exact knot count and radius, which the built-in Circle cannot do.

rusttm

Shifts selected points or whole objects a chosen distance along the direction between two picked points in 3ds Max.

Marius Silaghi

3ds Max modifier that fills mesh holes with triangles blended into surrounding geometry, with adjustable density and continuity.

Royal Ghost

MAXScript that chamfers inner corner topology on Editable Poly objects, complementing the vertex Chamfer that handles outer corners.

mjblosser

3ds Max tools for troubleshooting draw call and render order of objects, with a face index viewer.

mmorais

3ds Max tool built on the Max SDK that snaps mesh points onto other points or splines, along a direction or by edges.
