This texturemap contains a simple drop-down menu with the 36 colours in it, and simply select which colour you want to use on your visualisations. Due to the many various render engines and workflows this texturemap may require gamma correction to 2.2 to produce accurate colour representations. This can be achieved by in MentalRay by adding a gamma & gain map to the diffuse colour channel, then adding this texturemap inside.

Happy Painting!

installation: put script to Scripts Directory run once this command : source ktToggleRealFullScreen;

it will initially assigns ALT+RETURN. than you can use this shortcut in maya. no need to run command (above) each maya startup.just use hotkey.

100% compatible with maya 2015+,2014,2013,2012,2011,2010,2009 probably also maya 7.0 too. (windows platform only)

(note: if you are looking for pixelperfect borderless solution you have to set $FIXED_NUMBER variable added on top of the mel script.set it to 6 or 9 etc)

updates version 1.3 (1.1.2015) – script wasnt working on maya 2016 due to scripting fundamentals has been dramatically changed in maya. fixed – for pixelperfect borderless solution $FIXED_NUMBER variable added on top of the mel script.

It will be a great inspiration for us to create more useful projects for Customers like you.

It is a simple tool that rename shaders and its connections. It takes key name from file texture if file texture is connected. Else it takes the name of mesh as a key name to rename the shaders. Renaming pattern “keyName + nodeType” Works on selected shader as well. Make sure your texture contains atleast single ”_”.

Additional scripts along this downloads:

1.TextureUpdate.mel:- allows you to update textures. select the geometry and excute the script.

2.swapCache.mel: swap the caches if cache name is exactly same for difference shots.

It is useful for reducing the volume of the model in case the model is 3D printed. Less volume means less material, faster printing, and less cost.

It can also be useful where the usual shell modifier does not work well, such as for organic models.

Or it can be used to create vases and anything that needs to be hollow.

Here is a video and tutorial on MaxShell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap4m3J-OpMY

Through this simple and cheap plugin, you will be able to make these things in just one click.

Steps: - load this MEL script into Maya (Any version) - select the desire object - Run the script - Done

It helps you with setting your scene up for rendering your object with the help of an hdri.

It creates a dome light and configures the render globals and makes all necessary connections and when enabling the sun light you have also the possibility to specify the shadow softness.

You can also let it create render layers that split the scene up into a background, shadow and an object layer for later compositing.

In the script field you can specify commands that will be executed after setting up the scene to automatically set default settings. For example: setAttr “vraySettings.sys_regsgen_xc” 32;

This sets the render region devision to 32 pixel.

TODO: will add python file collecting functionality full automatic installation functionality.

As you know ‘F’ key is the standard “frame selection” function in Maya. the forgatten functionality within maya is the “Auto Center Of Interest” as many popular app like zbrush 3dcoat have already got it.

ktCenterOfInterest will add 3 menu items. “Auto Center Of Interest”, “Auto Look At (Viewports Selection)” and “Auto Look At (Outliner Selection)” In panels menu items.

by the way if you select polygon, vertice, edge,face or whatsoever camera focuses to center of the selected nodes and you can rotate the camera around it smoothly without immediate change of camera mimics zbrush autofocus or 3dcoat’s F key functionality. just click you wantto focus and smoothly navigate around the camera without immediate weird jump of camera with “F”. simply this script is a replace of “Frame Selection”

usage: under all four viewPorts menu>under “Look At selection” “Auto Center Of Interest”. click this menu to toggle on of.

updates-

version 3 -“auto look at” function seperated into two individuals. 1-”Auto Look At (Viewports Selection)” 2-”Auto Look At (Outliner Selection)”

version 2.1.3 -updated for maya 2019 -“auto look at” functionality changed. if you select something in viewport effects only active viewport. -“auto look at” functioning in outliner. effects to all viewports.

version 2.1.1 - Maya 2018 compatibility added.

version 2.1 - Maya Ext2 Sp2 (Maya2016.5 Extenstion 2 Service Pack2) compatibility. version 2.0 - New function added namely “Auto Look At” to the viewport menus version 2.1.1
Maya 2018 Compatibility added. (Not tested in Maya 2017 yet)
version 2.1
- Maya Ext2 Sp2 (Maya2016.5 Extenstion 2 Service Pack2) compatibility.

- New function added namely “Auto Look At” to the viewport menus

updates-

description:
assigns unique colors to each polygon objects in your scene.(generates only a shader)
by the way you can detect objects clear way on viewport and render.
its a good method while predesigning a scene,animation or detecting object seperations or combined objects and collisions. it is a good method. because you can see any object clearly. because all becomes a unique objects. and brain can detect some bad collisions or bad forms or bad designs with a clear way.


installation:

1- put mel script to Scripts Directory
2- optional:put png into icons directory. required icon if you create a shelf button.

usage:
execute this command :
source ktRainbowColors;

Each execution, generates random colors for each polygons in your scene.so if you dont think they are contrast colors enough. just re-execute the code above.

No plugins of any kind are needed. The scenes created using Faustics can be rendered without the script. It provides three kinds of Caustics effects for water – Turbulence, Waves and Rain, out of the box. You can blend these effects quickly or add your own animated map also. A simple UI and quick previews let you create complex and beautiful refractive or reflective water Caustics in minutes !

Faustics caters to a beginner as well as advanced users of 3ds Max. A beginner needs to click just one button to start off and an advanced user can customize many aspects of the effect, such as light properties, size, speed, chaos, animation properties and many more things, to get an infinite variety of Caustics. It can be used to create special effects too. It needs no water surface model of any kind, the Caustics are stand alone.

The script does not use Photons or any other complex methods that produce physically correct Caustics, but are often very difficult to set up and result in very long render times. It uses procedural maps, so that you get full artistic control and extremely fast renders. The demo scene created using this script renders in less than one second on a Quad Core machine.

You can have more than one Caustic source and you can also include only those scene objects in it that need to receive the Caustics. You can customize each source individually. Faustics works with 3ds Max’s Default Scanline Renderer as well as Mental Ray Renderer. It also has a function to export the Caustics animated map for use in a game engines such as Unity3D.

Feature List:

• Create water Caustics in a Single Click.
• Extremely fast renders.
• Still and Animated Previews.
• Multiple Sources of Caustics, where each can have its own settings.
• Three kinds of built-in effects – Turbulence, Waves and Rain.
• Enables blending of these three effects.
• Supports custom animated image sequences or video file as Caustic Maps.
• Source properties, like color, intensity, type etc can be customized.
• Turbulence, wave and rain properties can be customized.
• Each source can independently have its own set of properties and effects.
• Supports include/exclude of objects that can receive Caustics from each source independently.
• Exports the animated Caustics map for use in game engines.
• Supported 3ds Max Versions are 3ds Max 2011-2015

• Single click Grass creation
• Static as well as growth animated grass/vegetation.
• Also creates and animates many other kinds of vegetation.
• Grass grows in bunches and has natural bending of blades.
• Shows live preview of the blade and a bunch as you adjust the parameters.
• Built in seed which is highly customizable using 11 parameters.
• Properties like bunching, bending of blades, quantity etc are supported using 6 parameters.
• Animation is customizable using 7 different parameters to control timings, bend variations etc.
• Custom models can be used as seed.
• Custom models can be used as ground.
• Animated seed model is supported.
• Distribution map, Height map and Color maps can be used to control growth and look of the grass.
• Face selection based and angle based distribution.
• Built in Presets.
• 7 kinds of built in materials. Custom materials can be used.
• Saving and loading of user presets.
• Assign or change built in materials any time.
• Estimation of final poly count and warning for very high counts.
• Supported on Autodesk 3ds max 2014 to 2018

Render your final composition and use it for mobile-games ( as sprites / flipbook ), as animated textures for 3D projects, or use it for video projects on AfterEffects.

All parameters are located on the Attribute Editor ( for Maya ), or in the Material Editor ( for 3DSMax ).
