Hi, Mikhail.
The most scripts has tested on max 2009.
Maybe they will work in earlier versions of 3dsMax.
Some of the scripts require a free plugin Avguard MAXScript Extension Package.
Beginning with the 2008 version AVG included in 3dsmax. Link for your version
AVG for other versions of 3dsMax your can find here: maxplugins.de
Yes – possible to make material id to all selected objects.
But it only makes sense if you use the “Assign” with the shift key to randomise material id
Otherwise, better to use the object id
>> The ‘Only MeditMaterial’ check box is always greyed out?
Now I activate this feature
See new interface
Many thanks sincerously this is most usefull pack of scripts a never seen.

Thanks – I forgot to add this script to pack.

But there is a faster way to select linked objects:
Double-click the root object to select the object and all of its children.

If you want a can give you a screenshot, but I need your e-mail.
Hey man, thanks for the scripts, they are very useful. One question, is it possible to replace some of the sweep profile presets? this tool is very good, but it would be great if possible to customize some profiles.
Thanks,
Hey man, thanks again for the scripts. It seems to me that one script is missing, this one:
SetDisplayFilter.ms
i got an error message when i try to run the script. The script “show map on/off” is not working too, but i found the script in the folder. is the same error of the other one, max says that can´t find the script.
That´s it, thanks!
Hi Juliano!

Some scripts not correct worked, but i fix that.
The SetDisplayFilter now not included to pack, maybe in future.
In gratitude I wish to give to you one free version of FilePathFinder PRO
Send to me id-file from same e-mail as you used for comment.
Hey Alexander, that´s me again
i was using the quick select & rename script, wich is very good, but it seems that the select and hide (the “H” is hide, right??) are not working. At least, when i select one of the texts and click S or H, nothing happens. In fact, sometimes it does work with select, but then if i change the text, it stills selecting the last text, not the new one. Am i doing something wrong? this is not the way to use it?
thanks man!
HELLO!
I am from china,I like your scrpts,but i dont’s install it

accurate,please do not mind.
i had using the scripts of BlurScripts’and my own‘s,there’s something looks like as yours
but it dont have the script “Sweep Profile “, it too bad
Work for free scripts are not guaranteed in versions of Max is less than 2009.
See information at the top of page.
But I hope “Sweep Profile” can be made compatible with your version.
Watch for updates.
I have got error in Max 2009 “run time error: dotNet runtime exception: value of ’100′ is not valid for ‘Value’. ‘Value’ should be between ‘Minimum’ and ‘Maximum’ Parameter name : Value” how to omit this
1: Set location of the profiles , It would be nice it there was a browse location button to set the location for the profiles, like for example to a server. that way multiple users can use the same profiles.
2. Add a delete from library button, to remove bad ones
Hi Alex. I have a small problem with script: VRayProxy with material. Do you think that, it is possible to add a function – Reset Xform before a converting to vray mesh ? For example, If you create the model of tree than move the pivot point to the bottom of tree – trunk and then convert through your script to vray proxy, it doesn’t respect moving pivot point and the position of proxi is different then previous model. So i have to every time before converting do reset xform and then convert to proxi. It is …you know. Time wasting. Pleas, add this stuff to your amazing script. Thank you very much!

Many thanks for this pack.
In particular the object & material effects ID is something I’ve been trying to find for some time.
However is it possible to get the material ID to work on all selected objects, and not just ones in material editor?
The ‘Only MeditMaterial’ check box is always greyed out?
Thanks
Nick

Hi !
Sweep is a great tool !!
2 Ideas:
1: Set location of the profiles , It would be nice it there was a browse location button to set the location for the profiles, like for example to a server. that way multiple users can use the same profiles.
2. Add a delete from library button, to remove bad ones
