The new getMaxFileObjects function is useful but can be made more useful by expanding the output to also include object class and superClass.   For example, this would allow inspecting multiple max files and only merge objects of specific classes, which is very useful   To my knowledge there is no current way to extract such information without manually opening and inspect files, so adding class and superClass to the output array of getMaxFileObjects will prove very useful.   Show More

Create a system that can save the poses or changes made in the sliders in the Morpher modifier, so that at the click of a button the morpher goes back to the saved pose. Would save an enormous amount of time animating facial expressions. There are scripts and plugins that do this, but they are not always stable when used. Show More

It would be useful if the scater has the feature of distributing the object to the selected vertexes. Show More

Hello My idea is that : As MAX Have Camera Tracker, Why Didn't make The Same With Objects (Bones, Helpers, Vertices, Points, Objects) That moves in two dimensions, to transfer (For example) Points in an AVI Face Talking to Our Character face's Bones, Helpers... etc ? I think it will be remarkable Change (Specially if You Make it Grater than using just for Face Tracking To Apply It In Any Object in MAX To receive tracking information from an AVI sequence) Show More

Hi, It would be nice if there´s a way to transfer editablePoly Edge Selection to UVWModifier Edge Selection just the same way as polygon selections are transfered. Show More

I would love to be able to create a few scripts that affect splines, but I haven't really delved into it yet because you cannot undo. Show More

Hi Autodesk!   I have an idea for a maxscript/plugin converter. For example lets say someone who loves an old game wants to modify it. The tools exist but they are incompatible with newer versions of max. What about some kind or tool that makes it work with newer versions of 3ds max?   Thanks for your time! Show More

While using spacing tool, clone and align tool, objects always being hide when working in viewport , you need to press some button from tool's windows in order to unhide. Hope this can be fixed. Show More

State sets is one of the brightest and most powerful tools of max,  million years light from batch render. BUT....  Every experienced user knows that is the best and fastest way to crash your seven beyond repair. Besides of being not really intuitive nor easy to manipulate.  So..  WHY NOT CREATE A NODES VERSION OF IT!?  Would be more intuitive, easier to programme and woukd be more consistent and powerful, since you could assign the same "camera node" Or export and name oath for example To two different scene sets with just liking them. HA!??    Like the weird material slots and the Nice and easy node version of it.   You're welcome. Show More

It would be great to be able to select multiple region boxes in one viewport and then have the ability to render those at once. especially helpful on a render farm when load times are high due to complex scenes as you would be able to send it once. Also the ability to select a region that's a non-uniform shape. Show More

Sometimes we need to set an edge hard even though it doesnt qualify in an acute angle. I would be nice if as the same way it is a button under the Edit Edges panel saying: "Display Hard Edges"  there would be other saying: "Select Hard Edges".  I dont think it is necessarily hard to implement since it shows already in green the hard edges.   It would be time saving to have them selected for uv unwrapping since the option Flatten by Smoothing Groups doesnt break apart hard edges not delimiting an specific area.

This option should make it so that when the user clicks Tab on the keyboard, the focus jumps to the next UI component (as it does in HTML web form). Instead, in EditText, an actual TAB character gets added then the focus goes to the next component. It should only be one or the other, not both. In the current situation, people very often add a tab to the end of their text--I know as I've been dealing with users doing this for years and have to sanitize the data 🙂   If there is a need to allow the TAB character, then EditText should get a new parameter:   AllowTab <Boolean false> : When on, enter a TAB character and do not go to next component; when off (default), simple go to next component.

offline MaxScript documentation formatting is not correct , and differs from online one it will be nice if offline will have the same formating  as the online one   thanks Show More

Hello to everyone.   I have a suggestion about improving the work of Render Elements tab:   1. Add new buttons, for example "Up" and "Down" for moving elements in list. 2. Enable filter possibilities in Render Element tab, for example to filter by name, type etc.   Thanks a lot. Show More

I would like to see some new maxscript functions to clean up geometry.   meshop.removeVerts <Mesh mesh> <vertlist> - similar to polyop.remove() but for trimesh and explicit to verts.   meshop.removeEdges <Mesh mesh> <edgelist> - similar to polyop.remove() but for trimesh and explicit to  edges.   meshop.cleanPlanarVerts <Mesh mesh> <facelist> <float threshold> - Remove any vertices that lie on the same plane as each other that add unnecessary geometry within the given face list.   meshop.cleanLinearEdges <Mesh mesh> <edgelist> <float threshold> - remove inner vertices on a chain of edges that are not necessary (leaving only outer two verts).    meshop.autoedge - Add new parameters to auto clean the results similar to cleanPlanarVerts and cleanLinearEdges above --so using auto edge can remove unnecessary vertices. For example, if you convert a Box with six segments per dimension to a mesh and use autoedge on it , you are left with 6 polygons with 218 vertices. Using the cleanPlanarVerts and cleanLinearEdges threshold the resulting mesh should be 6 polygons and 8 vertices.   These new/updated methods would help greatly with scripted modifiers. Show More
