Show all materials in viewport

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello forum,

 

i have a quick question. I have imported 300 objects with texture materials into 3ds max 2016. I want to she the texture of these meshes in the viewport. Each mesh has a unique material. So 300 meshes 300 materials. I want to show these materials in viewport. I am trying to find a way to skip having to pick each material and press the button that says "show material in viewport" 300 times. 

 

Is there a way to automate this process or make it happen for all materials in scene simultaneously? 

 

Thank you very much for your help

try Show Material in Viewport Script : http://www.scriptspot.com/bobo/mxs3/smiv/SMIV_23.ms

I attached the compiled version here, in case you don't know how to compile script.

-Go to Scripting Menu/Tab, then select Run script and point to the location of the downloaded script

-Go to Customize Menu then select Customized user Interface, then Toolbar and look for Category - Bobo's Tool , select and drag the toolbar "Show Maps in Viewports" in your preferred toolbar location.

I couldn't get it to work. I guess maybe the script does not understand Corona Materials?

It fails in line 70, apparently because "m_array" is undefined.
