An alternate color picker and color palette manager.
colorPalette is a palette manager that works with ACP, but can also be used as a stand alone tool.
colorPalette supports the Adobe color file format (.aco), for both loading and saving.
** A note about colors importing from aco files: aco files allow the saving of each color swatch in it's own color space (RGB, CMYK, HSV, Lab, etc.) colorPalette does not support all of those color spaces, and some of those supported might results different colors than the ones seen in Adobe Photoshop, due to the fact that ACP and colorPalette do not use color profiles. For that reason, aco files saved with colorPalette, are always saved in RGB color space.

Included with colorPalette is a Pantone® palette.
** Another note, this time about the Pantone palette: this palette was created using a palette found on the web. This is what the original web page said:
"The authors of this color conversion chart offer no guarantees as to accuracy. The RGB and Hexadecimal colors are reasonably close. RGB and Hex colors on screen are an approximation to the Pantone spot colors that would be printed using the Pantone Formula Guide or Pantone Matching System (PMS Guide)."
Also note, that due to differences in screen color reprasentation, colors on screen will NOT look exactly the same on different systems. You should use this palette as a reference only, and use a printed official Pantone Matching System for final color decisions.
The Pantone palette is located in the (max_root)scriptsACPPalettes folder.

Adds an inbetween key at the time-slider time.
The value of the new key is a mix of the previous and next keys' values. The mix percentage can be controlled with the "Change In-Between Percentage" tool.

A simple interface to manage animation ranges.

Create a sub-object selection and use Bounding Boxer to create a fitting box around the selection. You can then use the created box(es) for a Linked X-Form or as a bone. The various Bounding Boxer options include the possibility to automatically create a link hierarchy between created boxes.
Concept co-design and icon by Metin Seven (www.sevensheaven.nl).

A small camera manager with camera preview.

Creates a simple "todo" list that saves with the max file.

Generate a HTML contact sheet of all objects in the scene.
For each object (or group) an image is created, and some information is displayed.
This script was originally created for a CGTalk challenge.

This utility allows you to easily delete minor versions saved with the safeSave Minor Increment tool. (Idea by Dave Stewart)

FPSmove is a set of macroscript that allow you to simulate an FPS game movement inseide max.
After you select the camera you wish to use in the FPSmove Floater, you can use the macroscripts to move that camera (you can assign the macroscripts to keys for easy momvement).

Gets the system TTF font names for use in scripts.
NOTE: This is a function for use in other scripts, it's not much use on its own.

Bakes hair and fur object into animated mesh with point cache or vertex animation.

This utility allows you to define groups of lights, for easy management. You can then turn all the lights in the group On/Off and Hide/Unhide them.
It is useful for task such as having the same scene with day/night light schemes.

Allows to manage list controllers the same way the motion panel does. Unlike the motion panel, this utility supports all list controllers, not just the PRS controllers.

Maxscript language definition files for the notepad++ editor.

Installaion:
1. install notepad++
2. copy the file maxscript.api to C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\plugins\\ folder
3. copy userDefineLang.xml and insertExt.ini into your %appdata%\\notepad++\\ folder
IMPORTANT NOTE!
If you have other user defined languages, you have to edit the userDefineLang.xml file manually
and append the maxscript section from this zip, if you overwrite the file with this version, you\'ll
lose your previously defined languages!

Select sub-objects of mesh and poly objects by "painting" with a variable sized brush.

Bakes particle flow particles into helpers / meshes.

Aligns the pivot point to the selected vertex.

Allows you to play only part of the animation time range.

After you run this script, the script will appear in the \"Os tools\" category in the customize ui menu. Put all the scripts you wish to access with QuickRun in {max_root}\\Scripts\\QuickRun
Note: you can also put sub-directoried in that directory, these will appear as sub-menus.

Retimes keyframes on selected objects based on recorded time.
To record the new time, press the \"Start recording\" button and drag the time slider at the desired speed.
To stop recording, press the \"Recording\" button once more.

A Free Renderman^TM Exporter For 3DSMax
This script has a page of its own here.

Due to a bug in max 4.x it is possible to overwrite files that are marked as read-only. safeSave tools are a set of tools to replace the max internal save functions, and solve this problem (until Discreet will fix it in future versions of max).

safeSave tools consists of four save tools:

• safeSave - replaces the max save (file > save).
• safeSaveAs - replaces the max save as (file > save as).
• safeSaveSelected - replaces the max save selected (file > save selected).
• safeSaveIncremental - replaces the max save incremental (the + in save as).

The tools are macroscripts so you can assign them to buttons, keys, quads and menus.

This utility scales the position of the selected objects using an object or the selection center as the center of the scale.

ScriptMan is a MaxScript designed to help scripters when working on big projects with multiple files. It allows you to browse the script files, open them for editing and execute them. It also supports favorites.
See the image for usage information.

Checks a list of numbered files, like rendered image sequences, for missing files.

Changes the animation range of all wired controllers of either all or selected objects to the active time segment or to a custum time range.

Batch change the bitmap parameters of all materials, selected objects' materials or material editor materials.

A tool to help setting vertex weights when skinning.
Thanks to Niels Roscher for the ideas and testing.

Snaps the keys of selected or all objects to the nearest round frame.

Generates reports from the data saved by Time Tracker.

Tracks time you spend working on max files.

Allows to use the mouse wheel to scroll the time slider.
Also includes a struct for using the mouse wheel, that scripters can use in their own scripts.

Creates a "typewriter" effect. Also allows the letter to fade in. User can customize the length of apearance, and delay between letters.

Adds an undo/redo feature only for selections.(doesn't affect max's undo).

Renders all variations possible using the selected layers and materials.
For each render, it shows only one layer from the selected layer, and renders it with all selected materials, by assigning the material to all objects in the layer, rendering and moving to the next material.
