Scripts
Philosophy: Everyone’s time is valuable, more so than we realize. We are confined to only being able to do so much in a lifetime. I write these scripts to save you time; with the intention that with your time saved you’ll be able to spend more time with the people that you love and not at work. Now save yourself some time, and continue investing in the important people in your life.
That’s why my personal scripts will always be free with encouraged donations of whatever amount you like.
3D Studio Max Scripts:
Awesome script!
Can it go through a Material Library?
Hi,
I tried you script today on a computer using 3xmax 9 64 bit but I couldnt get it to run.
I loaded the mzp file & was installed in my computer, I placed the script on my toolbar as suggested, but when I click it it says:
–syntax error:at bad, expected
–in line: r
I’d appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you!
The script runs great on 3dsmax 9, however you have to make sure you have installed “Service Pack 1″ for Max9, here is a link to download SP1 for Max9 (32-bit and 64-bit), the script should work fine when you do that!

Hi Colin – We are upgrading to 64 bit and this script doesn’t work even with the latest hotfix – 2009/5/15
Is it an Autodesk issue.
thanks,
Julian Boswell
Julian, thanks for contacting me, I run 64-bit as well and have had no problems at all. I did all of the testing with it, let’s get this sorted out: give me your OS and MAX Version and I’ll start from there.
Thank you,
Colin
Hi Colin,
Firstly great script – have been using it for a couple of years now.
Unfortunately I’ve hit my first issue having just upgraded to 64 Bit 3DS Max Design 2010 SP1 on windows XP 64. When I run the script via the toolbar button the script opens fien in the background and gives a ‘MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception’ that states ‘–Unable to convert: undefined to type: FileName’. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
This Max replaced a previous install of 32 bit Max 2008 on the same OS and your script ran perfectly in that.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Tried it today on max 2010 x64 and it works very well ! Thank you very much.
I get that ‘MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception’ that states ‘–Unable to convert: undefined to type: FileName’ but only in one file… Do you know where I should start looking to troubleshoot this file?
Thanks, and amazing script by the way!
Contact me via email to resolve this issue, if you can send me the max file that it happens with, and what version of max you’re running. If you’re using max 9, make sure you have SP1 installed from autodesk’s site.

Hi there
Could you please provide us a quote on the below script we need writing.
The pointmatcher tool essentially has to apply a ‘point oven’ (PO) modifier to the selected objects and then link the modifier to a PO mdd file of the same geometry name. The tool will also need options to:
Zero out the transforms for the selected objects
Align all PO files to a specified start frame
Offset selected objects PO files by a specified frame count
Remove all PO modifiers from selected objects.
the point oven plugin can be found here http://www.ef9.com/ef9/PO.htm
Hi Colin,
I was trying to use the script today – at work and at home…
MaxDesign 2010 + vray1.5SP3 / +vray1.5SP4
for sp4 – gives an exceptional error
for sp3 – frozes and do thing too far slow
Hope you could fix it
Great tool!
Dennis, email me and we’ll get it worked out. I don’t have your email to reply to you directly.
