------------------------------
A set of 8 scripts for daily use in 3ds Max. Helps accurately place objects, manage pivots and alignments, scale references, and set up Corona materials.
🔹 Developed and tested in 3ds Max 2026 / 2027.
🔹 Includes ready-made icons and installation instructions.
🔹 Commands can be conveniently used through the Quad menu, toolbars, and hotkeys.
What’s included in the pack:
• ReferencePlane — creates a plane with the proportions of the reference image and allows you to set its scale based on a known size. Drag the picture into the script window, mark two points, and specify the actual distance between them.
• FixAlbedo — batch sets the Diffuse Level in the materials of selected objects and groups. Opens a dialog with a default value of 0.8 and the option to specify your own. Works only with CoronaMaterial.
• SmartSnap — enables snapping and automatically selects the mode: 3D for perspective and cameras, 2.5D for orthographic views.
• SmartPivot — moves the pivot to the selected side of the object: X+, X−, Y+, Y−, top, bottom, or center. The “+” button changes the position along the selected axis while preserving the coordinates along the others. For example, you can place the pivot down and then shift it to the X+ side.
• CenterBetween2Points — places an object, group, or selected vertices, polygons, and elements in the middle between two specified points along the selected axes.
• PlaceOnPoint — moves an object or group to a specified point on the surface, using the pivot as the placement point.
• PlaceOnSurface — places an object on the surface and immediately moves the pivot to the lowest point along the Z− axis.
• SnapToNearestSurface — moves the object to the nearest surface in the selected direction and shifts the pivot to the side of contact. For example, when selecting Y−, the picture is pressed against the wall with its Y− side.
